Learning Objectives

The objective of this discussion is to expose you to some of the popular frameworks that are built on top of JavaScript or React. The goal is not for you to know how to use these, but simply understand what their intended usage is in case you want to use it at some point in time.

For each of these, I want you to answer the following questions for the class:

1. Why does this exist? Why did people spend hundreds of hours of their time to build this?
2. For what types of projects would you use this for?

Questions

1. Gatsby
2. Storybook

1. What is a React component, and how does it differ from a traditional JavaScript function or class?
2. How would you describe the role of props in React? Why might they be crucial for component reusability?
3. How do state and props differ in a React component? Can you think of scenarios where you'd use one over the other?
4. If components are meant to be reusable, how can props help in achieving this goal? Can you think of real-world analogies or examples?
5. In a typical React application, components are often nested within other components. How do props facilitate data flow in such hierarchies? What challenges might arise from this?
6. React documentation emphasizes that props should be "immutable". What does this mean, and why might it be an important principle in React development?

Fetch Discussion

1. What do you think "asynchronous" means in the context of programming? Why might it be important?
2. Imagine you're on a website, and you click a button to view a list of your friends. The list takes some time to appear. Why might that be the case?

6. Are there other ways you've heard of (or can research) for handling operations that might take some time? For instance, how might you deal with loading an image?
7. What might happen if a website tries to fetch some data, but there's an issue (e.g., the data doesn't exist, or the server is d
