In looking at my list of projects, it occurs to me that in order to make a dent in most of them, I really should step up to the plate and learn the front-end Javascript framework “React”. I’m choosing to learn React over something newer (like Svelte) as a great deal of companies use React, and I’m trying to make myself more marketable as well as learning front end coding for my projects. A two birds with one stone kind of thing.

I actually know a bit of front-end coding with both straight HTML/CSS/JavaScript and with Angular.js, but again, I believe that React knowledge will get me farther with prospective employers, while allowing me to create professional quality front-ends for my projects.

I’ll be using Mosh Hamedani’s “Code with Mosh” videos to learn React. In theory, his videos will be building my knowledge up to coding a “production grade app for discovering video games”, and I like the idea of learning enough about React to be able to code such an app:
