    Hello,
    I know, I'm a newbie on this forum, but it seems like JavaScript forum are missing some opportunities here. I see only JQuery sub-forum here. And actually, this framework is not used much nowadays. Right now most professionals use React, Angular, Aurelia frameworks and TypeScript language for web app development. I suggest to update this forum and add some new sub-forums for these frameworks. Right now I don't know where exactly should I create threads related to NodeJS or Angular, React, TypeScript, because these sub-forums does not exist.
     
    Solved! View solution.

    As they're javascript those threads belong in the javascript section. When we get enough people discussing those libraries we'll split them out into their own sections.

    So you are saying that any topic related to TypeScript or NodeJS I should be created in JavaScript section? I'm just concerned a bit, about posting it all in the same place.

    Ok then. I will try to post some tutorials on MEAN stack development. I haven't found any threads here discussing about it.

    Tutorials generally don't belong in a discussion forum and if they are cut and paste from other sites (even if they're your own) they will be removed.

    Digitalpoint is not an article directory.

    I was going to write my own code tutorials and examples to teach some new stuff. But if that's not permitted here, then I'm not going to do that :/

    Uh, you sure about that? I think your numbers might be wrong. lol

    Global jQuery usage at 16.5%: https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/jQuery
    Global Angular usage at 0.1%: https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/Angular-JS
    Global React usage at <0.1%: https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/React
    Global Aurelia usage at <0.1%: https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/Aurelia

    In fact, jQuery is by far the most used JavaScript library of any type: https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript

    Of course JQuery usage in web is quite high, because for a long time there was no other framework that could replace it. And some people that only know JQuery will stick to it, because they are afraid of change. But right now it's not used as much for new complex project development, especially if you are considering to make high performance web applications. I've been using jquery for about 7 years and I can tell that code on huge project looks terrible and gives you a headache to add or update features.

    I'm not saying it's the best, only that you saying it's "not used much" is wrong. :)

    Yeah, my bad. I basically was talking more about the usage in progressive web app development. Not about simple web pages.
    Edit: BTW, those statistics are based on by what is used in all current web sites, not what developers right now are using to create new stuff.

    I'm not sure the internet marketers who use this forum are much into "progressive web app development" - they have limited content and rarely venture into anything more complicated than a shopping cart.

    It's a new thing and internet is changing fast. In some time this won't be seen so complicated as it is right now, because marketers will also need to adapt.

    Quite possibly, in the meantime the subforums are demand driven.

    Also, there has always been alternatives to jQuery. The most popular one was probably MooTools. Personally I found it harder to work with, so I went the route of jQuery. However, Angular, React, Node et al is NOT the same thing as jQuery. jQuery is a replacement for regular javascript. It provides plugins and a different way of accessing the DOM, but is really just functionality built on top of regular javascript. React, Angular, and Node are completely different beasts, which do a lot more than jQuery does.

    Yeah, I know what is the difference between them all. One JS forum section cannot cover it. That's why I asked about sub-forums in a first place :)

    Clearly it can, because it is doing so at the moment. I wonder if digitalpoint is a bit more marketing oriented than what you are looking for? Maybe stackexchange is more your thing? or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/angular

    Differs from the others, node.js is a server-side javascript.
    Right?

    That's not true. You can do way more stuff than just build server-side on NodeJs. For example - you can build full desktop applications.

    Node.js is a webserver - it can be used for a lot of things, but you still need to have the server running on your computer to utilize the functionality - unless they've done something new lately.
