During the course of my job search, there seemed to be an even distribution of companies hiring Javascript experienced employees using React or AngularJS. At Flatiron, we are taught React (because it is awesome and statistically more popular) and although I may not have experience with Angular, I wanted to be able to atleast highlight the differences and similarities between the two. Basically, to show I am aware and willing to learn, and be able to answer some questions about Angular using my React knowledge and highlighting what may be contrasting or similar to what I already know. So I decided to do some research of my own comparing the two; even though both are JavaScript children.. the differences outweight the similarities by a long shot.
Asynchronous programming is an approach to writing computer programs so that events happen outside of the main program flow, in the same overlapping time frame. These types of programs are called “non-blocking,” because the program can continue without being “blocked” by waiting for events like user input or network activity. This general paradigm of computing is called asynchrony. - What is Asynchronous? https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/a/asynchro.htm
**Often, there comes a time in our ‘React career’ when we have to differentiate, decide, and alternate between functional components and class components. Both are essential parts of building a React application, but the two have very important differences that I will aim to highlight here. **

For our third project, we were tasked with creating any management rails application. I chose to make a simple in concept, but complicated in procedure Movie management app. Flicks is designed for users who enjoy films and have a large collection of them. Users of Flicks are able to either search for an existing movie or log one manually and add it to their collection, allowing users to keep track of the movies they own and their forgetful details such as actors, director, description, release date and genre. Flicks also recommends upcoming movies, along with their trailers and details, to Users based on their favorite genres.
