Chapter 01 of React by Ear — From JavaScript to Interactive Apps.
How does React turn JavaScript ideas into an interface? Begin with a small workout card and explore components, JSX, and the difference between describing a UI and displaying it in the browser.
Before listening: JavaScript functions, objects, and expressions.
Practice: Sketch an ExerciseCard showing an exercise name and repetition count.

Chapter 24 of React by Ear — From JavaScript to Interactive Apps.
Pull the series together with an original workout-log app inspired by the React documentation. Break the interface into components, identify minimal state, choose ownership, and connect filters and forms with predictable data flow.

Chapter 23 of React by Ear — From JavaScript to Interactive Apps.
Build a clear mental model of loading, error, and success states. Handle stale responses and cleanup in a small fetching example, then understand where framework data loading and cache libraries can help.

Chapter 22 of React by Ear — From JavaScript to Interactive Apps.
Extract a coherent behavior into a custom Hook. Learn how reusable logic stays connected to React’s rendering model, and why two callers of the same Hook still have independent state.

Chapter 21 of React by Ear — From JavaScript to Interactive Apps.
Understand reactive dependencies and why a closure can keep an older value. Use dependency-linter feedback, distinguish events from synchronization, and meet Effect Events without treating them as a way to hide dependencies.

Chapter 20 of React by Ear — From JavaScript to Interactive Apps.
Simplify components by calculating derived values during rendering and keeping user-driven changes in event handlers. Learn when an Effect is useful and when it creates unnecessary duplicate state.
