Hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing! Coming directly over from traversing the Dom with JavaScript. This seems amazing.

traversing the DOM was so bad IMO because he kept adding JavaScript code to the same js file and it was so hard to follow what was going on... should have deleted all the code and made a brand new, BLANK slate every time there was a new concept (showing /hiding list, adding , removing elements, moving up, moving down elements etc..).

Combining all that scribble text on one file was absolutely horrid.

They shouldn't have given my boy Guil the dry DOM section or maybe im slightly bias since we almost share the exact same name :-)

jQuery is on the way out. In my 20+ years of experience, it's become quite antiquated and causes serious issues when building applications that need to be cleaner and faster. I believe, like many other folks, that Vue.js will eventually be it's replacement - which is soon to be a Treehouse Course this month (June, 2018.)

Very good to know! I'll be sure to learn that next.
