211: Why Learning React is Good For You as a Developer

In this episode Donn talks about why you need to learn React (or Flutter) - so you can truly understand the Unidirectional data flow pattern in a framework that was built for that purpose alone.

Working with other frameworks which bolt on a custom unidirectional data flow is often hard to understand. When you work with React and learn how it works, the concept of Unidirectional data flow starts to make much more sense as that is the default way to implement UI's in technologies like React (and Flutter).

This exposes you to the pattern and helps you understand it. In turn, this will help you become a better developer.
