Easy to learn front end development

Question

I'm a sysadmin who has moved into DevOps over the years. As such I've written tons of Bash, Python, and PowerShell scripts. I've got a couple of product ideas, and I can whip up a serviceable backend with the skills I have. Where I get stuck is on the front end.Last year I started looking into React as it seems popular. However the learning curve is too steep and for my needs is like killing a rabbit with a howitzer.I'm looking for something, where I can create a few editable tables and a few forms. Nothing too fancy, as I'm just focused on creating a demo of my ideas to show to potential cofounders.Can anyone suggest a front end framework that is straight forward to pick up? It would also be nice if there is a book on it in O'Reilly books online as I have a subscription.

Please look at [HTMX](https://htmx.org/). It uses just plain old HTML and might work for you. I have had success with it in creating a Airtable like table.

Not sure about O&rsquo;Reilly but svelte is very nice and similar to plain HTML/CSS/JS.Elm is also a fun but it can take you for a loop if you are not that familiar with functional programming.
