3:40 – Guest.

4:00 – Host: That is a lot of information – that might be more than 1 episode. We have to stay focused!

4:14 – Host: I read one of your recent blogs about Cross Filled Violators. I met you through your blog before we did the

Host: Give us your own ideas about starting your own app.

4:50 – Guest answers the question.

6:17 – Host: I am biased. But here is a fact. I used to work on a large team (60 people) and everyone committing to the same page app. We were using Angular.js 1.5, which I think they are still using that. I know that it worked but it wasn’t the easiest or fastest one to maintain, but it worked.

7:05 – Brian.

7:10 – Host: What are you trying to do? React doesn’t fulfill that need. I think you are being hyperballic and using extreme cases as the norm. Let’s be honest: we do cool stuff with jQuery plugins when we didn’t have a framework. When they say that the framework is stopping them then I say: I agree to disagree.

8:00 – Host: What do you think, Amir?

8:04 – Guest: I don’t have preferences. I try to build applications through the technologies and create components and simple applications.

8:30 – Brian.

8:33 – Guest: You create the component, and then...

9:21 – Brian: You don’t have to have a template file and another file – right?

9:35 – Guest.

9:48 – Host: I do in-line styles and in-line templates. One thing I learned from React is that I like my HTML, style and code. I like it being the same file as my component. I like that about that: I like single file components. This promotes getting frustrated if it gets too big. Yeah if it’s more than 500 lines than you have to simplify. That’s one of the things that l like.

10:47 – Brian: Modules versus...

10:55 – Guest.

11:07 – Host: I think in React and Vue you have the word module but in JavaScript you have a file that exports...

11:26 – Host: I have my opinion here and talking with Joe. He made a good point: at a certain level the frontend frameworks are the same. You could be doing different things but they basically do the same thing.

13:57 – Guest: Basically what that means is that the technology used it will do the same thing. Your patterns and practices are huge.

14:17 – Brian: If you are talking about the 3 popular frameworks out there – they are basically doing the same thing. I like Angular a little big more, though. Like you said, Aaron, people tend to pick the same one. I like the opinionated things about Angular. You get properties, components or called props or inputs you are getting a lot of the same features. It comes down to your personal preference.

15:31 – Host: What else Amir?

15:35 – Guest: Let’s talk about the UI.

16:05 – Brian.

16:08 – Guest asks a question.

16:34 – Guest: I kind of
