This document discusses the history and basics of framework programming. It explains that in the 1990s, each programming language had its own syntax. As data started being shared across computers, protocols were needed to establish communication standards, similar to cultural norms for interacting with strangers. The rise of the internet created demand for shared interface tools like browsers and protocols like HTTP. Frameworks later emerged to optimize software development for various domains by providing standardized modules and processes, saving developer time compared to building everything from scratch. Popular current frameworks include React, NodeJS, and Angular.
