JS Frameworks

Building web apps and websites from start to finish can take quite a bit of work. JavaScript frameworks take advantage of the fact that every website and web app have common features.

React

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

React stands at the intersection of design and programming. It lets you take a complex user interface, and break it down into nestable and reusable pieces called “components” that fit well together.

React uses JavaScript

Much of learning React is really learning JavaScript, which means you will take your learnings far beyond React.

The same way you render a <p> or <div> you can render <MyComponent>
