New to dev.to. I am here for:

1) Cross-skill myself with new technologies and tools
2) Implement them in my project

Yes, I would like to get good in JS and NodeJS for test automation.

And I would like to learn React and master it for web development. Currently, I don't know anything about it.

Sounds good! Those are all great things to learn, and DEV is a great place to learn them :) Good luck! And let me know if you need any help with JS/React stuff :)

Thanks, Chris for personally welcoming me over here.

I would surely require your help to learn React. Could you guide me from where to start?

The react docs themselves are very good: reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html

There's also a great free video course on egghead that walks you through the basics of react: egghead.io/courses/the-beginner-s-...

Beyond that, I definitely just recommend trying things out and playing around. codesandbox.io is a great resource, because you can create a new "React" sandbox in one click - and you're off and going! Then you can mess around and change the source, and instantly see what happens in the browser preview.

Also, I have something new coming out soon too! But it's not quite all ready and up yet - but be watching out for it soon! 😉

Thanks so much. I will start learning step by step with the above links. I will also ask you questions if I get stuck anywhere. :)
