React is one of the most popular front-end web development libraries for building web applications with reusable components. If you're a web developer, React can be super helpful for you.

We just published a 5-hour course on the freeCodeCamp.org Spanish YouTube channel that will teach you React step by step. You will start by installing and configuring React with create-react-app and Vite and gradually dive into more advanced topics, including components, JSX, hooks, events, forms, and more.

If you have Spanish-speaking friends, you are welcome to share the Spanish version of this article with them.

Carpi Coder teaches this course. He is a web developer who has learned from many communities, including freeCodeCamp. In 2020, he created his YouTube channel to share his knowledge and now he is sharing his in-depth course with the freeCodeCamp community.

Before we dive into the course content, let's see what React is and why you should learn it...

React for Beginners

React is one of the most popular front-end web development libraries. The results of the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2023 confirm this.

When developers were asked this question:

Which web frameworks and web technologies have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year?

40.58% of them chose React.

React and Node.js were the most common web technologies used by all respondents.

The popularity and worldwide use of React shows how relevant it is and will continue to be in the web development industry.

Key advantages of React include:

  • Component-Based Architecture. React applications are built by breaking down complex user interfaces (UIs) into smaller, simpler, and independent components.

  • Virtual DOM. React uses a virtual representation of the real DOM of the web application for making updates. With this virtual DOM, it can efficiently update only the parts of the user interface that need to be updated.

  • Support for JSX syntax. With JSX, you can define the structure of React components with a syntax that is very similar to HTML combined with JavaScript.

React also has a very large and active community of developers and libraries for many different purposes. It's super helpful for building maintainable and user-friendly web applications.
