Learning to code/build with a front-end foundation
This question has prob been asked a million times in various forms, but struggling to find a good response.
I've got a decent base with code from front-end perspective. Self taught HTML/CSS/JS/Jquery and some dabbles with other things.
I want to build my MVP ideas. I don't really care about best practices or frameworks, I just want to be able to connect with some API's, add logins etc. (and have a decent community to figure out issues as I go).
Everything feels so overcomplicated. In the old days it was just databases, now it's React apps with firebase etc.
I'm confused specifically as to what language to learn or where exactly to start.
I always liked Rails/Ruby from the outside but tried to build something before and found resolving bugs hard. So perhaps node is the way to go? I just want the quickest way to start building actual things.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks
Hi Liam,
Here's my take:
Quasar for the front end (It's in Vue), and allows you to quickly set up an app that you build out to an SPA, PWA, Electron desktop app, hybrid mobile app, or browser extension. You might not want all those, but it means when you do, you will have already used it for something else.
Feathers for the API (it's in Node), as it lets you set up an API with authentication really quick.
Both are obviously JS, which helps use one language for both.
Good luck!
Andy
Thanks Andy, sounds good but prob still a little more complicated for my needs at least on the front end. I definitely don't need all those views and should've mentioned my ideas usually revolve around web apps.
I will check out feathers and node though!
