I used to work on both front-end and back-end web development, using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various back-end technologies including databases for dynamic sites. However, I transitioned into data engineering and now feel a bit out of touch with modern frameworks like Angular and React. Is the process of web development still pretty similar to what it once was? It seems like it's changed a lot. Are these newer technologies worth learning? If I wanted to create websites for businesses that require back-end or database integration, what frameworks or tools offer a good mix of reliability and ease of use, and are likely to be relevant for a while?

Web front-end frameworks differ quite a bit in style and syntax, but they all basically provide data binding. This means you can connect a variable to something on your web page, and when that variable changes, the page updates automatically. They also offer reusable components, which makes your development time much shorter. Honestly, you'd really benefit from learning at least one of these frameworks—they can save you a lot of hassle! The choice of which one to dive into really depends on your personal preference.
Thank you! Given what you've shared, what specific applications or frameworks would you recommend trying out?
