Discussion on: You should probably know enough JavaScript, first.

I think a lot of beginners that try to learn JS as they're learning angular or react (or others) get confused between what is part of JS, and what parts are React, etc. So yes, it's a great idea to just learn the basics first.

I also think it's really important to be able to see forward progress though - so make sure that, even if you're doing the basics, you're still learning and practicing interesting things! Otherwise you might get super bored just learning a bunch of array methods 😀

And in the end: everyone is different :) So if you find that learning React straight out of the gate works for you - then just do that! But also, yes, be cautious as you move forward, and probably go back and re-visit the basics at some point ;)

Thanks for the post!
