I&#8217;ve definitely been dragged to React kicking and screaming, &#8220;I WANT TO USE VUE IN ALL THE THINGS!!!!&#8221; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"VueJS (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/vuejs.org\" target=\"_blank\">VueJS<\/a> is super nice and easy to use, the View\/Model interaction is intuitive, and they&#8217;ve made the hard things easy and the complex things more simple. My first &#x1f92f;mind-blown&#x1f92f; moment with JavaScript was back in the KnockoutJS days. Seeing that two-way binding work was like&#8230; fairy dust magic sauce&#8230; &#x1f60b;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BUT, there are three projects that I want to be a part of and use on the regular, which all use React under the hood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The new <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/block-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"WordPress Block Editor (opens in a new tab)\">WordPress Block Editor<\/a><\/strong> (the artist formally known as Gutenberg)<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Local by Flywheel (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/localbyflywheel.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Local by Flywheel<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>add-ons (built on Electron, uses React components)<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"GatsbyJS (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/gatsbyjs.org\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>GatsbyJS<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>(the hottest thing since the last hottest thing&#8230; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Jncos (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/mjkiebus\/i-tried-to-bring-back-jnco-jeans\" target=\"_blank\">Jncos<\/a>?)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2016-03\/24\/20\/enhanced\/webdr02\/original-5594-1458865170-3.png?downsize=800:*&amp;output-format=auto&amp;output-quality=auto\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatsbyjs.org\/\"><\/a>Thankfully, since I waited so, SO long to do this, there are a ton of resources available, mostly for free.

Basically, some of this is &#8220;just in time learning&#8221;, like the ES6.io links below, specifically learning about Promises, Fetch, and Async\/Await syntax (not React, I know, but that stuff is all over the place!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I&#8217;ve been compiling a list of articles and other links for me, for my reference, to share.
