In this course, we’ll explore some of the basic concepts to build a modern JavaScript framework.
The compiler is needed to parse a template string written in a high-level language and to generate an abstract syntax tree (AST). On the other hand, the transformer generates a virtual DOM tree from the AST.
After that, a diffingDiffing is the process of comparing two structures. The first is the target representation of the DOM tree and the second is the actual state. process is introduced to ensure that the virtual DOM and the real DOM are in phase.

What to expect?

This mini course offers the first steps of building a minimal JavaScript framework. We’ll use some examples and code samples throughout the course to see how things work and map the theoretical knowledge into a practical application.
