JSFoo: round the year submissions

What is that one thing because of which a JS framework just clicks for you? It’s ability to handle changes in states and models, and taking care of the UI updates. Let’s take a brief tour of how change detection has been happening over the years - from the infancy of JavaScript to the modern hipster frameworks - and while we do that let’s take a close look at how the top 3 (unofficial!) JS frameworks - React, Vue, and Angular - do the dirty work for you and update UI so quickly.

Outline
