Learn how to think like a React developer so you can build any project with ease​

In order to rewire your brain to think like a React developer you need to first take a journey into the world of baking. I know this sounds crazy, but I promise this analogy will change how you look at React code.

Imagine you want to make a sandwich. What would you do? You probably would make a list of all the ingredients you need and then create step by step instructions (like a recipe) on how to make the sandwich. It would look something like this.

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread
• 3 slices of tomato
• 5 slices of ham
• Lettuce
• Honey mustard

Instructions:

1. Put the ham on one slice of bread
2. Put the lettuce and tomato on top of the ham
3. Spread the honey mustard on the other slice of bread
4. Combine the slices of bread

This is your default way of thinking about solving problems and that expands to how you program as well. You think of your code as a list of instructions that when performed from start to finish result in the desired outcome. This is how many programming languages work and is one of the hardest skills to learn when programming, but you need to forget all of that because that is not how React works.
