React is a powerful JavaScript library for building user interfaces. In this guide, we'll cover the fundamentals you need to know to start building modern web applications.

## Key Concepts
### Components Components are the building blocks of any React application. They let you split the UI into independent, reusable pieces.
### JSX JSX is a syntax extension to JavaScript that lets you write HTML-like code in your JavaScript files.
### Props Props are arguments passed into React components, similar to function parameters.
### State State allows React components to create and manage their own data.
