Agree with w/ this 100%. I'd say one practical adjustment is at this point when in doubt I'd probably use react if only because so many jobs use it and it will be good practice. That's more of a practical job thing because so many jobs on the front end use react. So I've personally done stuff that didn't "need" react just to get the practice in. That's just me though and a blog is something I wouldn't recommend react for etc.
love this channel. Dennis explains in a sensible way. Have been learned a lot on his Django + React app tutorial while finishing a Django project. Great work!
I'm loving ur content-beginner enthusiast-will learn the frontend stack and the same backend stack that u use-i feel like this will be a fun journey learning how to code-thx
In my very limited experience, when React was NEEDed, things are usually, at best, moderately complicated. React doesn't make things "cleaner", it just makes things less of a mess. I can do the very same thing with pure javascript, do the very same thing even easier with javascript and JQuery. React makes some of the UI interactions easier, but other than that, React is not that great IMHO, just the soup of component minutia makes maintenance, understanding what's going on and debugging a nightmare.
You are my motivation. Thank you so much. Currently preparing for viva-voice second sem. Missed you so much, and even tho I am preparing for viva-voice, I watch you for motivation, Thank you so much.
Wow. Felt like this video was just for me! Thanks Dennis! Currently building a small business, website has some complexity but not too over the top. Built the front end with js, jquery, html, css. Back-end with Django, PostgreSQL, Python. Have been asking myself the question of whether it was worth the time to learn React. Would the benefits outweigh the time commitment? Your video has helped me hugely when assessing the question! Thanks, please keep going with the great content!
My problem is that my app has a lot of complex interactions with the UI, but it all happens within a pair of stacked canvas elements that are being controlled by Three.js and Phaser; neither of which React / Vue play well with. The UI elements are being drawn and modified on demand by those other two libraries, rather than being static images or divs. If I want to do it in React, I have to rely on yet another third party library that turns everything into components, and hope that it still has eveeything I need (and that its creator hasnt abandoned it 10 years ago) as opposed to using the (Three, Phaser or Pixi) library directly, knowing it has everything I need and more.
I really want to build everything using django and its template engine. Just wanted to ask if there is any difference in speed/ response time or things like that
For me react js was limiting my work espaxial when dealing with recursive componentes like a recursive tree where each child can have a child. So now I am using react but also withe pure JavaScript like a compination of the two.
I also think that "amazing" JavaScript developers should be using a frontend library for larger projects. No matter how good of a developer you are, you should be using modern technologies that aid you in your work. Great video Dennis!
This. And of course if you consider yourself "amazing", not every colleague of yours will also be amazing and they still need to be able to be productive.
amazing js devs are the ones who came up with frameworks to make their work easier but sometimes its an overkill to load an entire framework to render some html and simple js functionality
video is great . I really confused now. there is a platform I want to build but a for seo reason , I dont know if react will be great fit for a frontend. I already made a decision to use springboot on the backend but I have to make a decision with a frontend technology. I have been working a full stack engineer for a while now started with the frontend and then move on the backend. some people told me to learn nextJs. I dont really want to waste another weeks to learn another frontend frameword instead of focusing on building the actual software but if it is the solution to use nextJs, then I will have to learn it. need your help
Hello. Can you please do an example website showing the process when developing a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? Then do the same website using the framework React. I am just starting out and would like to know how to implement React within a project. Thank you for all your help!
I wanted to learn React for creating mobile application. I listened in your Django course that React is used for this purpose if I wasn’t wrong . Do you have a course related to mobile development on React?
How about if you wanna build a blog website with potential for other features? As a way of showing a potential company you are applying for would you say it'd be best to have react+drf to showcase you can do that or think it'd still be better to stick with django templates?
What about React with Drupal (headless) VS just using Drupal for everything. Is there an advantage to building all your client sites with React. Or utilizing both depending on client needs?
This video could have been better titled “Should I use a JavaScript framework or not”. It’s not specific to React JS. It’s a generic discussion of JS frameworks in general. He could have replaced every React JS word in the discussion with say AngularJS and the video will still hold true.
Denis explained django in 7 minutes the context that I didn't understand with other videos and tutorials. Being more clear than tones of content just in 7 minutes. Real King!
Don't mind my unnecessary comments ☹️. Am working on a platform meant for developers which would contain more features like a normal social media site would have except that it meant for Developers. I initially started it with plain vanilla JavaScript, but do you think with time I can still upgrade the architecture to reactjs for frontend? Making it opensource some day, what your tought on this.
@@DennisIvy yh I thought of that earlier, what if am integrating OAuth using GitHub and google for user signup and login, after login in and signing up they would be redirected to some route with their token which would then be used for authorization, is that possible building an API out of that cause I taught the server needs to be within the same directory of the frontend project or create the frontend seperate then integrate d backend separately via API if am right? If I explained well, What do you think?
Decide what you mean by template engine, best always will be vanilla html, if you are talking about template engine as framework anything will do. Any today framework is good enough.
Hello Dennis, I really find you tutorial to be super helpful, can you please make a video on how to become self employed when you know web development. Can you make a video on how to acquire freelance clients etc. Thank you Dennis, Loads of love from India
You had me at Svelte. My rule of thumb for frameworks is this: If your site/app needs reusable components, use a framework. Also, if it makes your site needlessly more complicated, DON'T use it. I've seen lots of beginner devs use React for their portfolios even though it could've been done with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.
I was looking tutorials to create personal web for myself using front-end framework, then i saw your video. so no necessary to use framework for my own personal web. thank you
Kinda felt like this video was made for me, well made!
Same
I see you are getting more into the frontend side of things Pratham, Nice!

