Hi! I’m Wan Ching. I started coding in 2012 with #JavaScript, #Python, and #jQuery. Over the years, I’ve dived into #React, #TypeScript, and now #LLMs. They’re #ToolsNotMagic, and can never replace thinking. 
Fundamentals still matter. I’m always excited to learn and grow with every new tool.
I understand it is customary to #Introduction myself.
30 Years of JavaScript: 10 Milestones That Changed the Web, by @ricmac (@TheNewStack):

My employer, after 7 months of work, fired me overnight. Because I would be too "finicky" about code quality and security risks, which would better suit "a bank or cybersecurity company".
So I'm again #lookingForJob, either at #Montpellier (France) or #fullRemote. I am a #fullStack #developer with almost 10 years of experience on #php, #symfony, #html, #css, #javascript (#jquery and I'm also learning #vue). I am fluent in English, both written and spoken.
Mon employeur, après 7 mois de période d'essai, vient de la rompre du jour au lendemain. Parce que je serais trop "pointilleuse" sur le code et les risques de sécurité, ce qui conviendrait mieux au secteur "de la banque ou de la cybersécurité".
Donc #jeChercheUnJob à nouveau, sur #Montpellier ou #fullRemote. Je suis #developpeuse #fullStack avec presque 10 ans d'expérience professionnelle sur #php, #symfony, #html, #css, #javascript (#jquery mais je suis en train de me former sur #vue)
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this podcast interview with John Resig on Syntax https://syntax.fm/show/800/why-the-jquery-creator-uses-react-and-typescript-john-resig
jQuery UI 1.13.3 has been released! jQuery UI is in maintenance mode, which means we still fix security issues and some bugs.

I have the opportunity to do a redesign of a very large site that I built about 5 years ago and have maintained since. Looking to brush up on the newer #CSS / #JS that’s available to me for #frontend. The current site was built with #JQuery and #flexbox was not even an option at the time. Would love to move to #vanillaJS for most things and get the most out of flexbox that I can.
Looking for good resources, if anyone knows of any.
Finally getting around to learning #React. It's pretty nifty, but also makes me sad how many layers of abstraction we have now in #web dev. Back when the equivalent was #jQuery, I could take students with no experience up to the point of being able to do some pretty cool stuff. Implementing the same things with React requires more programming know-how, along with setting up a fairly intricate dev environment — stuff like npm and vite that are anxiety-inducing for students with no CLI exposure.
@slightlyoff Out of curiousity…
My workplace uses #React. I gave it a try with one project to get to know it, and while it does reduce a lot of #JavaScript boiler plate, I have found it clunky to deal with.
I've written bare-bones JS for manipulating the DOM… it's tedious. https://github.com/sjlongland/js-calendar just uses the browser DOM functions directly.
Prior to that, we were using #AngularJS (v1, never graduated from that). I never used it enough to really get to know how it worked.
The only other framework I've come anywhere near recently is #JQuery -- in the context of the #NodeRED UI.
Is there an alternate framework one should be looking more closely at?
The untold history of web development:
1990: HTML invented.
1994: CSS invented to fix HTML.
1995: JS invented to fix HTML/CSS.
2006: jQuery invented to fix JS.
2010: AngularJS invented to fix jQuery.
2013: React invented to fix AngularJS.
2014: Vue invented to fix React & Angular.
2016: Angular 2 invented to fix AngularJS & React.
2019: Svelte 3 invented to fix React, Angular, Vue.
2019: React hooks invented to fix React.
2020: Vue 3 invented to fix React hooks.
2020: Solid invented to fix React, Angular, Svelte, Vue.
2020: HTMX 1.0 invented to fix React, Angular, Svelte, Vue, Solid.
2021: React suspense invented to fix React, again.
2023: Svelte Runes invented to fix Svelte.
2024: jQuery still used on 75% of websites.
@Stocker_jp それはたしかに古すぎですね…
百歩譲って入口として #jQuery で慣れるみたいなのは、まああるとは思いますが、、 #Dreamweaver のしかも #CS6 …！！！（もう #Adobe もはるか昔にサポートも終わってるバージョン… 
It's exciting to see how far one can get with #webcomponents (custom elements) and #vanillajs nowadays. If you want to follow what @_web_ is doing rewriting old #coffeescript and #jquery based JS into modern #es6 just keep an eye on latest PRs of the 7.1 milestone

That is #absolutely #true. The rplayer.core.js #module (which can be run separately) even uses #jQuery, which is a weakness in this regard. But there's another level to this. #RPlayer serves primarily as an #archive. If I know the #IPFS #CID, I can easily deduce the address of the rplayer.conf.js file, which contains all the #information and #paths to the #media...
This is my #introduction post. I definitely did not make any posts before this.
- He/him
- I enjoy #cooking a lot.
- I'm a #SoftwareEngineer doing #webdev and #mobiledev (#JavaScript, #JQuery, #ColdFusion, #MySQL, #MSSQL, #Flutter, #Dart).
- I like #manga, #anime, and #manhwa, #DnD, #MagicTheGathering, #EDH, #Wildermyth, #LeagueOfLegends (but ARAM shenanigans only!)
- Eclectic music tastes.
- Recognizes the benefits of going outside but struggles to do so.
- I write lists often.
Currently filling out the #stackoverflow developer survey, but couldn't find #Preact in the list.
Also cropped out most of the list here, I also selected Next.js and #node in addition to what's pictured and #jQuery that I did briefly do something with last year... jQuery never dies lol
I moved servers, so here's an #Introduction:
I'm a #Python / #Java #SoftwareEngineer by day, but after that I interact with a lot of #FOSS and other #OpenSource projects.
I maintain and own #Select2, the #JavaScript library that I joke is keeping #jQuery alive. I'm also a maintainer on #DjangoRestFramework and #Jinja2 but I'll admit I do less with them now that I don't use #Django for work.
I have a lot of #HomeAutomation projects that make heavy use of #HomeAssistant (#ESPHome, #ZigBee).
jQuery 4.0.0 BETA has arrived!
