convention over configuration:
  less flexible,

diffrerent javascript frameworks:
  angular: made by google, support a few versions: 1,2,4,5,6
  knockout: older
  ember has a front-end component
  react: alot of buzz around it, complete reversal of what you know about the web - definitely get learning on it, but not the first one to start on
  vueJS; the one we will be learning in this class. pretty new, but light - doesn't hold alot of memory and loads into browswer fast

  some people feel like there shouldn't be a front-end framework at all
  don't discount just writing normal vanilla JS. form your own conventions.

  don't just call it 'Vue' - call it VueJS to avoid confusion

  MVC
  model - how you interact and associate with your data
  view - how you display information
  controller - houses your logic

2 way binding:
  interaction between where the data is stored and displayed - if you change one, you change the other.
