Learn to Build with AI
Learn just enough to ask AI better questions.
Systems thinking beats memorizing syntax.
Components
Building blocks of your app
Components are reusable pieces of UI. Think of them like LEGO blocks - each piece does one thing, and you combine them to build bigger things.
A Simple Button Component
function Button({ text, onClick }) {
return (
<button
onClick={onClick}
className="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-500 text-white rounded"
>
{text}
</button>
);
}
// Use it anywhere:
<Button text="Click me!" onClick={() => alert('Hello!')} />This button can be used anywhere in your app. Change the text, change what happens on click - same button, different behavior.
🤖 Ask AI to Create Components
"Create a React component called Card that takes title, description, and image as props. Style it with Tailwind CSS."
💡 Always mention: what props you need, what framework (React), and what styling (Tailwind).
