Mainly explored the state structures and the entire 'State as a Snapshot' concept and where it really stems from. Definitely can tell that I understand much more about the way React handles rendering. </p> <p>The majority of my practice came from the React Docs themselves - I'm simply in love with the way they're written, and the challenges provided in the end of each section are just golden.</p> <p>Will keep updating daily!
