## Step 2: Install code editor
To proceed, we need to install a code editor. If you already have a code editor, skip this step and move on to the next chapter.
We are free to choose any code editor we find comfortable working with. Some popular options include:
- Visual Studio Code - <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >https://code.visualstudio.com/</a>;
- Sublime Text - <a href="https://www.sublimetext.com/" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >https://www.sublimetext.com/</a>;
- WebStorm - <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/</a>.

Throughout this course, all examples will be demonstrated using Visual Studio Code. It's important to note that the choice of the editor doesn't significantly impact the content, but the external interface may differ.

### Steps to follow:
1. Choose a code editor;
2. Go to the website of the chosen code editor and download the installer for the operating system;
3. Run the installer and follow the installation instructions.

Do we need any specific software to proceed?

Learn to build dynamic, interactive user interfaces with React. Understand core concepts like JSX, the virtual DOM, and reusable component-based architecture. Apply styling techniques using inline styles, external CSS, and CSS modules for scalable design. Manage state and side effects efficiently with React Hooks and share data across components using Context.

Gain an understanding of the core principles of React. You'll learn about JSX (JavaScript XML), building reusable UI components, and rendering elements. Additionally, you'll explore the importance of data collection and conditional rendering in React applications. By the end of this section, you'll have a solid foundation of React's essential concepts, setting you up for success in the more advanced topics covered in the following sections.

Explore the various methods of adding styles to the React applications. You will learn how to apply styles to individual components, use dynamic styles, and maintain a scalable and maintainable styling approach in your projects. 

Powerful features in modern React development. Hooks revolutionize how we write functional components, providing a concise and intuitive way to manage state and perform side effects. Conversely, Context allows us to share data through the component tree without prop drilling. Combining hooks and Context enables efficient state management and simplified data sharing in React applications.


Step-by-step guide on how to start a real-world React project. From setting up your development environment to understanding project organization and critical tools, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to embark on your React journey.
