Swami, You choose a topic that is really really advanced. React is not an easy or lightweight framework, specially when you use it like most advanced web developers do by using the flow architecture. Once you go through that path, integration with other frameworks becomes really hard. For example, React uses a virtual DOM, jQuery does direct DOM manipulation, integrating them both is quite tricky. React + Flow uses a variation of the SAM pattern for holding data which is radically different than what we LC are used to, and also integration with backbone becomes trickier as backbone wants to manage data.
The Web is basically its own operating system these days, there are easy frameworks and hard frameworks. The JS community enjoys using a TON of small libraries piled up like a castle of cards. Knowing how to build these castles requires some work but it is not hard, it is more tedious than hard. The good thing is that in JS land there are always alternatives. There are multiple ways of solving anything, to the point that choosing to adopt a solution is part of the problem. Personally, I don't enjoy React even though Mozilla uses it a lot inside the new Firefox. I prefer Mithril JS or Vue JS, both of which are very advanced but IMHO easier to work with. One thing that is unique to the Web is that you can go from simple HTML + CSS without any JS and have something useful that provides value to you and your audience all the way to something that requires a PhD to understand. There is space for everyone and the web grows with you. Thats why LC web deployment (specially with new WASM stuff) will prove quite a good thing, it will allow many of us to leap into the largest deployment target ever. om om andre On Wed, Jan 10, 2018 at 8:02 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I wouldn't know wht that looked like. ;-) > > Bob S > > > > On Jan 10, 2018, at 12:22 , Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > > > Well, that page is like most computer manual pages: written in pompous, > > over-jargonised language. > > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > -- http://www.andregarzia.com -- All We Do Is Code. http://fon.nu -- minimalist url shortening service. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
