Which Javascript frameworks should I learn for 2018?

  • Learn the merits of functional programming and use its concepts where you can. Learn how to be declarative instead of imperative when you can.
  • Learn small libraries like React and Redux which do one thing and do it well. Pick libraries with the smallest API.
  • Learn how to build scalable data APIs (take a look at GraphQL)
  • Learn the power of CSS and how to use it to minimize your applications JavaScript code.
