That's some interesting points you are making. Just one question: > The basic structure of the page should be simple div based layout enhanced with CSS. Any data that must be rendered in JS ( such as dynamic tables ) can be done by outputting the data in JSON format into the page, and then calling the JS to construct the table. This is faster than adding a calling to a JSON resource to get the data for the table. It allows data and page structure to be sent to the frontend all at once. In html/css are you able to position an element on the page exactly where you want? I am doing at the moment some web development for maths exercises, and I couldn't manage to get the positioning right with pure html/css, so I had to resort to: $("#my_element").offset({"left":x,"top":y}); The positioning I want is something non trivial because the elements are positioned with respect to each other. I am just nitpicking here, on overall I think your comment is very informative.
