i see job posts saying react is a must-know thing now. meanwhile i almost never see html or css listed in job listings, as if they don't matter. they do matter, and they're more important than js. understand the basics really well first. people skip all this noob basic stuff and then i end up with people that know a little react but everything on the page is a div and the task on the table is make this website 100% accessible. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

It's because we assume that it's such a basic that you can't do react without html and a minimum of css

Well, this might indicate to a larger problem in the industry... recruiters who have no idea about the tech basics, but the fancy tech names (React, Docker, AWS... you name it).

This problem might be worth shedding light on.

I am so glad to hear someone say that. I think the same thing. Learn the foundations first. Learn what each thing was created for HTML (document structure) CSS (document styling) JavaScript (document automation). That's why I start out with the foundational basics in my book, Learn HTML, CSS & JavaScript : Launch Your Dev Career. If your interested in the book reply to me and I'll provide a link for a free copy.

Great post and reply. Thanks

J'ai personnellement mis du temps à comprendre le CSS, plus quand j'ai abordé le Sass holalala, l'émerveillement et aussi toute la beauté d'un langage.
Et j'avoue que jusqu'à présent c'est une toujours une découverte.
Intéressé de découvrir votre livre sur ces sujets.
Merci d'avance

Part of the reason is the clever programmer react videos use all divs LOL it sucks because I got sucked into that as a n00b. It's tough being a beginner learning on your own. There is a lot of information out there but a lot of it is not so good information. When you don't know anything, you can't tell what is good or bad. Especially when the code works, it's even HARDER to tell what code is good and what code is garbage.
