Started learning React recently cause the job I applied for reqires it.
So far so bad.
I...I don't get it.
It might be that I'm just starting out, but I can't see any practical use for it. I don't GET it.
Ugh..never been this frustrated (which I'm guessing isn't helping the learning process.)
Gonna have to wing the shit outta that interview.

    React is actually really cool, especially with Redux.

    I highly recommend Stephen Grider's Udemy courses on them. You can get a good feel for both in a day or two.

    @Ashkin Don't have a card to take the course :/
    Anyway, while I get it's not a "framework" can you tell me what it does that can't be done with vanilla JS?
    Just so that I get the idea

    Try vue, you can get the basics in day 1

    @mpa2304 I would, Vue is on my to do list, but the job specifically requires React :(

    @rewert because it's written in js, you can of course duplicate all of its behavior with js. 😋

    @rewert It doesn't do anything you can't do with vanillaJS. It doesn't change what you can build but it affects how you build it. This tutorial helped me come up to speed pretty quick and I was completely new to the JS world : http://teropa.info/blog/2015/... you'll get the hang of it with some practice.

    React doesnt even do anything that vanilla js cannot do. Its the architecture of react apps that makes it the most maintainable app and the concept of components is great about it. In vanilla js you are more likeley to write a app that has not so good architecture.
