As a front end developer, knowing the most commonly used languages is paramount to the development of a website. But at times it can be daunting to take the challenge of learning a new language and implementing it the working environment. Throughout my journey of studying and implementing javascript, I sometimes questions whether it’s necessary to write 10, 15 30 or more lines of code to create and run a particular function. I do understand the issue of seperating content from presentation and behaviour but sometimes it is just unnecessary to go through all that effort to write lines of code to create a working function, i.e. opening external links in a new window.
Previously this was supported by the TARGET_BLANK html which is deprecated and less used but what i think is needed to is to make it easier to write javascript code to make functions work, maybe an upgrade in javascript code? Maybe I’m just winging but I’m sure beginners as well as the more experienced may ask themselves this very question and wish that easier methods were available. In the meantime I am going to continue learning.
