does anyone have any recommended resources for studying React? feeling a bit behind these days.
#reactjs #javascript
@amy or are you just getting started?
@darius well, I touch it off and on. I studied it in code school in 2018, but have not been using it for work regularly since.
@amy So this was incredibly helpful to me because it disentangles React from stuff like `create-react-app` and webpack and babel etc. It helped me understand what React actually does *in the browser* and treats it as just another library you include as a <script> tag.

This is not how you'd write production code but it's GREAT for learning.
@amy Also the MDN intro is actually a really good general refresher: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Tools_and_testing/Client-side_JavaScript_frameworks/React_getting_started
@darius thanks Darius! :)
@amy Might be worth just crawling projects on GitHub and looking for ones that are using a newer version of react. It seems like everyone kind of rolls with it a bit differently, so seeing a spread of patterns might be good to supplement ref material or videos by people with strong opinions.
@amy Comparing projects that use nothing but react to ones that use something like a pwa lib like workbox in conjunction with it might be cool if you can find one floating around.
@amy I followed Maximilian Schwarzmüller's video course on O'Reilly. It's really great and comprehensive
@amy these aren't totally finished, but the beta reactjs docs are good.
Their 'learn' section: https://beta.reactjs.org/learn
@amy i like frontendmasters.com. Unfortunately you have to pay for the service but i think it is worth it.
@amy i stumbled upon this and i thought it might be interesting for you. #webdevelopment #javascrip #react #redux #typescript https://www.reactiflux.com/learning
@amy How long has it been since you used it?
