It's never too late, if you are a js dev, you must one day, work on a react project.
Like Vue or angular.
Learning the 3 let you choose which one you prefer ;) and learn you a lot of things about VanillaJS
Thanks Thierry ✌️ . I was just avoiding learning react but I will not do that anymore.
i agree with you, better we learn about vanilla js before using library/framework.because, if you had basic about vanillajs its easy to you understand why you using framework.
React is not everything.
Is you can program anything will be a problem.
React is still very prevalent in the business world, so if you want to learn something that gets you employed, it's a sensible choice.
Still, react suffers from a few unfortunate design decisions. To their credit, the react maintainers work hard to improve their library while remaining backwards compatible. That gives some other frameworks an edge over react, which is only partially compensated by a thriving ecosystem.
Nah bro. You’re never late to learn for anything. Learning can be done anywhere anytime. And just to mention React is an amazing app developing framework so it’s a really good place to start mastering a fundamental framework of the development community. So nope. You’re just in time.
It's never too late to start, personally if you already master js you can start learning reactJS it's a very good library and highly demanded currently I recommend it because they send me messages on linkedin every day for react developer positions then you could learn nextJS it's also very defendant.
Thanks for your advice. I'll start to learn react and then next.js . Afterall both of them based on JavaScript only so it'll not be that hard I guess.
No it's not too late. I myself am learning how to code and have yet to learn about ReactJS. Once I have the fundamentals down of JavaScript, then I will learn about React.
Learning to code also! React and now Next js. I really dig the component driven approach, it's a nice easy mental model to get into. Been looking at Storybook as well to power up the development/design side of things.
If you want to do VDOM stuff, make money with it and focus on one Toolkit only, then learn React. It has it's downsides, but it's the leader in use and ecosystem and will only become obsolete when VDOM libraries disappear alltogether. ... Which actually might start happening soon.
If you want to skip VDOM solutions for the render side of things, use JS template literals with libraries such as lit or HyperHTML. Those use the newest browser features and don't need VDOM anymore and thus are notably faster and leaner. But they're not all that popular just yet and may find replacement by completely native webcomponent features. They also may lack extended integration with other features such as routing or extended state handling.
Why would it be late? React from my point of view is easier to learn now than a couple of years ago due to the introduction of hooks.
It takes time to get good at it though. I would say about a year. It may seem easy at the beggining but as you do more stuff you start to discover how little you actually know.
More than anything React is fun, intuitive and by far my favorite front-end library. I would recommend it to any developer.
I’ve been a Vue dev for 4+ years. It’s just how my brain works now. I recently started working with React. Sure, there are things in React that I was like, “what?!”, but overall it’s like eating a different flavor of ice cream. I love ice cream either way. It was surprisingly easy to pick up on things, enough that I decided to go rogue after reading a little bit of documentation. Have fun, break stuff, learn and progress… it’s the dev way! 😅
Hope this answers the question:

This is the new version of Angular:

You're right sorry.
Anyway there's no much difference as you can see, React is still way above that.
Angular2 + Vue together group less than the half of the React usage.
like I am good at JS and Angular 2+ framework . And I wanna explore the Web3 projects , but web3 projects are build upon mostly react and next.js . That's why I'm having some little confusion .
Why? What has been stopping you? I think this is an important question.
Whatever I may personally think of "web3" I dare say React isn't a key component of it. Those projects use it because it's currently a popular and prevalent skill set so the choice of React is purely incidental.
Learning React and Next.js isn't going to give you the key to understanding "web3"—you will simply become more familiar with React and Next.js. Is it still useful to learn? Yes provided it is useful to you in some way.
Right and using React will feel quite a bit different; it will introduce you to a different way of building SPAs (though there are typically two different design philosophies at work). Knowing React means you can collaborate with other React developers in some way—maybe that is what is important to you.
Just keep in mind that React is just a tool; it's good for some use cases but has limitations like any other tool. So having a particular goal in mind where the use of React is relevant is probably a good idea to keep you motivated while you learn it.
Too Late?
jQuery was released in 2006. In the 2020 Stack Overflow Developer survey it was still the most commonly used web framework; in 2021 React finally surpassed it.
React is often called the modern jQuery or PHP.
React was released in 2013 so it probably still has a few years to go.
Though sometimes results can surprising:
Meta/Facebook is reportedly still using BigPipe (i.e. React isn't a one-size-fits-all solution).
If you want to explore web3, mb learn some React basics and focus on the web3 stuff that excites you!
