Gain insights into React updates since V16, including new lifecycle methods, context API, and hooks. Discover how to utilize these features for writing better modern React applications.

What’s new with React? New lifecycle methods, context API, hooks, and lots more. While the fundamental principles of React have stayed the same, the way we write React apps has changed with each new release.  

If you learned React a while back, it’s possible that you haven’t been up to date with every new feature/release. It’s also possible to get lost in all the new features. Where exactly do you start? How important are they for your day to day use?

This course is your one-stop reference to most important React updates since V16 was released. We’ll walk through all the major features of modern React so you can stay in sync with the most recent changes while learning to write better software.

Reintroducing React: V16 and Beyond

### My Experience with React

I wrote my first React application 3 to 4 years ago. Between then and now, the fundamental principles of React have remained the same. React is just as declarative and component-based today as it was then. 


That’s great news! However, the way we write React applications today has changed.

There’s been a lot of new additions and removals. 

### Revise Your React Concepts

If you learned React a while back, it’s possible that you haven’t been up to date with every new feature/release. It’s also possible to get lost in all the new features. Where exactly do you start? How important are they for your day to day use? 


Even as an experienced engineer, I sometimes find unlearning old concepts and relearning new ones just as intimidating as learning a new concept from scratch. 


If that’s the case with you, I hope I can provide the right help for you via this guide.

 
The same applies if you’re just learning React.

 
There’s a lot of stale information out there. If you want to learn React with some old resource, you’ll simply learn the fundamentals of React. Modern React has interesting new features that are worth your attention though. It’s best to know those now. Furthermore, you won’t have to unlearn and relearn newer concepts. 

### Catching Up with Every Update

Whether you’ve been writing React for a while, or are new to developing React applications, I will be discussing every React update since version 16. 


This will keep you in sync with the recent changes to React and help you write better software. 


Remember, a reintroduction to React is important for both beginners and professionals. It all depends on how well you’ve kept your ear to the ground and studied the many changes that have been released over the last 12 months. 


On the bright side, I’m bringing you a one-stop reference to all the changes.

 
In this course, I’ll take you on a journey alongside some humor and unique content to follow.
