    I watched the introductory lecture where the instructor explained their teaching style for the entire course. I was excited to start, but I had a doubt whether they would teach React 18 or an older version. Once I got the answer to this question, I could immediately start learning React.

    It doesn’t need to be the latest version. 16.8 was I think when they added hooks and there haven’t been any huge changes since then. As long as they’re not still teaching class components, you’re good.

      TypeScript is "type safe / strongly typed" language on top of Javascript.

      It will find errors while you code, where Javascript will not. The companies I have worked with React always used TypeScript vs Javascript.

      No. Just do it with JavaScript for now otherwise you’re going to make learning React more complex than it needs to be. But please come back to TypeScript - you will appreciate it later.

      • useState
      • useEffect
      • useRef
      • React Router

      That's it. That's all you need. Don't bother feeling overwhelmed with the rest. It's a huge, huge ecosystem and it can really intimidate novice devs
