Starting with React

If you are just beginning with react. Below are a few things to keep in mind as you are about to embark on a long road.

Need to know

Some fundamentals need to be very clear:

  1. HTML
  2. CSS
  3. Javascript

For beginners ie who are new to programming, you might find React a little overwhelming as it comes with a lot of its concepts and flows. Those from web programming backgrounds too need good practice to understand them.

You should be clear with your goal as to why you want to study react. Only because it's hot in the market or you want to go on the web development path much ahead.

As React is purely dependent on Javascript, it has some benefits over other technologies. React is not a language or framework. It is a library, unlike Angular which is a complete ecosystem altogether.

React vs Angular

  1. Angular is a complete ecosystem, a framework. Whereas React is a library.
  2. React is thus easy to learn as it depends mainly on Javascript. Where as to start your career in Angular you need to understand many deep concepts required to implement Angular.

There are a few benefits to React. React native is used as a hybrid technology which can generate code for Web, Android and Apple from a single code base. I am eager to get a grasp on it.
