Frameworks: there is no need to reinvent the wheel

While it’s true that you need to learn the basics to be a good developer or web designer, that doesn’t mean you have to write every line of code from scratch for every page you make.

Today there are many tools that help us work more efficiently and develop projects in less time. Frameworks are among them.

A framework provides a structure, tools, and ready-made solutions for building a website or web application.

Imagine you’re a builder and need to put up a wall. You could build it from scratch, laying each brick, or you could use a prefabricated wall that’s ready to install. Both options can work, but the second lets you move faster.

In a similar way, a framework gives us a foundation to build on. That way, we can spend more time addressing the specific needs of each project.

That doesn’t mean we should use a framework for everything. What matters is knowing the basics and choosing the tools that best fit what we need to do.
