Introduction
What is React
React is a declarative and component-based Javascript Library for building web interfaces. Its developed and maintained by Facebook. Although it's grouped with other "Frameworks" like VueJS and Angular, its termed much as a Library and not a framework. Find out more about React on this link.
Why this article?
Personally, when I want to learn a new Framework, I go through the documentation to grasp the basic and core 'Hows and Whys', then I start basic applications to practice the concepts I've learned. This has always worked like magic for me. It goes without saying that learning by doing does a lot when it comes to grasping new concepts. I choose this approach since writing code is like a science, its a creative, intuitive and involving, like Math. Hence, learning by doing does it!
Let's skip the poetry and head first into Interesting Part of this article.
