Granted, I've had plenty of experience over the years with building websites and whatnot, I've been playing around with that kind of stuff since I was in grammar school. Nonetheless I'm still interested in learning more, especially when it comes advanced programming techniques, new technologies, and different methods for building websites. React was the one popular method that kept coming up. So that's what I decided I should learn. Yet, in over two years, I haven't built a functional website using React (other than the demo project we put together in the boot camp I did). That being said, the project just before my final project was a virtual Tarot deck. This post is both the story of, and the reflection on, that project.
