G'day. I've done a lot of 'back end' programming over the years but I've had very little to do with front-end interfaces suitable for phones and tablets. To this point responsive web design has largely passed me by.
I need to develop some 'web apps' - responsive single-page applications - and would appreciate any advice on the software that I should use. I've had a very quick look at Angular 2 but what I've seen seemed to be more 'back end' structural organisation (I've quite possibly missed any front-end stuff). What I'm most scared of :-) is the front end design and implementation details/fussiness. What I need is a framework/library which will offer the most assistance in setting up the single-page view, the funky menus that will expand/disappear depending on the size of the device, page transitions, layouts that will adjust to the device, things like that. I'm a desktop dinosaur and frankly I don't like the idea of micro-managing my view/layout the way I assume folks did in the dark old days when 'responsive' was first coined. I'm assuming these days there are views/templates/frameworks which will do a lot of that for me.
I've had a little bit of experience playing with Bootstrap but I would hope there are frameworks/libraries out there which will do more of the front-end responsive layout itself.
So, if anyone can recommend a suitable framework/library which does a lot of the view/layout work for an application, or documentation/tutorials guiding me in same, I'd appreciate the advice.
Cheers, Brad.
