Day 24: Getting Started with React & Components | 28-Day Web Developer Bootcamp

Welcome to Day 24 of the 28-Day Web Developer Bootcamp! 🚀 In today’s lesson, we are taking a massive leap forward by introducing React, a powerful framework for building user interfaces . Now that we have mastered vanilla JavaScript and manual DOM manipulation, it is time to learn how modern front-end developers build complex, data-driven web applications! In this video, we cover: Introduction to React: We explore what React is, its core framework features, and how it allows developers to build Single Page Applications (SPAs) with a special emphasis on code reusability . React Components: Learn how to break down your web page's user interface into smaller, self-contained, and reusable custom components . React Events and State: Discover how React handles user interactivity, edits, and conditional UI updates using state management and event handlers . Building a ToDo App: Follow along as we apply these new concepts to start building a practical, interactive React ToDo application from scratch . 📅 About This Bootcamp: Have you ever wondered how websites are built? This complete, 28-day course takes you from writing your first line of code to understanding the core technologies of the modern web: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Node.js . We believe that learning to code should be accessible to everyone. We are deeply inspired by initiatives like CodeYogi, which successfully teaches industry-standard programming—such as React, HTML, and JavaScript—entirely via smartphones using a Hindi-based curriculum . By leveraging open-source messaging platforms like Telegram and integrating AI (like ChatGPT APIs) to answer student doubts and evaluate assignments, CodeYogi is bringing tech education to over 150,000 students in rural and underprivileged communities . Initiatives like this prove that you don't need an expensive computer to learn how to build the modern web; you just need curiosity and a smartphone . In today’s lesson, we are diving into: [Brief 1-2 sentence description of what today's specific video covers. Example: "How to properly structure your HTML document and use the head tag for metadata."] 📅 About This Bootcamp: Have you ever wondered how websites are built?
