Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Very good point! I have mixed feelings about this. To be honest with you, I spent the last 4 months or more learning the basics of web developments. I have a reasonable amount of professional programming experience (unrelated to the web) and I already had some knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS fundamentals, so I spent most of that time on a selection of backend and frontend frameworks. On the backend, I initially chose Django, then tried Phoenix and decided to stick with it. On the frontend, I mostly spent time with Vue (also tried a bit of React), but I realised that I may not actually need it and I really liked the idea of avoiding SPA complexities. While the time I spent may not seem like a lot, I got to the point where I felt like I understood the basics but I was still not at all confident applying them. I thought that to get over this barrier I should just start applying them and even if I screw up my first project then I’ll just start again. I’m still not sure what is the best approach to learn web technologies (or anything else for that matter), but I got a little fatigued from doing tutorials for months. I feel that even if I get burnt by making a bad choice early on in my project, I will still learn a lot from it and that’s the entire point of the whole exercise.
I overviewed the Pragmatic Studio course on LiveView and I thought it was great, but based on what I can recall, the course goes all-in with LiveView and in this thread, I wanted to compare the LiveView-centric approach with alternatives (e.g. integrating LiveView with traditional controllers or just using sockets).
Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this matter
