ReactJS

React is everywhere. Or so I’ve learned. It’s apparently making a massive splash in the web development space. If only it wasn’t so complicated to learn. Lets go through it. Here are some definition that are important to know.

Props: information passed down between components. “Props” (ie a variable set to either method, or state within the instance of the component) are passed from parent component to child component via the instance of that component.

State: Set in the constructor, it is often data that can be changed within a component or passed down as props.

Instance of component: What renders the component to the page

Functional vs class components: Class components can hold state while functional components can not.

Topics I want to cover still: Hooks, React-Router, GatsbyJS, Storybook, Redux

Who am I and what do I know

My name is Dan. I’m a software developer, relatively new to software development, who is looking to get job ready. Here I will review languages, tools, and methodologies used in web development these days and write about them. Specifically, I define topics that I found first confusing and point towards resources that I found helpful in figuring out the nitty-gritty, so to speak. Check it out! Hopefully if you’re learning this material too, these posts will be of some value to you.
