Good day)

IMHO, one of the unpleasant features of modern programming compared to the happy 90s is a giant zoo of all kinds of plug-ins, modules and extensions to everything you can. When on the Web, sometimes you need not so much code to write as to suffer with the choice of a plugin. How to learn to competently and quickly navigate in all the wild variety of this "happiness" to jQuery, Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal? It’s clear that all plugins are impossible to know, unlike programming languages ​​themselves :)

How do you find a way out of this difficulty?

Closed due to the fact that it is necessary to reformulate the question so that it was possible to give an objectively correct answer by the participants of D-side , zRrr , VenZell , aleksandr barakin , user194374 10 Jun '16 at 9:37 .

The question gives rise to endless debates and discussions based not on knowledge, but on opinions. To get an answer, rephrase your question so that it can be given an unambiguously correct answer, or delete the question altogether. If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

  • The solution is simple - do not get into this ge. But if they got there, then there really isn't so much choice. If in the 90s only turbo-pascacal was known, you did not study MFC for microsoftware. So here, having contacted drupal, you will never need Wordpress. - Sergey
  • Then it turns out that I need to rebuild my approach to freelancing somehow so as not to run up from any delayed client for more than 1 client task on the Full Stack with the web "enikeyem" and the wild zoo CMS. But in the Russian segment, does “uniformly-themed” freelancing occur at all (in order to sit steadily within the framework of say Wordpress + PHP + JS), or is it better to navigate to the western market as soon as possible (which is still scary because of the porridge in the head that the web enikey last 3 years)? I took customers with fl.ru usually, everyone eventually wants an enikeyschik. - NDanilov2015
  • By the way, if it is possible, could you tell me how someone handles the problem of “spraying on enikey”? - NDanilov2015

How to learn to correctly navigate the zoo plug-ins and modules on the web (to jQuery and different CMS)?

With the help of Google.

I do not use CMS and frameworks.

    I support. If possible, it is better to do without third-party libraries and plug-ins. As for jquery, today there are a lot of newbies after its use, it can’t even do a simple task, executable in a couple of lines in javascript - Mr. Black
  • A couple of lines, of course, on bare javascript is much simpler, but if a serious interactive application is required, then a normal person cannot cope without frameworks. While writing the text of the program, the second coming will come, he will not have time to correct the mistakes. - Sergey

    @Sergey I think the opposite is true. If you need something serious - frameworks are useless. They are good for solving typical problems. - user208916

    @Sergey, they will help you quickly deploy the code. But when it comes to the question of creating something truly individual, you always come across the fact that the developer is essentially bound by the requirements and philosophy of the framework. And it is rare to find such a product to link easily enough. That is, if you want to create a masterpiece and / or maintain without restrictions - you should write everything yourself. - user207618

    @Other well, I probably work in another area. I do not design, do not create masterpieces, but simple programs for storing data into a computer database. Changed the coloring - already a masterpiece. And so on every day, on each form, it is necessary that there were input fields of different types, numbers, calendars, tables, etc. To change in one element, immediately changed the other. All sorts of dialogue and so forth. Even with frameworks, this is much more complicated than in delphi, wpf, and more run-down desktop desktop frameworks. Well, on vanila javascript is only for pervert maniacs. - Sergey
