Understand the Virtual DOM in under 5 minutes
I began my career in software development as a self-taught web developer. My only motivation for learning React to begin with was to understand React Native, so I could then use it to make mobile apps. Now, I have been working as a professional web developer using React every day at work for a couple of years.
However, like many others, I never really took the time to understand how React actually works and why we even use it. So I decided to take a deep dive into the Virtual DOM, and I now believe that this understanding needs to be part of many web development curriculums.
