- Developers interested in building highly accessible web applications.
- Engineers working on server-side rendering (SSR) or static site generation (SSG) with React.
- Anyone interested in React's core logic and state management without the complexities of UI frameworks.
- Developers building headless CMS frontends or custom data dashboards.
Before you begin
- Basic understanding of JavaScript (ES6+ features).
