Introduction To React

🚀 Day 1 of #100DaysOfReactJS

Today, I took my first steps into React!
I explored how React works under the hood, learned how to set up the React environment, and got introduced to React components.

💡 What is React?
React is a free and open-source JavaScript library designed specifically for building user interfaces.

💡 What are Components?
Components in React are simply JavaScript functions that return JSX — a syntax extension that allows us to write HTML-like code inside JavaScript. Components make it easy to break down a UI into reusable pieces.

✨ What I accomplished today:
I successfully rendered my very first React component in the browser — a huge milestone in my journey!

Each day, I’ll be sharing updates here on what I’ve learned so far as I continue this #100DaysOfReactJS challenge.

I’m open to discussions, tips, and corrections — so if you’ve been on this journey before or know React well, feel free to drop your thoughts. I’m eager to learn more! 🙌
