ReactJS Developer - The Future of Web Development

Today, ReactJS has become very popular by its flexible and simple features with over 1,300 developers and over 94,000 websites using ReactJS. Moreover, there are a lot of big companies using React for their projects, such as Netflix, Airbnb, etc. Consequently, many people imply that ReactJS Developer will be the future of web development.


Before the world have ReactJS

Basically, building a client-side MVC application with 2-way data-binding is quite simple. However, if the project is more expanding, more features, making the maintenance of the project difficult, simultaneously the performance is also reduced.

You can also solve that problem with other libraries like Backbone.js or Angular.js, but you will see their limitations as your project grows.

In fact, React was born after AngularJS for making large applications easy to manage and expand. React's main goal is fast, simple, high performance and easy to expand.

The ReactJS concept

React (or ReactJS, React.js), an open-source Javascript library for building reusable interface components, used in web development to build interactive elements on websites. It was created by Jordan Walke, a software engineer at Facebook, affected by XHP (An HTML component platform for PHP). React was first deployed to Facebook's Newsfeed application in 2011, then deployed to Instagram.com in 2012. Finally, it was open-sourced at JSConf US in May 2013.

Currently, this library receives a lot of attention from the community. It is being maintained by Facebook and Instagram, along with the contribution of the good programmers’ community in the world.


JavaScript language is indispensable to create a Dynamic web content

So, what is JavaScript?

  • To begin with JavaScript (or JS), it is a scripting language used to create, control and monitor dynamic web content.

  • Dynamic web content may involve things like animated graphics, photo slideshows, and interactive forms.

  • For example, consider anytime you visit a website where things move, refresh, or otherwise change on your screen without requiring you to manually reload a web page, there’s a very good chance JS is the language making it happen and that is what a ReactJS developer do all the time.

Or try another definition: JavaScript is a super important coding language used to add animated and interactive features to websites or applications, which are created by languages like HTML and CSS.


JavaScript library help ReactJS developers on having a better performance

From that sense, you can see how JavaScript plays an really important role in website and application industry development. But there are times when you need JavaScript to perform repetitive functions, such as beautiful stock animation effects or autocomplete search bar features. This situation when re-coding these functions occurs over and over again called “reinventing the wheel”. This is where JavaScript libraries come in, to make things less boring and annoying.

JavaScript libraries are collections of pre-written JavaScript code that can be used for common JS tasks, allowing ReactJS developers to bypass the time intensive (and unnecessary) process of coding by hand. If there’s a run-of-the-mill JavaScript function that developers keep needing to code (and that other developers before you have needed for their own projects) there’s probably a JS library to ease the pain. It does make sense, doesn’t it?

There are a lot of different JS libraries out there and React JS is one of them, so we have ReactJS developers —but what makes it unique? What is React JS used for, and what does a ReactJS developer do? Is it better than other JavaScript libraries?


How ReactJS developers are on the rise

As mentioned above, ReactJS is a JavaScript library that specializes in helping developers build user interfaces, or UIs. In terms of websites and web applications, UIs are the collection of on-screen menus, search bars, buttons, and anything else someone can see and interact with to make use of a website or an app.

For the question that readers often ask “is React JS frontend or backend?”

The answer is: “It’s definitely frontend”. By remembering the “on screen” aspect of UIs, we can keep this straight. From this sense, “React” naturally accounts for “client side” programming (what a user will see on screen in their browser window), which makes React JS a truly frontend library.

Before React JS, developers were stuck in a mess of building UIs by hand with “vanilla JavaScript” or with less UI-focused React predecessors like jQuery. That meant longer development times and higher frequency of errors and bugs. Hence, in 2011, Facebook engineer Jordan Walke created React JS with a vision to improve UI development. That was when ReactJS developers have been becoming so popular and sought – after.
