Full Stack Development with JHipster

Client-side technologies

The role of client-side technologies in full-stack development has grown from just using JavaScript for client-side validations, to writing full-blown, single page applications using client-side MVVM frameworks. The frameworks and toolchains used have become complex and overwhelming for developers who are new to the client-side landscape. Fortunately for us, JHipster provides support for most of the following, widely used, client-side technologies. Let us take a brief look and get familiar with the important tools and technologies that we will use. No need to worry if it is overwhelming, we will take a deeper look at some of the more important ones during the course of the book.
