React is a JavaScript library
used to build the user interface
(UI) of web applications.
It's focused on the frontend
part of websites.
React was developed by Jordan
Walke, a software engineer at
Facebook, in 2011.
Facebook open-sourced it in
2013.
A library in programming is a set
of pre-written code that helps us
perform common tasks easily.
React lets us create UI using
reusable pieces called
components.
Tomorrow: We’ll learn how to
install everything you need to
start using React.
We'll also explore each part of
the React project setup.
You don’t need to understand
everything right now.
We’ll do practical work step by
step.
Just follow along for 5 minutes a
day.
React was built to make UI
development faster, simpler, and
more efficient.
It helps create dynamic and
responsive web apps without
reloading the whole page.
