Ask HN: Building a framework/library for education purposes. How best to do it?
If I wanted to develop a deeper understanding of web technologies by building a framework or library, what is the best way to do it?
- itamarst 10y agoIt's hard to build things without a specific use case in mind. So maybe start with a specific application in mind and build a framework to help with that. Or, skip the framework and just build the application: if purpose is learning it's probably a better way to go, since it's a more direct use case.
- carlmungz 10y agoMy application is automation and aggregation. I want to build a framework so I can gain a deeper appreciation of the pros/cons of the abstractions frameworks create
- brudgers 10y agoStart building and see what happens. Understanding does not require completion or utility. It just requires research. Some experiments fail. That does not mean nothing is learned. Good luck.
