Different UI/Frameworks
Different UI/Frameworks
For a beginner basically in JavaScript, does anyone have a best option to start with? I've been looking at a few, bootstrap, W2ui, and a jqueryui one as well. I have no idea which would be the best for a beginner?

Re: Different UI/Frameworks
Well, I've been searching for 100 years trying to find how to do javascript for popup windows and such. The basic things you could use in a game. I figured a framework or something might be a good idea to download and look at the code. I learn best when I can see the actual code and learn myself by error than to watch a video to be honest. I figured it would put many of the options at a click away instead of spending HOURS of research online searching google lol.... Just curious is all.Jackolantern wrote:What are you wanting to build with it?
Re: Different UI/Frameworks
Bootstrap is great, and very easy to pickup. Probably the easiest in fact. jQuery UI is not really a full UI framework, so much as a collection of supplemental features. The last time I messed with it was a long time ago, but at the time it was very heavy for what it did - almost all of which you can get as part of bootstrap.
Foundation is absolutely amazing if you aren't opposed to SASS, but it comes with a slightly higher learning curve IMO.
My recommendation would have to go to Bootstrap.
