No its nothing like a minor language change. This actually happened to me and my Javascript UI experience (Jquery) is obsolete in the world of React and Angular or whatever the flavour of the month is.
- monkmartinez 9y agoPython's transition from 2 to 3 was anything but "minor"... further, jquery was designed and developed for a completely different reason than React or Angular at a different time in the evolution of the web. Your jquery knowledge still works I promise... the thing is there are better options.
- pritambaral 9y ago> Python's transition from 2 to 3 was anything but "minor" For the purpose of this discussion — carrying learned knowledge forward — it was minor.
- pythonaut_16 9y agoIf you learned Javascript and not jQuery then your experience is just as relevant today, with the main difference being that Javascript has had a lot of improvements since then (e.g. myArray.includes vs myArray.indexOf(x) != -1). Even jQuery is still helpful if you think of how it's accessing the DOM rather than just a set of magic functions to make things happen. If you know Javascript you can learn Angular or React or Vue fairly quickly.
- chrisza4 9y agoWhat does obsolte mean actually? Today you still can build web app by jQuery. Obsolete does not mean you cannot use your knowledge anymore. It means that community are shifting interested into new thing, maybe for better or for worse. In this case, I do not think stick with JQuery or old framework for 5 years is productive for programming. If that happen to any community I would say that is a downside, not an upside. Except for that fact that community and newly graduated junior developer are ahead of me in something. I can live with that
