Learning React with Chai aur Code

Hey, greetings everyone, I am Taru Pathak, 3rd year Engineering Student, hope you are having a good day, just sharing a review of my learning and respectfully commenting on the Chai aur Code.

Started React last night from youtube, came across Hitesh Sir’s Lectures. Watched First three videos, first was unexpected and unusual which was the roadmap of learning react in a structured way.

Second video was very gentle and easy flowing, smoothly made me get comfortable to the very basic idea of react. He made sure that we get to understand the importance of documentation, to understand the basic and raw form of react, liked the idea of reviewing as per react official documentation, it’s a good idea that after guidance from him we can refer to docs easily.

Third Video was a bit of hit-and-trials, we tried creating a web page using ‘create-react-app’ . Where ‘create-react-app’ is executed via the command line to automate the setup of a new react project. It sets up everything we need to start developing a react app without manually configuring tools like Babel, Webpack, ESLint, other build-related tasks. Though for a beginner it was really time consuming and it downloaded various files and folders. So, he guided through and told us two such tools like vite and parcel, both are similar as their functionality and third party and mordern build tools used for front-end projects, we went further to use vite, so we created a web page using it’s development server commands, very very easy for beginners.

We then compare working of both of the methods of directly using command and using third party tool. Both worked mostly same and then we came across some good practices and working of how files are linked to each other explicitly and implicitly. Amazing it was a good lecture.

Looking forward to learn new concept with his scrumptious teaching skills. Thanks for being considerate and keeping the series for free, couldn’t be more grateful Hitesh Sir.
