Date: October 19th, 2017 8:44 PM Author: Carmine dashing bawdyhouse I do front-end shit so infrequently I always forget bootstrap and whatnot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769114&forum_id=1024#34483009) |
Date: October 19th, 2017 8:46 PM Author: Exhilarant Disturbing Factory Reset Button Casino I don't bother with bootstrap anymore. CSS flexbox makes it super easy to do layout now, and it's really quick to learn.

Date: October 19th, 2017 8:48 PM Author: Carmine dashing bawdyhouse Yeah but I don't want to have to write a bunch of custom shit to make formatting look half decent. I hate tinkering with css and just want to keep effort to a minimum (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769114&forum_id=1024#34483040) |

Is this for work, or for a backend focused side project? |

Date: October 19th, 2017 8:58 PM Author: Carmine dashing bawdyhouse It's for work but we're basically like a consulting firm where there are lots and lots of small projects, so the sites are usually very small when it's required to have one. And all of it is for corporate shit so it's not like it has to be the latest millennial-friendly web 6.0 slick whizzbang experience.
What about semantic UI? |

Using a component library like this will save you a lot of time, but there will still need a ton of wireup and custom css for layout and one-off tweaks in the UI. We use material-ui and it has saved us a lot of time.
Do you use any frontend framework, or just render serverside and manipulate/interact with jquery? |

Date: October 20th, 2017 12:03 AM Author: Carmine dashing bawdyhouse I use Vue since it's very easy to use for small websites. I didn't even learn JS until this year so for most other things I just write vanilla javascript since I never need anything terribly fancy (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769114&forum_id=1024#34484501) |

Date: October 20th, 2017 1:13 AM Author: Exhilarant Disturbing Factory Reset Button Casino Any good resources you like for learning Vue? I love React, but it would be good to learn another framework. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769114&forum_id=1024#34484949) |

Date: October 20th, 2017 5:11 PM Author: Carmine dashing bawdyhouse It's dead simple, if you know React (which I don't really have the time/desire to learn since I only work on small projects) you could easily pick it up just by reading the docs. I'm shit with JS and I didn't have much problem
I came straight from Knockout, as everything else was too "heavy" for my needs. Spiritually it serves a very similar niche IME, but the underlying implementation is better, it's cleaner, actually updated, etc. |
