Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Express, React, Node.JS

Kevin, comming from EXTJS that basically has no HTML but only javascript
component objects, Angular is HTML template driven while REACT uses HTML
imbedded in javascript that in an EXTJS perspective both sucks.
Unfortunately EXTJS isn't an option anymore because of licensing and lack
of critical mass. And as most javascript frameworks moving from EXTJS 3.x
to 4+ requires a more or less total rewrite.

Personal I'm not the great believer in "whatever floats my boat strategies"
by flipping the coin between a lot of technologies every morning, the real
fun for me comes when I enters the higher level of a single technology
instead of knowing the basics in many - but that is just me.

That’s correct. And I think I am right in saying that Angular is HTML
centric whereas React is JavaScript centric. By that I mean one uses
directives to augment HTML and the other has elements of HTML embedded in
JavaScript. Whatever floats your boat....

The biggest complaint I hear about Angular is that every release is a
major breaking change (re-learn & re-write).

Thanks for sharing that, Tim. There are a lot of good ways to bring the
IBM i to the web.

What was your shop's learning curve with Angular? I've heard Angular

has a

relatively steep learning curve, but I usually hear that from people
advocating for other technologies. So I'd like to know your take on the
learning curve for Angular.

The reasons why I'm looking at Node, Express and React are because: (a)

we

have another development team interested in Node on the IBM i for their

own

reasons, (b) a lot of people use Express with Node, and (c) React is

being

used in one form or another by some high volume sites. For example,

Walmart

is using Node with something called Electrode, which is based on React.

And

React was created by Facebook.

But other technologies can be equally good at meeting the needs of

various

shops.

Thanks,
