It just shows how fast the web moves (or how old I am) that someone can write "Then the Web happened...pages were giant jumbled messes of template and jQuery."

There were plenty of new paradigms and new headaches before the JQuery era!
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoThe history of a subject does not exist prior to someone's interest in it. It must be an internet meme, because it happens way too often. Someone the other day posted an article in which the author said Github "invented" the term Fork. Mmmmkay...
- stickfigure 10y agoOP here. My first draft of the intro was a long-winded history that went all the way back to Win16 thunking. It was too long and detracted from the point of the article, so I cut it down.
- anjc 10y agoI figured ;) Good article.
- acemarke 10y agoI'd actually like to see that history as another post, then :) Last fall I did a presentation called "The (R)Evolution of Web Dev", which covered a brief history of web dev technologies and gave an overview of modern web dev tech and trends: http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2016/10/presentation-modern-web-dev-overview/ http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2016/10/presentation-modern... . I also ran across a couple similar presentations recently: http://www.bcssouthwest.org.uk/presentations/MikeEvans2016.pdf http://www.bcssouthwest.org.uk/presentations/MikeEvans2016.p... and https://hackernoon.com/modern-web-development-bf0b2ef0e22e https://hackernoon.com/modern-web-development-bf0b2ef0e22e . Anyway, excellent post. I'm actually a Redux maintainer, and spend a lot of time answering questions about use of React and Redux. I'd be happy to chat with you sometime about any React+Redux-related topics or questions you might have. I'm @acemarke on Twitter, and also in the Reactiflux chat channels at https://www.reactiflux.com https://www.reactiflux.com .
