Adds "Why Web Components" article #60 #247

Closed zenorocha closed 9 years ago

zenorocha commented 9 years ago

Last couple months, @agektmr created a series of introductory articles about each spec. Although those articles were awesome by themselves, we're still missing a primer #60 that introduces developers to the high-level concepts of this Web Components umbrella... specially now that the Web Components Explainer is gone.

This is a proposal to help with that.

I'm missing some kind of conclusion after the "Reusability" bullet but I'm not sure exactly what to add. Any ideas @addyosmani? Feel free to pull the branch and add anything.

When talking to @nevraeka, he made a good point about saying that spec's descriptions are superficial.

I simplified that on purpose so we could help beginners to understand it. I linked @agektmr's introductory articles twice in order for people to get more information about each spec.

Let me know if you have suggestions to make it more descriptive without compromising beginner's understanding.

Just added the following conclusion:

That means we can finally fill any gaps in the platform in a meaningful way. Which also opens an opportunity for a less fragmented ecosystem, where components can truly interoperate with each other.

Good to go?

@zenorocha Sorry I can't help you much now being busy on other stuff, but here's a video I have done in the past which I think explains overview of Web Components somewhat well. Please consider embedding it if you find it useful.

Thanks for the reminder @agektmr! Just added a link to that video.
