Quick note on self-learning

“

Okay, before we jump into React, there's something really important I need to tell you as a self-learner. I can't make this clear enough because it really saves time. If you're starting a video like the last video, where we went over the Web Essentials for Beginners, and you're saying, hey, I know about rendering and UI stuff, but Clarion saying is something I've been doing for the past few years as a junior developer working on a startup, or working on Fiverr independently, or working at Amazon. I don't know. If that's the case, then you need to be able to say bookmark this, move to the next, time management, apply what you do in the real world to your self-learning. Self-learning is a skill in itself. And I'm not going to go deeper than that because this course isn't about that, but it's in part, but it's in part about that because this course is designed not as a random YouTube course to get subscribers. This course is designed so that you can get an efficient, full macro view of Next.js and what is necessary to master it on an advanced level. And because of that, I don't want you to waste your time on things that you already know. That being said, if you enjoy the refresher or the way I break things down, well, that's awesome. You know, I've been using React for years and years, and I still love talking about it. Albert Einstein, famous for saying, any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction, to simplify things down. So that's why I'm a fond believer that even if you have 10 years or 20 years, whatever years of development already under your belt, going back to the basics has an incredible amount of value. Being able to break things down, there's a clarity that that comes from breaking down complexity, which revitalizes your overall capabilities, in my opinion. All right, so that's a quick note on self-learning. Let's move on to React.
