Panel: Charles Max WoodAimee KnightAJ O'Neal Special Guests: Kitson KellyIn this episode, the JavaScript Jabber panelists talk with Kitson Kelly about evaluating web frameworks. Kitson is currently in Australia working for ThoughtWorks as a principle technologist. He has written many articles on frameworks and urges that people don’t get stuck on one framework in their programming. He talks about how using only frameworks that you know could hurt you in the long run. This episode is great for understanding when to use certain JavaScript frameworks and how branching out from what is comfortable might make your job easier.In particular, we dive pretty deep on:Articles on web frameworksHow do you pick a JavaScript framework to use?The framework depends on your changing needsRecommending less popular frameworksAngular, Ember, ReactReact vs ReduxCertain domains with different frameworks?Each framework takes a different approachHow to decide which framework to use?Only give it a couple days to see if your app works with the frameworkIs it ever appropriate to not use a certain framework?Frameworks are there to make your job easierDon’t be afraid to try new frameworksChoose a framework that will “be there tomorrow”What is the future for frameworks?Experiment and be honest with what you needAnd much, much more!Links:LinodeThoughtWorksKendo UILootCrate@KitsonKKitson’s GitHubPicks:CharlesFacebookThe 12 Week Year by Brian P.
