10 Things to Master with JavaScript

1. React Js
2. Git/ Version Control
3. Redux
4. Firebase(Hosting/Authentication/Database)
5. Node.js
6. Command Line
7. Rest API's
8. Flexbox
9. GraphQL (Apollo)
10. Server Side Rendering (SSR like Next.js)

React Js

• React JS has been being used extensively in Instagram, Netflix, PayPal, Apple. Facebook started using React in 2011 for the first time.
• It can be used to produce any type of web applications, native mobile apps, command line interfaces, avionics and much more.
• React is one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks and cementing its leading position with its rapid growth.
• React is capable of building any complex UI keeping state out of the DOM. React employs a Virtual DOM that ensures maximum efficiency by only re-rendering nodes whenever it is required.

Redux

Redux is used mostly for application state management. To summarize it, Redux maintains the state of an entire application in a single immutable state tree (object), which can’t be changed directly. When something changes, a new object is created (using actions and reducers).

Git/ Version Control-

• Its a code Repository
• Its how team of coders work together

Firebase(Hosting/Authentication/Database)- 

Benefit

• Easy
• Simplicity
• Server less
• Free

Develop-

• Real time Database
• Authentication
• Cloud Messaging
• Storage
• Hosting
• Test Lab
• Crash Reporting

Grow-

• Notification
• App Indexing
• Dynamic Links
• Invites
• AdWords

Earn-

• AdMob

Node.js

• Node.js is an open source server environment
• Node.js is free
• Node.js uses JavaScript on the server
• Node.js runs on various platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, etc.)

Why Node.js?

• Node.js uses asynchronous programming!
• A common task for a web server can be to open a file on the server and return the content to the client.

Here is how PHP or ASP handles a file request:

• Sends the task to the computer's file system.
• Waits while the file system opens and reads the file.
• Returns the content to the client.
• Ready to handle the next request.

Here is how Node.js handles a file request:

• Sends the task to the computer's file system.
• Ready to handle the next request.
• When the file system has opened and read the file, the server returns the content to the client.
• Node.js eliminates the waiting, and simply continues with the next request.
• Node.js runs single-threaded, non-blocking, asynchronously programming, which is very memory efficient.
