Why you should learn some AngularJS as a test developer
As a test developer, I love making tools, and I like to share my tools. It is always great to hear about how cool your tools are or how much their lives have been made easier.
Most of my tools are written in Python. Simply because it is quick to prototype and there are lots of libraries around Internet. But it has changed a bit after I started writing more JavaScript code in my current assignment. There are lots of new, exciting things happening around JS world now. As for me, I am really happy that I found AngularJS.
In the past it wasn’t easy to distribute my tools, one reason is that not everyone has Python on their machine. It is totally different with JS. If you have a browser, you can run my code. It can be remote on a server, it can also be in a local folder.
It is also super simple to have nice-looking UI in JS, because HTML/CSS is much easier to tweak. I am not saying I don’t like command-line interface, just sometimes it is more intuitive to have a cool graph. There are also many ready framework you can grab from the internet, including one of my favorite Twitter Bootstrap. Not to mention countless JS plugins to show off/manipulate your data.
With all that being said, if you are a craftsman in heart like me, you should definitely try out some JS framework yourself too. You will not be disappointed:)
