Truly Understanding React (TUR) - Ep2

So let's dive in on our story on truly understanding react.js library - Ep2.

First,

What is React?

React is an open-source JavaScript library that is used for building user interfaces based on UI components, created by Jordan Walke, who at that time working as a software engineer at Facebook, built an early prototype of React and called it "FaxJS". that was influenced by XHP, an HTML component library for PHP.

React.js was first deployed on Facebook's News Feed in 2011 and later on Instagram in 2012. In May 2013, React was announced to be an open-sourced project, at the JavaScript Conference (JSConf) in the United States(US).

React JS is also called simply to React or React.js.

It allows developers to create large web applications that can change data, even without reloading the page and can also be used with a combination of other JavaScript libraries or frameworks, such as Angular JS in MVC.

If your title is Truly Understanding React, then you are supposed to let people understand the React Concept truuuuly.... At least try to explain a bit of core concept of react like:

• Components
• Virtual DOMS
• JSX That would make more sense according to your Blog Title

Thanks Bro. I am taking it through like a story telling; demystifying components, virtual DOMS and JSX in relatable tales.

Your contribution is deeply appreciated, Sarvesh. Let's watch out for the next episode, Ep3.
