‫Now since we are in the first look
‫at React section, let's just take a quick look
‫at React's official documentation
‫that we first opened in the previous lecture.
‫So the official React documentation is at react.dev,
‫and so if you want,
‫you can check out here their landing page
‫and basically get a nice introduction to React.
‫But what we are mostly interested in is here,
‫this Learn part and the Reference part.
‫So here in Learn you have basically some stuff
‫about getting started
‫and some things about the installation,
‫but you will not really need this for now
‫because we will talk about how to set up a React project
‫over the next few lectures.
‫Then down here you have this section about learning React,
‫so where they basically teach you
‫the very fundamentals of React.
‫Now since you are watching a React course,
‫that's not gonna be super helpful for you,
‫but a few pages that might become helpful
‫are here in this section of Escape Hatches,
‫so not for now, but really for later.
‫So this page here is really great
‫once we start learning about effects,
‫and the same thing about this page here as well.
‫So I really like these two and I advise you to read them
‫once we reach the advanced part of use effect.
‫So while you're going through the course,
‫I think this is all you might need about this Learn section.
‫So we're more interested in here, in this Reference section.
‫And so here, basically they explain you every single method,
‫or every single function, that exists inside React.
‫So for example,
‫the first React hook that we're gonna learn in depth
‫is this one here of useState.
‫And so if you then want to learn even more about it
‫or see maybe some other examples
‫that I didn't talk about in the lecture,
‫you can come here to this corresponding page
‫about this useState hook, for example,
‫and then you can read all about
‫what they have to tell you here.
‫Or maybe at some point
‫I will mention the use layout effect function
‫that we will not really go in depth into the course.
‫And so then if you want to really learn what this means,
‫you can click here and learn about it.
‫Alright, so you can keep this React documentation
‫open at all times while you're learning.
‫That's actually a good idea, because a good developer
‫always knows where to find all the information
‫that they need, and in many cases,
‫that's right in the official documentation.
‫Okay, and that's all for this lecture.
‫And so now let's move on
‫to actually learning about how to set up
‫a real world React project.
