Both. Hard to understand react without some knowledge of jQuery. Also make sure you have a really good understanding of vanilla javascript. There is no free lunch (Unfortunately)

Very interesting......... Thanks for link

VueJS does not have the backing of Facebook and cannot compete on that issue alone.

How does that matter? There are countless historical examples where larger organizations with plenty of funding lost to smaller opponent.

Ah, like how babel was able to compete with typescript despite typescript being funded by Microsoft and babel by community efforts

I choose Babel over Typescript, because Babel implements default Ecmascript (afaik). Typescript is mostly type-safe and welcoming for non-js (c#, maybe java) coders.

I've seen many enterprise chooses angular just because of Google. React is the similar in this subject.

Popularity and some-big-company's supports is most important thing for them.

E.g. Jenkins vs. Hudson

That's a very, very different example. Jenkins was an exodus by community members of an existing project. And Oracle didn't have the political will to keep up with Hudson anyway.

It's like comparing Vue with LibreOffice.

A counterexample here - Angular. I think, it is slowly becoming a piece of abandondware exactly because of Google's influence and backing.

Angular 1 was a framework, Angular 2 was a piece of a religious writing that people developed to pad their resumes.

The human brain understands objects more intuitively rather than abstract mathematical objects.

It is more difficult than OOP because of its strong association with mathematics (ie category theory and logic). Without this background knowledge it becomes like a magic black box with monads, monoids, applicatives..etc etc

Anything by Joko Beck. It talks about meditation in the context of daily living. Highly recommended.

Look at the spiritual side of things. What does it mean to be happy. Who defines success, you or your peers. How long does it last?

I can really relate your feelings about women, been there done that. Am now married with two kids and looking back at things I was totally wrong in the assumption that a drop dead gorgeous person would make you happy.

You see, happiness comes from within and is not defined by things like jobs, partners, things you own. If I could choose a religion for you it would be Buddhism, follow the steps and happiness is guaranteed.

All the best

Josh what really bamboozles me about your code is this..the console function returns an object, yet at no time is the text being forwarded to the function ie. var console = function(text) { ... } so when you say console.log("information...") how is function getting the string??

cheers PK

You're mostly right.

The console var is assigned the result of an immediately-invoked anonymous function (http://benalman.com/news/2010/11/immediately-invoked-functio...).

The result of this function is an object which contains the console functions (log, warn, error, etc). Moreover, these functions only exist inside the scope of the anonymous function, so the only way to access them is through the returned object. This prevents the global namespace from being polluted.

So when you call console.log('hello'), you're applying one of those functions in the object returned by the anonymous function.

Wow! Once more many thanks for your time and effort. It is much appreciated. You are a Javascript GOD :-)

Cheers PK

I love it. Cheers PK

Thanks, hope you find it useful.
