If someone is trying to get a job, would React be a good option? I'm planning to shift to some role where I program, right now I'm in security, and web browser and JavaScript stuff seems the most interesting to me, I have just started recently on this journey.
I am creating a project using React + Vite which could have very well been created in vanilla JS, but just to get familiar with React and also to show some proof to prospective employers. So just wanted some advice on whether React is the way to go, or is Vue/Svelte where the industry is heading towards? Also any other tips on what you would be looking for when hiring a dev would be very helpful. Thanks.
- Timon3 3y agoI'd say it's a good thing to know the approaches of different frameworks, but solid foundations are the most important factor in successful development. Try to decouple your application logic from your view layer to clearly delineate between the React/UI parts and the rest. This would also make it easy to later build a Vanilla version of the frontend without rebuilding the whole code.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoIf you're just starting with programming in general, then I would highly recommend exploring React, as it is a very intuitive kind of way to learn Functional Programming as a paradigm. Sprinkle those map, reduce and filter functions around, avoid Redux for as long as possible, and you get a pretty good idea of what immutable state does to improve code quality. Haskell and Lisp won't seem so exotic after that, so you'll be able to appreciate the more subtle advantages of FP later.
