Week 78
Summarize what you learned about React this week. In your opinion, what the strengths and weaknesses of React. It has been a while since I've used React, so it was a lot of refreshers on the basics. I learned that React builds websites using reusable components. I also learned about useState for uploading data, React Router for switching pages, and how React can connect to a backend using requests like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. In my opinion, React's strengths are that it keeps code organized and makes interactive pages easier to build. It is helpful because each feature can be separated into its own component. The weakness to me is that React can feel confusing at first because hooks, props, routes, and state are all new concepts to learn; it can be quite overwhelming. Overall, however, React seems very useful, but it certainly takes practice to get comfortable using it.
