The Power of React Hooks with Marissa Douglass

React components are becoming more and more powerful, especially with the addition of hooks. Hooks help break down large components that were otherwise difficult to refactor and test. There will be less duplicated logic in components and lifecycle methods, and we won't need to use render props and high order components as often. We don't have to use classes for manipulating state, we can use pure, simple Javascript functions. Hooks can be a little intimidating at first but we'll walk through some examples to show you how to use them in your applications.
