React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces across a variety of platforms. React gives you a powerful mental model to work with and helps you build user inter- faces in a declarative and component-driven way.
Who this course for?
This course is for anyone who’s working on or interested in building user interfaces. Really, it’s is for anyone who’s curious about React, even if you don’t work in UI engineering. You’ll get the most out of this course if you have some experience with using JavaScript to build front-end applications.
Advantages of React:
The following list highlights some of the benefits of React versus other libraries and frameworks:
Simpler apps—React has a CBA with pure JavaScript; a declarative style; and pow- erful, developer-friendly DOM abstractions (and not just DOM, but also iOS, Android, and so on).
Fast UIs—React provides outstanding performance thanks to its virtual DOM and smart-reconciliation algorithm, which, as a side benefit, lets you perform testing without spinning up (starting) a headless browser.
Less code to write—React’s great community and vast ecosystem of components provide developers with a variety of libraries and components. This is important when you’re considering what framework to use for development.
