What comes before React

Hey there, welcome back to Shiv Tries React! In this article, we'll dive into some common questions that often pop up when people are considering starting with React. Let's explore these questions with an open mind.

First off, let's address the elephant in the room: the pressure to choose React. There's no need to feel pressured; there are plenty of other options out there in the vast world of web development. Apart from React, Angular and Vue are also popular choices among JavaScript developers. One key factor to consider is job availability. If Angular is more in demand in the job market, then Angular might be a better choice for you. The same goes for any other technology stack.

So, when deciding, it's important to weigh job availability in your decision-making process. React's current popularity is largely due to its widespread adoption by developers. Feeling a bit less confused now?

Now, let's talk about another important question: React Native. You might have heard about it in relation to React. React Native is used for developing mobile applications. So, if you ever plan to explore mobile development, React Native could be your next step. Is it intimidating? Well, I'm currently working with React DOM, which is essentially React for beginners.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion. These were the same questions I had when I first started with React (just a week ago!).

I'll leave it here for now, but before I go, let's take a moment to appreciate our growth. Reflecting on how far we've come can be incredibly motivating. Until next time!
