Tech Trends Showdown: React vs Angular vs Vue

Tech Trends Showdown: React vs Angular vs Vue

By Andrei Neagoie, MEDIUM


We are going to look at job postings, developer statistics, download numbers, and other factors, to actually burst through the fuzzy cloud that is React, Angular and Vue, and decide what you should learn in 2019 for your career.

Methodology:

The goal is to conduct an unbiased search based on the criteria:
Job Demand — what is the actual job demand and available jobs with each of the the 3 libraries and frameworks.
Developer Usage — which of the 3 are developers and programmers using?
Developer Opinion — you want to enjoy the tool you are using. How do developers feel about each of these 3?
In this article you will find sections on the above topics. Ideally, we want to pick the tool that is the most in demand, which will allow us to have a higher chance of employability, while also keeping in mind that we want to enjoy working with the library. Finally, we want to pick the one that is not in a decline, but instead, has a bright future and is growing in the developer community. Let’s get started!

Very cool JS libraries!



11 Javascript Data Visualization Libraries for 2019

Selected open source libraries for beautiful charts, graphs and data visualization in your JS applications.




We live in an era of data explosion, when nearly every application we develop uses or leverages data to improve the experience delivered to the users.
Sometimes, the best feature we can deliver to our users is the data itself. However, table and number charts are often tiring to read and it can be hard to draw actionable insights from large data tables.
Instead, we can use neat data visualization methods that leverage the brain’s ability to identify and process data in a visual way. To help you get started and easily add beautiful data visualization to your favorite application, here are some of the best Javascript data visualization libraries around in 2019 (unranked). Feel free to comment and add your own suggestions and insights!
