React Fundamentals Article

Am searching for an article to read and get to understand the core fundamentals of react. I want to get a solid understanding of react components, state, props, lifecycle methods, and how React works in general. Any recommendation?

I should add that i would be using React with TypeScript.

I definitely have an opinion on this because I had been looking for the exact same thing.
I tried many sources and then I came upon the fantastic book, React : Up & Running[^]. (O'Reilly publishing)

I had looked all over the place for someone to give me a step by step on how and why to do things certain way sin React and this book did it. It is super readable, has a tutorial type style and has fantastic code examples.

It also is a very fast read which is important too.
The 3rd chapter provided a sample that will just blow your mind. It basically creates an spreadsheet-type software in your browser. It shows you reasons you would actually use react in your solution. You'll understand the actual power and reasons. it's fantastic to get all of this in one resource.

I took that code and extended it and was working on it to create a component that allows you to:
1. Load any JSON data set (into the grid)
2. edit column data, add, search, delete data rows

You can see it at my web site: https://newlibre.com/LibreGrid/[^]

click the [Load Data] button and it'll load a default data set and then you can alter any of the data and "save" it.

I learned how to do all of that from React Up & Running.

This question would be better suited for the web development forum. That being said, I know years ago when I first was getting into React I went through some Pluralsight courses. These days there's also Udemy. Just pay for an online course or three. Any dev that takes their time to break everything down deserves a few bucks.

lifecycle methods

Also, be aware that using life cycle methods are old and outdated. These days it's about using hooks. It's still worth learning though in case you either 1) run into old code or 2) want to use a class component rather than a functional one. Hooks are functional only.

Here's a couple topics to look into.

State management. Learn Redux, no matter what a n00b says. Learn it. Trust me.
Learn the Context API and its history. This was made in response to n00bs not liking redux. It's pretty cool, just don't abuse as doing so is no different than a crap design using global variables everywhere.
Forget what you learned about the Context API. You'll now use hooks instead for shared state such as useReducer. You'll be glad you trained up on Redux for this. And you'll know the whys and backstory to what we're doing now... which will set you apart.
And for all things pure, learn about generators in JS/TS. It's not specific to React, but gee golly so many people bash JS but have no early idea about what it can do.

So, other half needed a new laptop. Found a good deal (although slightly miffed that she now has a slightly better processor than me!) with £100 off the normal price. I attributed this to the small print that said it comes with Win 10 pre-installed. I can live with that.

However, when it turned up it was Win 11 and I got everything she needs working in pretty quick time with no dramas.

I had started Googling how to transfer Office licences to a new PC to see if it was possible with hers (wasn't sure if she had a lifetime licence or a one-install licence).

The machine came with the trial 365 activated so she could get on and do things whilst I was investigating. However, when she opened a file, instead of a shiny new 365 version (can't remember if it was Word or Excel) it opened up Office 2016 - which is what was installed on her old PC.

Could it possibly be that this was done via her Microsoft account and can it really be that simple? Or will her 2016 version suddenly vanish when the 365 trial period ends?

Just seems to good to be true for Microsoft ...

She can log into her Microsoft account and check. Also, she can start any office app and look at the about screen for the licensing information.

A new Laptop should -at least for me- be alive for at least three years.

Why should one bother to save £100 (and hours of headache) and not just buy a running one?

Office 2019 and earlier are tied to the PC; so, after the trial period, expect it to stop working.

My original plan, from 35 years ago, was to wait for a foggy night in the mountains, preferably moonless. Since I conveniently lived above a lake that was an easy 2.2 mile walk around the perimeter, I planned to take that walk around 3 AM with my pipes a' playing! Fog is disorienting, and a moonless night would make it hard to aim, just in case any of the neighbors might wake up a bit cranky.
