In my bootcamp we tackled JavaScript before we got to React, but coming from Ruby to JavaScript was a real mind-f**k for me. I don't know why, but I REALLY struggled with vanilla JS.
Then we got to React, and I still had barely any idea how to do basic things in JS. I didn't understand core concepts like DOM manipulation, event bubbling, barely anything.
But, something about React helped so much! And while I still wouldn't call myself a JavaScript master by any stretch of the imagination, I completely understand those concepts SO MUCH better now. The "why" and "how" make so much more sense to me.
I am actually really excited about going back to building things with vanilla JS. And all thanks to React for making things so much simpler to understand in many ways.
Thanks! Me too! That JavaScript section of my curriculum almost defeated me, but luckily I got through it. I was pretty beat up by then, but React was the lifeline I needed!

I’m glad you got away with it!
