Learning React. Following a tutorial on Youtube via JS Mastery.

Setup Environment

  1. Node + npm -> needed to JS and manage packages
  2. Vite -> build tool and server to create a React app
  3. Git -> already installed
  4. Code Editor -> I use VSCode. The guy in the tutorial uses WebStorm. I also use VSCode for work. Sticking with VSCode but may play around with WebStorm.

I was introduced to some basic React concepts that include: components, props and the various ways to style React components

There was light exposure to UseState and UseEffect. Still haven't grasped what these are fully but will dig in.
