I think we are using several technologies in our project that a lot of people would probably find more interesting than React. The rest of my team was pretty excited to work on the backend, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I took web development it was still teaching only vanilla javascript so I missed learning React during class. I honestly did not enjoy the class that much and was surprised by that fact. My first degree was in Art, and I thought I would be drawn to web development. Later in my degree here at OSU, I took mobile development. The class was teaching Flutter at the time. Flutter is a widget-based framework. I loved it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using Flutter, I discovered a joy for mobile development. Building and using widgets just clicked in the artist side of my brain. I have since learned iOS development and even completed an internship in it.
When I learned about React and its component-based architecture, I felt like it would trigger the same joy I got from mobile that escaped me the first time I tried to learn web development. React and Flutter seemed to have a lot of similarities that I liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, so good. I feel like I am still at the beginning of my React journey but it has made me not hate web development! That alone makes it pretty cool. As for improving React, at this point, I feel like I do not know enough to make those cases yet. I am sure they will come. I can agree with the fact that the learning curve has been steep. The jury is out if I like JSX or not yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am excited to keep learning, and seeing if React can make web development replace mobile development in my heart!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
