Frontend development has changed a lot, and React has become the go-to framework for building websites and apps. When I first started web development, I built static websites using HTML and CSS. But when I discovered React, I realized how powerful it was to make apps more dynamic and interactive.
React is everywhere—from startups to big companies. For students, this means that learning React opens doors to internships and freelancing opportunities. In one of my projects, I built a weather app using React that fetched live data from an API. The satisfaction of seeing real-time results taught me how much React can do.
Another advantage of React is the strong community and libraries available. If you’re stuck, you can easily find solutions online. For group projects in college, React makes collaboration smoother since components can be divided among teammates. In short, if you are preparing for a career in tech, React should be on your must-learn list.
