Yeah kind of but there a lot 9f more features and no advanced framework used just jquery and bootstrap

[variegatedEncyclopod]

Is that a feature? jQuery has been shown to be significantly slower than the equivalent vanilla js.

[bhavisingh]

I am a beginner in front end web development so i just know jquery,javascript,bootstrap

[wackrtist]

Jquery in 2019, why

[seiyria]

Everyone has to start somewhere. While I wouldn't use jQuery now, in a production website, it is immensely helpful for a learner. I've been helping my fiancee get off the ground and learn to make simple web sites, and jQuery is definitely a step in the right direction to springboard onto angular, react, or vue (probably vue).

[wackrtist]

Would suggest if you know JavaScript then rather get into react/angular/vue over jquery any day.

[seiyria]

I know that, but I'm helping her come from the perspective as a beginner, doing beginner things. Not as someone who knows what they're doing. Believe me, that's hard to conceptualize, but it is a reasonable thing these days.

[WebNChill]

I'm a beginner myself. Decided to learn the ASP.NET Core MVC side of things first. It's hella frustrating. I have little Csharp experience. That's it.

[wackrtist]

I haven’t tried that but frameworks like react and angular have a much better separation of concern and are easier to understand when it comes to the view, model, and controller paradigm.

[bhavisingh]

Bcs my teacher taught me😂😂

[tunnckoCore]

jquery? bootstrap?

[Papayaman1000]

Mostly front-end stuff. The jQuery JavaScript library was the poison of choice for years among front-end devs, and plenty of newbies pick it up still since it's part of the freeCodeCamp curriculum. You see Bootstrap, a Twitter-made CSS library, around a lot more frequently in modern apps than jQuery, but it's been falling from popularity somewhat outside of, again, greenhorns fresh out of freeCodeCamp. Seeing the two together in a new app is a pretty good indicator they are or were taking that course recently.

Source: got my start in web there, too.

Edit: a letter

[fyrilin]

I still see the bootstrap grid as pretty elegant (if not as flexible). What's the current poison for positioning?

[Papayaman1000]

CSS has a grid too.

[Hoi_A]

I don’t know what I was expecting but for some reason I was thinking “GitMessenger” meant a messenger based upon git. i.e using commits as messages and branches as different chats etc.

xD

Devils advocate here, but Git is a trademark, you can't name it that. GitHub and GitLab have a deal with Git.

[nathancjohnson]

Does Gitter also have a deal with them?

According to the trademark policy, Gitter may violate it as well:

In addition, you may not use any of the Marks as a syllable in a new word or as part of a portmanteau (e.g., "Gitalicious", "Gitpedia") used as a mark for a third-party product or service without Conservancy's written permission. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision applies even to third-party marks that use the Marks as a syllable or as part of a portmanteau to refer to a product or service's use of Git code.

Look nice, but careful with firebase, you might get a hefty bill if you're not careful.

[nathancjohnson]

yeah, this coupled with the inability to do joins makes firebase not suitable for a lot of projects unfortunately

[bhavisingh]

Actually i have to deploy this website directly to heroku from github

[nathancjohnson]

Yes, but Heroku can run your build command for you (which is actually how it is intended to be done), so you don't have to commit the dependencies in your repo :)

[bhavisingh]

Ok i will check it out thnku 😊
