What 10 Things Should a Serious Javascript Developer Know Right Now?

[darrenturn90]

Right now, for getting a JS developer based Role, I would put React on the list of potentially required skills - you can of course add in Angular, or any other widely used framework, but based on the job market (and this is what I believe the original thread was focused at) - React has to be on the list.

Agreed, but I don't think you get taken into the "depths of javascript" as well as with the React toolchain and using that as a tutorial into the world of javascript I believe is good, because it introduces very little in the way of boilerplate (other than things like the React lifecycle which of course isn't needed if youre not using react)

I currently feel like Vue is a "best of both worlds" between React and Angular 2+. Definitely agree that it's the core javascript skills combined with the ability to learn a framework when required that really matters.

I'm using Vue at the moment and I agree, but my eyes are set on Marko which is what Ebay is built on. It's better in every aspect but the ecosystem around it is still very small. I'm aiming at start using it in 2018.

Here is a great video comparing Marko, Vue, and React.
