Spoiler alert: You may get to read more than you came here to read for. It's not just 2 min read.
If you're here, then it most probably means that you reached after clicking a bunch of links. And from here, you may end up somewhere else to read something even more interesting😛. Well, that's what happened when I went to read the React docs.
A few days back, I wanted to start learning the basics of React library. I think there isn't a better place other than Getting Started to do that. There I found my first link React Tutorial: An Overview and Walkthrough By Tania Rascia. As mentioned in React docs, the concepts written in the article were detailed and beginner-friendly.
Scrolling further leads to Javascript overview from MDN. I thought let's take a quick look. It wasn't so quick, though😅. Because the first line itself has a link to The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language. The title itself is catchy. How can one not click that😄?
Well, it doesn't end there. At the end of that article, there were two more links.
- JavaScript objects can have private variables and private methods. Private variables and methods are achieved using Closures.
- JavaScript supports not only classical inheritance, but other code reuse patterns as well. He has explained inheritance through sugar methods to make it resemble classical inheritance.
We often use popular tools for development not knowing their creators. But through this, I got to know about Douglas Crockford, creator of JSLint and JSON.
For knowing Javascript in detail, apart from MDN, you can also refer to javascript.info
On reaching the 'Create a New React App section', I found a list of toolchains. I went to look at Gatsby.js's home page as I heard that name before. In the 'WHAT GATSBY USERS ARE SAYING' section, I saw that Codebrahma was hired by Serverless to do their new site. So, being curious by name, to Codebrahma blogs I went. Among recent, I got attracted to below two
- How to efficiently operate on large datasets using Transducers in JavaScript
- Processing Sequential JavaScript Promises using Functional Composition
After reading all these, I was back on track to learn more about React, finally😂. I hope you found some useful links along the way 😉. Feel free to share if you had a similar experience.
