Frameworks & Libraries
Modern web development relies on frameworks to build complex, maintainable applications efficiently.
Learning Objectives
- Understand component-based architecture
- Build applications with React or Vue
- Manage state effectively in larger applications
- Use routing for single-page applications
Key Topics
Component Thinking
Break UIs into reusable, composable components. Understand props, state, and the component lifecycle.
State Management
Start with local component state, then learn when and how to use global state solutions like Context, Zustand, or Pinia.
Tooling & Build
Use Vite or similar build tools. Understand what happens between your source code and what the browser receives.
Exercise
Rebuild your vanilla JS todo app using a framework of your choice. Compare the approaches — what got easier? What got more complex?
