Advice to Young Frontend Web Developers: Use React. HTML is not a rich enough framework to do client work.
Second article in a row here advocating for HTML purism. That is where I jump in and talk about how React changed my career in 2015. Since then, my life has had a measurable impact because of how easy building apps became thanks to React. There is no app where I would consider not using React including landing pages.
- rpmisms 6y agoUnless you need your stuff to work on older devices. HTML is really really good at what it does, and often it's good enough. Yeah, don't be a purist, but html and css is just fine for landing pages and static sites.
- err4nt 6y agoWhat kind of software application is a landing page? When you call it a "page" it makes it almost seem like a document of some kind...
- satvikpendem 6y agoYes, and even with React, one can use a static site generator to turn it into HTML, CSS, and minimal JS, so I don't see any reason not to use React, beyond the oft touted ones.
