Emotion.
3. Responsive Design - Learn to make components responsive using CSS and media
queries.
K. Performance Optimization
1. React.memo and useCallback - Use React.memo to prevent unnecessary re-renders
and useCallback for optimized callbacks.
2. Lazy Loading and Code Splitting - Use React.lazy and Suspense to split code and
load components on demand.
3. React Profiler - Use the React Profiler tool to detect performance issues in
components.
L. Testing React Applications

tests.
M. Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Static Site Generation (SSG)
1. Next.js Basics - Get familiar with Next.js for server-side rendering and static site
generation.
