   • Understanding the basics of JSX (JavaScript XML) syntax.
2. Components and Props
   • Understanding React components and their role in UI development.
   • Creating functional and class components.
   • Passing data to components using props and rendering dynamic content.
3. State & Hooks
   • Understanding component state and its management.
   • Updating component state using setState() and handling events.
   • Using the State Hook
4. Handling Forms and Events
   • Implementing form elements and handling form submissions.
   • Managing form state with controlled components.
   • Handling user events like onClick, onChange, onSubmit, etc.
5. Lists and Keys
   • Rendering lists of data with React.
   • Using keys for efficient list rendering and updating.
   • Implementing conditional rendering based on list data.

Intermediate Level:

6. Styling with CSS and Bootstrap
   • Applying CSS styles to React components.
   • Using CSS modules or styled components for scoped styling.
   • Integrating Bootstrap or other CSS frameworks with React.
7. React Router

   • Creating routes, nested routes, and route parameters.
   • Handling navigation and URL parameters in React applications.
8. State Management with Context API
   • Managing global state using the Context API.
   • Creating and consuming context providers and consumers.
   • Avoiding prop drilling by using context for state management.
9. Fetching Data with APIs
   • Making HTTP requests with fetch or axios.
   • Handling asynchronous data fetching and updating component state.
   • Implementing loading indicators and error handling for API requests.
10. State and Lifecycle
    • • Understanding component state and its management.
      • Managing component lifecycle methods (e.g., componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate).
      • Updating component state using setState() and handling events.
11. Advanced Hooks
    • Exploring advanced hooks like useCallback, useMemo, useRef, etc.
    • Customizing hook behaviour and creating custom hooks.
    • Managing complex state and side effects with hooks.
