Why use a Javascript Framework?
Why use a Javascript Framework? There are several reasons.
- The framework will account for different browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
- It may account for different devices (PC, tablet, smart phone).
- It will account for different browser versions. For example, older browsers will not support HTML5. A framework should have a fall back option.
- It helps with separation of concerns. Any good framework will have a DOM query option so you can apply javascript functions to any DOM node.
- I'm sure there are other reasons, so I'll come back later and update this more.
I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for more reasons. Please update this ASAP. Think I'll go Eat Snacks while I wait.
ReplyDelete*exactly*. I've been developing sophisticated pages with plain ol' HTML/CSS/JS for decades in Dreamweaver, and I see no reason to complicate things immensely by adding a C++-like build and preprocessing system just to develop markup.
