Introduction

In this chapter, you will learn about one of the most important React concepts and building blocks. You will learn that components are reusable building blocks that are used to build user interfaces. In addition, JSX code will be discussed in greater detail so that you will be able to use the concept of components and JSX to build your own first basic React apps.

Maximilian Schwarzmüller

Maximilian Schwarzmüller is a professional web developer and instructor, he has never stopped learning new programming skills and languages since the age of 13. In his early days, he started creating websites simply for fun. This passion has remained and shaped his decision to work as a freelance web developer and consultant. Although he started web development on the backend (PHP with Laravel and NodeJS), he has progressed to becoming a front-end developer using modern frameworks such as React, Angular, and VueJS 2 in many projects. The most rewarding experience for him is to see how people find new and better jobs, build exciting web applications, acquire amazing projects, or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of his content.
