React JS Log Blog - Prologue

Hello Fellow Codenewbies 👋

I am learning React.
This would be a series of posts logging my learning journey and it would be updated gradually as I learn something new.

What Is React?

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
-- ReactJS docs

Prerequisite

• Basic knowledge of HTML & CSS

• Basic knowledge of DOM

• Strong fundamentals in modern Javascript (ES6 and above)

Author's personal opinion:
The best way is for you to learn and understand basic modern Javascript before diving into React.
But you can also take the hard way by picking up modern Javascript and learning it along the way with React. It will take more time, but it's doable.

Tools

• NodeJS & npm installed globally

• Chrome or Firefox extension: React Developer Tools

• VSCode extension: ES7 React/Redux/GraphQL/React-Native snippets by dsznajder (optional)
