Listen "Reactive Frameworks - Vue.js"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we discuss our journey from static and CMS driven sites to reactive frameworks, specifically Vue.js.
Segment 1 - Static to Reactive
Started by creating simple static sites - no need for reactive elements
When dynamic/reactive content was needed we would use document.createElement
Segment 2 - CMS to Reactive
We would use Wordpress, CouchCMS, or Webflow for any content management that our users would need
Eventually elements became too varied and a dynamic solution was needed - reactive frameworks
The "Hub" presented a unique issue of not having a standard layout while still being "posts" (the episode clarifies this point)
Segment 3 - How We Plan to Use Vue.js
Quick start guide for people to get up and running
HexDash a collaborative project that people can contribute to
Vue.js components - great for reusability
Vue.js will be used in the making of the HTML All The Things website
Segment 4 - Matt's Experience Getting Quickly Started with Vue.js
Moving over from a typical experience using vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, SASS, Bootstrap, Webflow, or CouchCMS
Prior experience with CLI and NPM
First time using Visual Studio Code
Web News - Trendy & Loud vs Silence
NodeJS vs PHP
Big frameworks vs old ones
WordPress power 31% of the internet (Source: https://wordpress.com)
WordPress vs Webflow
Workflow conflicts
Are freelancers using bleeding edge technology, while the rest of the industry (specifically big enterprise) still using "old" tech?
