Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Gatsby

    The best React-based framework with performance, scalability and security built in.

  • Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

  • core

    🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web. (by vuejs)

  • Vue is a competitor/peer to React, and some find it a little easier to learn at first. It's really solid, too, but doesn't have the backing of Facebook/Meta to push it forward. You would rarely, if ever, use them on the same project.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • vite

    Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  • Compiling assets is a little daunting at first, check out Vite which is lightning fast and created by the same guy that made Vue. It's becoming the standard.

  • Strapi

    🚀 Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% JavaScript/TypeScript, fully customizable and developer-first.

  • Learn some type of way to manage content using a content management system (CMS). The most common is WordPress (unfortunately it kind of sucks to develop in) but then there's new stuff like Strapi and Contentful, both solid.

  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

  • React is the JS framework that Facebook is using under the hood, and right now is probably the most abundant work out there. This is "front-end" framework which means it primarily deals with the presentation of the app and user interaction.

  • Nuxt.js

    Discontinued Nuxt is an intuitive and extendable way to create type-safe, performant and production-grade full-stack web apps and websites with Vue 3. [Moved to: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt]

  • Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

  • Next.js

    The React Framework

  • Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Gridsome

    ⚡️ The Jamstack framework for Vue.js

  • Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

  • git

    A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

  • Git is basically how you "save your game" when you are coding, allowing you to revert back to any previous point in the event that you break something. It also allows teams to work together: think two people with two separate game saves merged into one.
