What Is React and Why Use It?
Welcome to the world of React, a powerful JavaScript library for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces. We'll explore what React is and why it has become the go-to choice for modern web development.
What is React?
- React is a popular JavaScript library for building reusable, component-driven user interfaces for web pages or applications;
- React combines HTML with JavaScript functionality into its markup language called JSX. React also makes it easy to manage the data flow throughout the application;
- In this course, you'll learn how to create different React components, manage data in state props, work with the actual API representing the backend, and much more.
Prerequisites
Before we embark on this React journey, it's essential to have a solid understanding of web development fundamentals, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you're already comfortable with these technologies, you're in the right place to learn React.
If you're new to HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, we recommend taking the following courses to build a strong foundation:
- Ultimate HTML: Learn the essentials of HTML, the language that structures web content;
- CSS Fundamentals: Master CSS to style and layout web pages beautifully;
- Introduction to JavaScript: Gain proficiency in JavaScript, the language that adds interactivity to web applications. Since React is a JavaScript library, it plays a crucial role here.
