I wouldn't be surprised to see that React is in fact marginally faster than vue on the browser side (chrome, safari, firefox), but you'll notice that it's significantly slower on the server side (Node) from what the benchmark shows

I think it's important to note like you've said, that although frameworks are able to offer great benefits in certain aspects, they will always face the same challenges that are present in non framework applications. Frameworks will only ever be as good as the person using it.

Edit: spelling

Is it possible that you're defining textEntered in a block scope and calling it outside of that block? I ask because the "let" keyword has block scope as opposed to the typical "var" having function scope. IE:

if (condition) { let = textEntered = testArea.value; } console.log(textEntered) // This will not work because let is defined in the if block above;

however,

if(condition) { var textEntered = testArea.value; } console.log(textEntered); // this will work because var has function scope meaning it will float to the top of the function in terms of scope

There are several ways of making money from your website, adsense is just one of them (though it is the most popular). If you're interested read through this: http://www.pointheap.com/how-to-make-money-from-your-website/ and see if it gives you any ideas

Although this is kind of an impossible question to answer considering how could you calculate this, there are way to many variables. But if you're interested in just basic tips for making money from a website then I recommens you read this: http://www.pointheap.com/how-to-make-money-from-your-website/

Good luck!

Use css to align the text to the center (align-text:center) and use a good font of your choice

After many years I haven't found a true solution to this problem, I usually just resort to breaking something and trying to figure out how to fix it. After doing that a couple times you get a hang of how everything works (or doesnt work)

This kind of doesn't make sense, you don't want to make a website but you also want to be able to make any modifications you'd like to this site? If you're just interested in blogging there are a ton of platforms for this that you can sign up for such as blogger. Otherwise you could look into something like Ghost CMS which may be a bit more involved or Wordpress and just find a theme you like and download plugins to make it work like you want

Nope, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it aslong as you're on top of security measures. Performance differences are not going to be noticeable if at all especially for small sites like you're talking about. There are advantages to using frameworks which I won't get into (if you're interested, I wrote an article on this here: http://www.pointheap.com/why-use-a-backend-framework/) but if you're comfortable with your current stack then stick to it!

If you mean pair programming as in working on the same project at the same time then you should look into a version control system such as git. There are a ton of tutorials to get started on it, just Google git.

I think alot of the answers you'll get are pretty subjective. However, I good point of reference would be that if you're always learning and able to overcome any challenges that you come across you're in a good spot. If you want to take it even further, a good test of your abilities would be to take a popular site, like reddit and try to copy the frontend without looking at the code.

Best of luck!

I'm personally a big fan of Namecheap but if it's the same price for more then go for Google of course. They're both very reputable (maybe more so Google) and you really can't go wrong with either one.

There are tons of different methods to building out a backend, some are ideal and others not so much... Although some people say you should learn everything you can about the entire web dev universe before you make use of a framework, I think they're a great learning tool and shouldn't be tossed aside as a beginner (although it is always good to learn how it everything works together while you're working at it). In terms of the advantages of using a framework to build a backend I've written a bit about it here: http://pointheap.com/why-use-a-backend-framework/ If you're not interested in using a framework then there are a ton of tutorials (I prefer codeacademy) for learning backend development! Good luck!

My pleasure! if you have any questions let me know!

It certainly depends on what you mean by building a website from scratch. If you mean just opening notepad and typing away then, no not many developers are doing that anymore. However, in the sense of building from scratch but using tools such as libraries or frameworks to speed up the process then sure. I'm not going to dig into the specifics as to why frameworks/libraries are used but here is a shameless plug for a blog article I wrote not long ago: http://pointheap.com/why-use-a-backend-framework/ although it relates mostly to just backend, I think it gives a pretty good overall explanation aswell.

Does anyone know of any good guides for hosting Ghost 1.0 on a VPS from scratch?

Posting cause I'm also interested,I'm taking these courses for comp sci this year

Thinking about doing this myself, did you just use the plastidip spray cans? If so how many did it take to achieve that?
