The sky's the limit!
- what's the bare minimum?
- which framework should I choose?
- what's next?

- JS basics
- ES.next (ES2016, ES6 ...)
- Modern CSS
- Flux architecture
What's the bare minimum?
- new language features
- spread operator

Which framework should I use?
- UI library, nothing else
- virtual DOM
- component oriented
- JSX
- wins the popularity contest, stable
React
Which framework should I use?
- true framework
- kind of forces TypeScript and RxJS
- steep learning curve
- dependency injection
- easy to read syntax
- size: AOT compiling, tree shaking
Angular 2
Which framework should I use?

- flexible
- not too popular (yet)

What's next?
Web assembly

- all the major players are pushing it
What's next?
Cross-platform solutions
- one codebase to rule them all
- Ionic, React Native, Nativescript, Electron ...
- widely used, not quite there yet
What was left out?
- TypeScript (Flow)
- task runner (Grunt, Gulp, Broccoli)
- bundlers (Webpack, Browserify)
- HTTP/2
