Foundations & Hooks

Module Roadmap

Welcome to the Foundations & Hooks module. This is where we go beyond the “Hello World” tutorials and understand the physics of React. We will dismantle the rendering engine, build our own mental models for state, and learn how to compose logic like senior engineers.

What We Will Cover

  1. Rendering Lifecycle: Dissecting the Render Phase vs. Commit Phase and the Fiber architecture.
  2. Advanced Hooks: Mastering useReducer for state machines and useLayoutEffect for DOM measurements.
  3. Custom Hooks: Learning the art of logic extraction and hook composition.

Foundations & Hooks

[!NOTE] This module explores the core principles of Foundations & Hooks, deriving solutions from first principles and hardware constraints to build world-class, production-ready expertise.