Felt like he yapped a lot tbh. Didn't get much insight except I just wasted 9 min

now for the thorny question: when to use react and when to use -- the dreaded -- angular?

Thank you so much ! this helps alot in knowing that why exactly i need to learn it when i have vanilla JS!
As someone that is transitioning to React, this is perfect
Dennis, you know what?! You are just a priceless diamond. Thank you so much.
Much appreciated 🙏

+1 , any suggestions for a frontend framework or library to use instead ? One that would make your apps behave differently ..
this question has been lingering in my mind recently, thanks for clearing that out
You were on design course live stream (Jon Frok One)
You are my motivation. Thank you so much.
Currently preparing for viva-voice second sem.
Missed you so much,
and even tho I am preparing for viva-voice, I watch you for motivation,
Thank you so much.
Thank you for the kind words :) and best of luck!
Happy hacking

Very well said, i was or am considering to learn React, but i didn't really have a reason to do so. You made some great points, earned that sub

Now I'm sure that I need react to save my project !!
Keep up the good work !
to put it simply: React pays the bills
I really want to build everything using django and its template engine. Just wanted to ask if there is any difference in speed/ response time or things like that
Thanks Dennis.
Will appreciate if you shoot a React tutorials for we beginners
Awesome video. Felt like this video was just for me. Clearly explained all relevant points
Dennis, please give us a react crash course pleaseeeee... U are amazing man
Please do a flask 2.0 version course...
For me react js was limiting my work espaxial when dealing with recursive componentes like a recursive tree where each child can have a child. So now I am using react but also withe pure JavaScript like a compination of the two.
Great video. Maybe I’ll look into learning react after my semester is over.
Pretty awesome video, Dennis! You're really helping people a lot with these hot motivations. Keep going...
Loved this video. You explain it a lovely way !
Super informative and beneficial. Thank you bro.
Is there any simpler / lighter alternative to react .just for webapps that are 2 or 3 pages and simple components?
New subscriber 🔥. Happy to learn Django with you
How about making a progressive web application with Django and templating engine and vanilla Js.All my Django web apps are installable on any. Device.
I have been waiting for an advice like this, I am starting a project and I don't know if a just have to go with pure js or react js
So when am I ready to dive into a framework? After a solid javascript foundation?
I also think that "amazing" JavaScript developers should be using a frontend library for larger projects. No matter how good of a developer you are, you should be using modern technologies that aid you in your work.

Is good to use django with react js?

What do you think about generic view in Django ?
I think a react crash course would be great for the community if you provide that.🤔👍👍👍
What about React with Drupal (headless) VS just using Drupal for everything. Is there an advantage to building all your client sites with React. Or utilizing both depending on client needs?
everyone is saying page loading but that can be ignored using ajax isnt it?

Yes there’s so reason you can’t upgrade it later. If you have an API built out already all you are doing from here is just rebuilding the UI.

You had me at Svelte. My rule of thumb for frameworks is this:
If your site/app needs reusable components, use a framework.
Also, if it makes your site needlessly more complicated, DON'T use it. I've seen lots of beginner devs use React for their portfolios even though it could've been done with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.
I heard ALOT of great things about svelte. I’ll have to give it a shot someday.
They keep saying it makes it easier but it looks like it mskes it harder
when you make own portfolio website why you do staff in python or JS instead of using simple wordpress, wordpress is easy and fast to do....
A portfolio in WordPress is fine, more complex applications require much more utility
Oooooo....I was just thinking to search this topic on google....
I purchased ur django course in udemy💪💪...
Hope you enjoy it!
Create more course in Udemy. React Course and more Django courses
ok, so basically its for complex websites
Its for websites that have a lot of frontend functionality.
Very long to see you.
great video
Thanks
Thanks.
Bro, no offense but you are wrong! I ask you a question, Can you do client-side validation WITHOUT Javascript? 😉
Not sure where I’m wrong.
In my experience, people pretend they know JavaScript when they actually don't.
I was looking tutorials to create personal web for myself using front-end framework, then i saw your video. so no necessary to use framework for my own personal web. thank you
Браво мен!
React is a library, not a framework...
because you don't know Svelte?
React for the money, Svelte for the heart.
