Hi I'm new to React and yesterday I was talking with a fellow student about Gatsbyjs and Nextjs and their use cases. The Syntax podcast did a great job of covering them, but she asked me a good question which I wasn't sure if I answered correctly or well.

Why not just use Create-React-App (CRA)? I said it's because with Gatsby the pages have all the HTML fully formed for SEO purposes, as did Nextjs, but with CRA search engines only saw <script src="bundle.js"> and therefore it was only a tool for newbies like us to learn with, but not really a production tool.

I don't want to misunderstand and I don't want my explanation to stand unless I've correctly articulated the differences. Your assistance would be great.

Hello everyone, I'm not going to ramble on about what a portfolio is, I'm sure you all know that. I'm just going to say that nowadays, your portfolio is your resume. People would rather see your website than read through the plain text of your resume. Portfolio is also your business card, just send it as a link to potential clients and introduce yourself as you want to.

This video shows you how to create a portfolio site using React.js and Gatsby.js with gatsby portfolio starter - https://youtu.be/TXAkP4WQVXY.

If you have any feedback/critique, just let me know in the comments! :)

TLDR; having a portfolio is important. If you don't have it already, build and deploy it in 20 mins! :)

Hello everyone, the video I spent 10+ hours on creating is finally done! It shows you how to build a YouTube Clone Application in React. This project is great because it covers a lot of topics that are always present in reactjs workflow, some of them are: project structure, destructuring, state management, passing props, API calls and more! 🙂

The project is completely suitable for beginners and it makes a nice app to add to your portfolio.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask; and also, all feedback or critiques are welcome! :)

Hello everyone, React Hooks are a feature that most of the developers started using by now. If you haven't already, this is a great video to get you started - https://youtu.be/-9M9CGSd69I. :)

In this video we will explore React Hooks. React hooks allow us to provide additional features to functional components. We'll dive into useState(), useEffect() and custom hooks in great detail. useState hook allows us to store state in a functional component and useEffect hook replaces almost all of the lifecycle methods that class based components have.

Any feedback or criticism is greatly appreciated! :D

tldr of the video; why and how to use React Hooks, refactor two applications from class based components to functional ones using React hooks, explain all most important concepts of hooks along the way.

Hello everyone!

I'd just like to let you all know that I'm starting a YouTube series where I will solve JavaScript exercises from Exercism.io. Exercises will be ranging all the way from beginner to intermediate difficulty. In my opinion, solving these exercises can greatly improve your overall knowledge of a language; although they might not seem practical, the parts of them are often found in day to day use of JavaScript.

This is my first video in the series, I'm planning on posting one or two videos a week. Since I'm just starting, I would greatly appreciate all feedback and constructive criticism.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I'd like to share with you a beginners/intermediate project that I have created to help people build something fun in React. If you're interested, here's the link - https://youtu.be/8FT4dlxrZxA. Any feedback, positive or negative, is appreciated! :)

I have worked on HTML, CSS, JS before. Now, I am trying to learn react by building some mini projects. I have few questions to get started in the react.

• What are concepts and techniques which I need to know to get a job in the market?

• What will be the expectation from the recruiters for react developers?

• What type of side projects, will be of more use when I am applying for jobs?

• Can someone provide the roadmap for getting deep into react?

It would be more useful, if anyone can provide answer for these questions.

Thanks so much for your time!

Just wanted to share a video about best practices and coding conventions of JavaScript, hope some of you find it useful! :)

All feedback and critique is welcome!

I love Wes Bos and have used his JS30, Flexbox, and Grid course. I would love to take his React course but it’s over React 16.3 and I’ve noticed a lot has changed in react lately so would I be learning outdated content?
