**A very short pros/cons of the 3 web frameworks(angular, react and vue)**
https://hackernoon.com/top-pros-and-cons-of-reactjs-angular-js-and-vuejs-f9d7ff31878b
In short:
- React-syntax is easy. But react is only a view layer.
- Angular is good for streaming and is 2-way data binding. But it's very complicated.
- Vue is small and easy to scaffold. Relatively young and flexibility comes with accidental complexity.

## Encounters

Recently heard of https://dev.to/ from Google Devs on YouTube.

Heard about https://storybook.js.org/ on dev.to, which is a UI development environment. But is it better than http://airbnb.io/react-sketchapp/

From my feed i stumbled upon https://www.discoverdev.io/ which is a currated list of tech. I tapped into their RSS and added to my feedly.com.

The book: High Performance Browser Networking (O'Reilly) as found on https://hpbn.co/

High-performance webcrawler in python that uses ninja-mode https://github.com/s0md3v/Photon

Extendable browser with built-in adblock: https://github.com/wexond/wexond 

## Books

I read about the architectural style of CQRS and how to implement it in my "Implementing DDD".

Also read about other styles like EDA.

Didn't get much more done as I was stopped and talked with two Mormons.
