Hello everyone,

As I said in previous newsletter, I'm currently reading some book to discover VueJS. If I understood correctly, the key concept of this type of JS framework is the use of reusable components. But today, the modern Web API has evolved to the point where you don’t necessarily need a framework anymore to create reusable components.

So I'm wondering, why spending time to learn VueJS if I can do the same with standard web components? And why framework/library like React, VueJS, Angular are so popular?

Is it worth the cost of learning a JS framework in 2019 or should you invest your time in learning standard web components? I don't have the answer to that question, but if any of you have an opinion on the subject, I'd be very interested to know it.

Is input type=”date” ready for use in accessible websites?

HTML5 introduced a series of new input types for use in forms. One of these – input type="date" – was intended to simplify the collection of dates, and to reduce user errors whilst doing so. So in the 10 years since the proposed introduction of this element, is it well supported in browsers? Post written by Graham Armfieldy
