Astro JS is here to stay

[@astrodotbuild]

This is Awesome!! Thank you for this amazing video 💚💚👩‍🚀👩‍🚀👊👊

[@awesome-coding]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zhav3d]

Recently came across Astro, and it's been one of the best experiences as an intimidated beginner!

[@awesome-coding]

Yep - I can see how it's easy to pick it up regardless of the experience. All in all there aren't many complex concepts to grasp, and their documentation is spot on. Such a simple tool, yet so powerful 😩

[@arsalanshaikh3763]

Thanks a lot for this detailed tutorial, it covers a lot of ASTRO features. Thanks for the hard work

[@awesome-coding]

@Arsalan Shaikh Thank's for the nice words! I'm glad you found it useful!

[@crushfire2004]

So we are running full circle by adopting MPA (like in old days PHP), using progressive enhancement js, instead of full blown app in js. Seems like an old approach with newer tech. What's next? Monolith becomes the new standard and people move back from microservice?

[@awesome-coding]

Yep - We are back on being excited about MPAs! Also, in some circles the monolith is still the king - robertorodes.com/the-blog/the-majestic-monolith-demystified/. I'm also in this category here, and you really need to come with some good arguments and long term projections to justify going the micro services way.

@trojan606 - yep, that's my next video

[@himabimdimwim]

Awesome video! Useful demonstration too!

[@awesome-coding]

@Gray Thanks! I am glad you liked it!

[@mastermind5806]

excellent demo thank you

[@awesome-coding]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@WebDevEducation]

Haha I feel the same way about TypeScript, I absolutely love it but I know a lot of devs still aren't so keen on it so most of my tutorials I'm still just using JavaScript 😆

[@awesome-coding]

Fair enough!

[@alinghinea98]

Quite interesting 🤔and nice presentation tbh, good job👍

[@awesome-coding]

Thank you so much 😀

[@0xPanda1]

Awesome

[@mohamed1208]

I didn't catch that... What's so controversial of using TypeScript? Not sure If it's just me but I thought TS was liked

[@awesome-coding]

You should check some of the comments on my other videos 😅 I guess people think that Vanilla JS, or simply using JSDoc is more than enough, and that TS is overkill.

[@Kanexxable]

Lol lol lol

[@dawa5980]

Its one thing to be inspired by fireship, its another thing just to release a video about the same topic everytime firebase releases one! You can do better if you find your own way, or at least cover something that is not covered there. Best of luck and wishes 💠 ... I still value the effort you put to produce the video 👍

[@awesome-coding]

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. Fireship is a big influence because I find this fast paced style usefull for me as well. Coincidentally it looks like this format attracts the most views as well.🥲 I’m still new to making YT videos, and I’m working towards finding a more unique style, but that takes time. Thanks again!

[@dawa5980]

@@awesome-coding Just subbed, looking forward to your new content.

[@awesome-coding]

@@dawa5980 Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'll do my best to not disappoint!

We need less JavaScript frameworks, not more! 🤯

[@awesome-coding]

Hey, @Alex Chugaev! I completely agree. Weirdly enough, I believe Astro has the potential to unify the frontend space, and take us into a new direction where at least the basic frontend stack is a standard.

[@alex_chugaev]

@@awesome-coding this is the root cause of JavaScript zoo. Every framework author believes his framework will replace all the rest. It would be cool if existing frameworks mutated more often. I mean, take Angular or Vue. It would be cool if existing frameworks adopted modern approaches quicker.

[@awesome-coding]

@Alex Chugaev I get what you are saying, but, in the same time, because of this "diversity" we got to this point where the JS space offers production ready tools for the entire stack. I remember back in 2010 when Angular JS was released. It felt like nothing will top that. However, with each iteration, and each new framework we got closer to this point where you can basically build SPAs or MPAs which are faster than ever in JS. During the years I experienced JS fatigue multiple times, but, looking at things objectively, the core concepts are pretty much shared by all frameworks at this point. It's a rare occasion when somebody is really innovating in the space, and I feel like Astro is in this category. As a funny side note I come from a very formal Spring + Java background, and all we did for years was building "boring" MPAs with some basic JS sprinkled on top. Then SPAs became the norm, and everybody got excited about that. A few years passed, and now people are excited again about MPAs 😂 So I just made my peace that this is a never ending cycle.

[@alex_chugaev]

@@awesome-coding agree, that’s how a better software born

[@IainSimmons]

@@alex_chugaev Vue made a lot of changes from v2 to v3 and it was a huge dividing factor amongst the Vue community. I'm not sure that's always an option for the bigger frameworks. And React is so huge now that they need to be extremely careful about any breaking changes. That means they progress even slower (it took years to develop some of the React 18 features that other frameworks have had for a long time or from the start). If you don't want to hear about new frameworks, just keep on scrolling through. A large part of the web will continue to use the same tried and tested technologies, and they aren't going anywhere soon. It's just exciting for a lot of people who are vocal on social media. And I guess no one in this space wants to just see videos about new WordPress plugins and themes. 😅

While I like presentations, which come to the point and do not waste my time on unclarified statemenst, the speed of talk in this one made me to stop watching it.

[@awesome-coding]

I'm sad to hear you stopped watching, but I want to thank you for your feedback! I am trying to find a balance between "short and concise" and "too difficult to follow". Apparently I'm still failing at this..

[@smibssmibs]

@@awesome-coding What a great reaction. The content looks really great - well prepared, a lot of valuable information, nicely readable and graphically appealing. It is definetely concise. Just adjust the pace. Give listeners the time to say "Aha", "Great", "Really? This is possible?", "Wow". Problem would be, if there would be no reasons to react this way due to empty content wasting time. As soon as there are reasons for these reactions - give them the time to happen and consider that time and reactions part of your valuable presentation, it is like giving your friend the time to digest the great story you are telling him piece by piece. You are almost there.

[@awesome-coding]

@Jan Vlčinský Thank you again for your time and feedback! You really helped me to see this from a different perspective - considering reaction times really makes a lot of sense!
