prompter: I want to get into Frontend Web developement. Which stack would you recommend to get started with?

assistant: Sure thing, here are some of the most popular front-end stacks people start out in terms of ease of use and scalability:

- React.js with Redux: React is a widely used and well-documented library, making it easy to learn and use, even for developers new to front-end development. It is also highly scalable and has a large community of developers, making it a popular choice for building large-scale applications.

- Vue.js with Vuex: Vue.js is known for its simplicity and ease of use. It is a good choice for small-scale or single-page applications, and it can be easily scaled as the project grows.

- Angular.js with RxJS: Angular is a full-featured framework that can handle complex applications, but it has a steeper learning curve compared to React or Vue.js. It is highly scalable and has a large community of developers.

In conclusion, React.js with Redux and Vue.js with Vuex are both good options for developers looking for an easy-to-learn front-end stack that can be easily scaled in the future. Angular.js with RxJS is a more complex but highly scalable option for building large-scale applications.

prompter: Where can I learn more about React and Redux?

assistant: If you are interested in getting into front-end web development, a popular and beginner-friendly stack to start with is the "MEAN" stack, which stands for:

    MongoDB (database)
    Express (back-end framework)
    Angular (front-end framework)
    Node.js (back-end runtime environment)

Alternatively, you could also start with a "MERN" stack, which is similar to the MEAN stack, but with React (front-end library) instead of Angular.

Another popular front-end development stack is the "LAMP" stack, which stands for:

    Linux (operating system)
    Apache (web server)
    MySQL (database)
    PHP (back-end language)

Both MEAN/MERN and LAMP stacks are widely used, have large communities, and offer a lot of resources for learning and development. It's up to you to choose which stack best fits your learning style, goals, and preferences.

prompter: Thanks, I'll look into them. What IDE should I choose, though?

assistant: Some popular IDE's for front end web development are:

- VS Code: Currently one of the most popular Integrated Development Environments. Thanks to its extension system other users and companies can publish extensions to make the IDE more suited for developing a front end framework by adding better integration, intellisense, syntax highlighting, for non-natively supported languages, and much more to make front end web development a more fluent experience for experienced and new programmers. The underlying systems are also open source (a fully open source version of VS code is known as VScodium if the open source nature of a IDE matters to you). 

- Webstorm (and other similar IDEs) by JetBrains is a feature rich java script development environment for front end web development. This is a paid IDE and closed source, but has a better out of the box experience compared to other IDEs.   

- NeoVim (and preset neovims like AstroVim) is a completely community built opensource IDE that is a fork of the original Vim IDE that is per-installed on most Linux systems. Similar to vs code NeoVim has an extensive extensions library for front end web development. NeoVim and other Vim IDEs are hard to learn for beginners, as they use primarily keyboard shortcuts for navigation and interactions. This can allow some developers to be much faster at development then in other IDEs, but there is a large learning curve so caution is advised. 

This is not an exhaustive list, and there are other IDEs out there that are also suited for front end web development, or can be made to be suited through extensions. These are just some of the more popular ones out there.

assistant: For a front-end web development IDE (Integrated Development Environment), some popular options include:

Visual Studio Code: A free, open-source code editor with a large library of plugins and extensions.

Atom: A free and customizable text editor, built by GitHub.

Sublime Text: A fast and lightweight code editor, with a strong community of users and a vast library of plugins.

Brackets: An open-source code editor specifically designed for front-end development, with a live preview feature.

Ultimately, the best IDE for you will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your projects. You can try out several options and see which one works best for you.

assistant: Visual Studio Code is widely used in front-end web development, due to the size of its plugin ecosystem and its built-in TypeScript language features. Developers also commonly use the IntelliJ lineup of IDEs from JetBrain.

assistant: Choosing an IDE (integrated development environment) is important to developers, especially for new learners. IDEs may vary in appearance, supported programming languages, functions, capabilities, and ease of learning. 
For new learners of frontend web development, simple IDEs with a user-friendly interface would be more helpful. For example, you may choose to use Microsoft Visual Studio Code. It has a user-friendly interface, fast compilation speed, code color syntaxing, a virtual browser for visualisation, a project file management system, and a plethora of different add-ons that can be used to extend its functionality. This IDE is capable of supporting users from the simplest tasks to the most complex problems and can help users throughout the journey of learning frontend web development. More importantly, there are plenty of tutorials available online for new users to learn and get used to the environment. Thus, Visual Studio Code would be a great option for new learners.

Alternative options could be:
1. Atom, an IDE developed by github
2. Sublime Text 3
3. IntelliJ IDEA
4. Webstorm (specifically for javascript)
5. CodeSandbox (cloud development platform)
etc

prompter: Which FOSS IDE would you recommend?

assistant: When first getting into web enlargement, the finest stack for embarkation is the MERN, which stands for MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js. MongoDB is a NoSQL data depository that holds data in simulacra, analogous to entities in JavaScript. Express is an application podium for Node.js that abridges working with itineraries and API calls. React is a frontend JavaScript library for forming user interfaces and Node.js is a JavaScript runtime situation that authorizes you to conduct JavaScript code alfresco the browser.
The MERN stack allows one to fabricate active web applications with downright CRUD capabilities and a potent backend. React enables the production of interactive user savors, and MongoDB makes creating and preserving a database plain. Express gives your code composition and renders it effortless to work with routes and API endpoints, while Node.js authorizes you to manage your JavaScript code outside the browser.
To start with the MERN stack, you should in the first place comprehend the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After comprehending these technologies, you can start learning React and Node.js. When you grasp the fundamentals of React and Node.js, you can move on to erudition Express and MongoDB.
It may take some time to comprehend all four constituents of the MERN stack, but with devotion and exercise you can become an apt full-stack developer in no time.

prompter: I have heard that some people consider the MERN stack fairly outdated now, what if by the time I learn them these skills are obsolete?
