I know HTML is a tutorial course but why is haml not taught / tutored here.

Question

HAML is used with C, C#, C++, Ruby, and yes Python yet there is nothing to my knowledge tutoring haml - the alternative to HTML ~

HTML abstraction markup language

Answer 3

Roman very truth be the more you know and can utilize the more valuable you are to the company you work for now and in the future...
If you could cut out hundreds if not thousands of lines of excessive code and save a company or companies hundreds if not millions in programming related cost wouldn't it be worth it at least having that option ~

Answer 5

Roman look at the reference and follow the links to and through github as well for a better understanding...

Answer 6

To my knowledge HAML like EJS, Handlebars or PUG(JADE) are all template markup abstractions. They allow logic to be coupled together for easy user interface creations. They were and are still popular though libraries like React and Vue do much better job and are easily reasoned about due to their component based architecture.

if you don't use libraries like react or vue, then template markup abstractions can help ease up and activate code reuse.

finally, html is the language and they all just make it better and easier writing it, but they don't replace html. So my advice get good or better at html before you use those to speed up your work.

Sravya please look at the thread header where it says reference and click on the link ~

Answer 9

We talk about JavaScript, JAVA, and jquery but when it comes to HTML that seems to be where it stops...
By introducing this I hope it may create some sort of interest to grow on...

Answer 10

Alexander Santos you brought up a genuine fact of using HAML and not even realizing it✔
So many of us use it and don't even realize it✔ yet were we ever taught how to use it and what the features of it is or was... Is it really only a client side or both similar to PHP and as you pointed out ~

Answer 11

Is there someone that can make the lesson ?

Answer 12

Todd Christie HTML has been around for ages while HAML is newer shorter and more universally language to language compatible

Answer 13

HAML? What is that?

Answer 14

I were using HAML and didn't even know xD on JSP, ASP.NET

Answer 15

Hm... I've never heard about HAML before. I'm not sure this should be studied along with studying HTML though, it seems this is more like utility.

Answer 16

BroFarOps , I did already =) At the moment I find it more difficult to use compared to simple replace in my tasks, but who knows, maybe I'll find it useful some other time! It always good to know that something exist! Thx for mentioning that, @Bro!

Answer 17

BroFarOps , I totally agree!

Answer 18

Ben Bright that was one of the best answers thus far explaining HAML ~ have you used it yourself in practice / application experience or just what you read ?
It sounds more textbook but let us know if you have further insight...

Answer 19

Ben Bright , I have used both HAML & EJS and yes they are very similar syntax wise... and I have used HAML with Node.js ~ as well as EJS with Node.js
You expressed yourself as if very familiar experience wise ~

Answer 20

okay...thnkuuBroFarOps
