I completely forgot to post yesterday! So sorry! Just a quick recap since class is starting soon. We utilized what we learned in React lecture by making widgets. We were assigned to make some browser widgets that included weather widget, a clock widget, and a couple others.

It was really interesting to utilize the primary concept of React, which is to load only what’s needed on the page through the use of React’s diffing algorithm that detects the differences between the virtual DOM(Document Object Model) as compared to the actual DOM. I actually didn’t get that very far in the project due to technical difficulties, but we got far enough that I was able to apply some of the concepts that I learned.

The night’s readings and homework involved learning about Redux, which I’ll be going into some more detail in tomorrow’s post since I definitely want to try and elaborate so that I can learn the concepts better. Otherwise, class is about to start so I’ll talk to you guys tomorrow!
