Nice... another heavy hitter using React not mentioned in the article would be Walmart, who has done a lot for optimized server/client and doughnut rendering.

While cool... much like ngrx, this is emphatically no longer redux in my mind, and shouldn't be labelled as such.  There are a lot of similar frameworks, and they are cool but I can't help but feel they are trying to piggy back a different pattern off of redux's success.

I'm sorry, I just *REALLY* don't see the point of Bit... just like I didn't see the point of Bower.

Note KendoUI is a commercially licensed package, and starts around $900/year for developer licensing.  Beyond this, IIRC it's very heavy to use.

Updated article link to the github repo, which points to the website.  Since the GH link is more likely to be the most desired entry point by users of this site.

Note: I'm not the one who down-voted this.

Cassandra and Redis aren't really document databases.  Cassandra is closer to BigTable as a column store, and Redis is more like an extended key/value store.

Not sure how useful the extension is in practice, but definitely worth a look for an example of *how* to write VS Code extensions.

I'm generally skeptical of posts for "courses" on this and similar sites.  In particular, at a glance, I don't know if this is a really free site, if some courses are free, or you can complete the lessons with or without payment.  I don't have a problem with people wanting to get paid, but one really needs to be skeptical, there's a lot of junk.

Also, as MaxArt mentions, v5 is a few versions behind, but Angular had had far fewer breaking changes between versions since v3-4.  The workflows are pretty solid.

I'm personally not a fan of Angular and prefer React+Redux+thunks/fetch myself YMMV but every time I've used or worked with Angular, I'm reminded of why I don't care for it.

It's not a bad article, but necessarily a little shallow.  Also, I tend to prefer JSX over Vue's component model, but that's me.  To me, JSX as used is very similar to what E4X offered over a decade ago, but never bore fruit. Only Mozilla's JS engine and Adobe's ActionScript ever supported it .  VB.Net also has a similar feature for XML literals that I wish C# integrated.

In the end it's important to have at least a shallow understanding of the concepts as they make building actual applications much easier in practice.  Though, like anything, you can use any programming tool badly and create a mess.
