Quickie... :D
I'm competent at back end (in Java) but need to whip up a Web front end. Aim is a simple but beautiful UI for admin settings and basic stuff like that, but might extend to some visuals for graphs etc.

Back end already exposes a RESTful API (JAX-RS).

Question is, should I be looking into serverlets and Javascript? I've used Bootstrap a little (and will probably use this)?

Given that there appears to be about a million front end frameworks, where would you suggest I head given the use case above?

I had the same problem, vuejs was simple enough to use

@sharktits thanks buddy. Should I be thinking about my page just calling the API end points I already have, or should I be using serverlets do you think?

@nzeetee honestly, calling endpoints is way simpler if you use a good frontend template engine

I've used Vue in a big project recently and it's quite flexible, you can really get it to work however you want. Would recommend.

Thanks. Now, stupid question (showing I don't understand what makes up a front end 'stack') would I still look to use bootstrap with these for styling?
