Hi Kent, if I want to contribute to React project, could you recommend to me that i should prepare which knowledge?
I mean ES5 / 6 and anything else?

Try to implement your own version of React (Virtual DOM ;)

Hi @thaodt,
Thanks for the question! Could you clarify? Do you mean you want to contribute to the React project itself or to a project that uses React?

Hi @kentcdodds , I mean I'd like to contribute to the React project. So could you please show me which knowledge I need to prepare so that I can achieve that?

I have a small contribution to ReactPerf. Really, only knowledge that i used was a twitter app for android usage🙂
Just read my feed and saw Dan Abramov's tweet about "good first contribution" opportunity. You can start from good first bug label in react repository.😉

Just want to share some experience, hope it helps)

Sorry it's taken me so long to get to this question.

There are actually several sections on the React website about contributing to react. I recommend you go give that a look.

As part of that, I had some tech chats with some of the React team about contributing to React that might be helpful:

• Contributing to React JS
• React events in depth w/ Kent C. Dodds, Ben Alpert, & Dan Abramov

I hope that's helpful!
