The better you are with JavaScript- the easier it’ll be to learn React. The faster you want to learn react- the better you should be with JavaScript.

[HKnSLK]

TLDR; The hack is: Focus on the fundamentals first, then you can learn it a lot more quickly!

[zrocodes]

Sure someone can learn React in a short amount of time but it'll be a long time before they can build something useful and even longer for them to be able to build it well. It's like chess, the rules of the game aren't that hard but once you start playing the complexity reveals itself.

I've been studying React/Svelte for about 2 months now each. 1 thing I've really noticed is that 2 months of doing nothing but React, then coming back and doing some Vanilla JS challenges on Codewars, I forgot quite a lot... it really was an eye opener and reminded me of my friend who codes React for his work for 3 years and can't do a basic app in vanilla js, he just knows the React way. Me rambling a bit to basically say I'm very happy I'm doing Svelte/Sveltekit. If I get offered a react job, yay I'll take it, but I'll be using Svelte at home.

Depends what you mean by "learn". Sure, you can learn some of the syntax in a day and write some simple components. But to really learn how to manage state, props, component hierarchy, lifecycle methods, hooks, routing, the ecosystem, etc. is gonna take some serious time and commitment! And, if you work at a company with a large codebase... That's a realistic take.

[lycanthropic]

Learn PHP if you actually want a job in this market.

[smartlazyhustler]

Impossible. If you are ingrained into JavaScript, React would annoy you so bad due to the syntax and JSX.

You might delay learning it, not because of difficulty, but because you are pissed!!!

[PiplupPlus]

All comes down to the basics.
If you know the basics of programming, learning Javascript will be smooth (+ if you get to know the syntax).

Knowing JavaScript makes learning any JavaScript library smoother to learn, of course with getting to know the syntax!

[HKnSLK]

The big thing here is: What does it mean to "Learn React"? Sure, learning some basics to pass a basic test - or write a small portfolio project - maybe in a day (or a few days). But to get used to the common problems and know how to anticipate them and prevent or solve them .. Not a day. You need to use it regularly for a while and run across these issues. That's more what I would consider "Learning React". But yeah, I suppose you could *start* developing with React, after a day of prep, assuming you already have all the other pre-reqs.

[ohwow]

Now talk about the great Ruby. No one has ever learned it in under 10 years. It takes decades for some people to get good at it.

[theretroman]

Yes, you can. In one day, fi you are an experienced developer, you can learn any programming language. What it takes time in fact is learning the ecosystem around the language, the pro and con, the best practices and gotchas, and that you can learn only by building a fairly advanced project, and takes roughly 3 to 6 months.

[radui]

Interesting idea, listen to a video about learning react and being upset about your haircut. I prefer long hear myself but like you, I only have what is left :p

[mikelautensack]

No way you can actually learn react in a day. Building a counter app is not learning react.

[PureLandTourTourandTravels]

This did elaborated a lot for beginners and mediocre level of programmers.

[crism]

Maybe you can learn React in one day, but can you learn to think in React in one day?

[zealousprogrammer]

in one day you can lean and master basics components, state, props, ueffect, useState and passing them but it requires longer for useRef, useContext, useMemo, Redux, ReactForm and ReactQuery... these are important for jobs.

[andrewandrosow]

your brain probably boil away - because there are JSX, state variables, Babel options. Moreover - "create-react-app" software with planty of deprecated modules, that you must fixing, reinstall dependencies in folder. People said, that it is important to know Redux...

[Sateer]

What if your next video is about 'My Greatest Regrets as a Programmer'?

This would be fun and useful for people who haven't had 169y of experience as Uncle Stef.

[somdow]

The comment Stefan read about the guy learning react in about a I'd say mostly factual. Im currently working on an app i built with "vanilla stack" and currently looking for a few things ill need, i learned(the basics) of Laravel, React, Vue in about a week and a half. A master by no means, but I now know enough to put a decent small to midsized app together for sure. So if you are focusing on only one, id say sure, i dont know about "in a day", but definitely in a week, especially if youhave time, and take crash courses etc

[dimitarnikolov]

watching the video while coding on the job lol
