I would strongly advise against react if you are looking to learn the fundamentals.
By all means learn about raw DOM manipulation with JavaScript first, but do not go directly for react.
We are repeating the same issues we had years ago where people started conflating JavaScript with jQuery - people are conflating JavaScript with react l.
JavaScript is an insanely powerful flexible and widely deployed language. It is so much more than just react/jQuery. It is the Lingua Franca of modern computers.
- nottorp 4y ago> By all means learn about raw DOM manipulation with JavaScript first Yep, where is the documentation for modern JS without any libraries? Preferably something that doesn't try to teach you what an if and a loop are first.

- nottorp 4y agoSkimmed through it randomly and it sounds good for learning the language, thanks! Now where's the equivalent for actually using JS in a modern web browser :)
