Field Notes

Framework

Frameworks & libraries allow for easier website design and development by providing access to predetermined and “packaged” snippets of code that can be used without knowing the details of the core coding language (typically CSS or JavaScript in our case). These can expedite development after you learn the naming conventions and techniques within each library. Think of libraries as the SparkNotes section of an actual library: you get enough of the gist to talk somewhat intelligently about the matter.

The term “vanilla” [CSS or JS] means that no library or framework is being used.

Common libraries and frameworks are listed below. Infantree primarily uses jQuery and VueJS alongside vanilla CSS.
