React is one of the top programming languages in the world and continues to grow
From almost nowhere, React has become the most popular JavaScript framework in use today. First released in 2013, it currently accounts for over 475k websites, is used by 65% of all JavaScript developers, has over 130k GitHub stars, and was ranked most popular JavaScript library in the 2018 State Of JS survey; but to write using React, you will have to get up to speed in all the enormous changes to JavaScript since 2015 (ES6 and beyond). These changes are non-trivial and take some time to master. In addition, whatever your future projects will involve, you'll need to be comfortable with Webpack, npm and Babel to transpile, minify and bundle your code.Book a Private Event
