What Is React.js? Advantages and Disadvantages
What is an open-source frontend JavaScript library, is a powerhouse for creating UIs. Its flexibility and efficiency in designing interactive user interfaces (UIs) for web and native applications are unparalleled. With its component-based architecture, developers can create UI elements like buttons or a search bar, which can be reused throughout an application. Several companies like SGV SoftTech, Infosys, and others are experts in development. This not only enhances the development process but also empowers developers, giving them more control and making them more productive. One of the important features of is JSX (JavaScript XML). JSX looks like HTML, and this helps developers write HTML-like code directly inside JavaScript. React uses .jsx files for this purpose. One of the vital advantages of using React is its declarative nature, which makes code more predictable, easier to understand, and simpler to debug. This predictability and simplicity make React a great choice for teamwork and code maintenance. React forces you to maintain data structure properly and with care. In React, data flows in one direction, top to bottom, parents to children, which helps keep things clean and stable. You create small, reusable pieces called components. That makes it easier to build and maintain the design and code consistency of your project. React's approach of not updating the actual web page (DOM) right away but instead working with a virtual copy of the memory page results in a faster runtime. This speed and efficiency make React a powerful tool for developers. Immutability is a key concept in React. It means that the data is not changed directly. Instead, when you need to update data, you create a new copy with the updated values. This approach makes your code easier to test and helps prevent bugs, as it ensures that data remains consistent and predictable throughout your application. Advantages of 1. Component-Based Architecture Component-based architecture is the process of building user interfaces by breaking them down into small, independent, reusable pieces of code called components. This component's modularity not only enhances reusability and maintenance but also empowers developers with the logic of the code, making large applications easier to manage and maintain. For example, a button, a navigation bar, or a product card can each be a component. Component-based architecture helps to make development fast and organised, enhances the utility of time, and ensures consistency. No need to change every page manually. You need to edit the component once, and it changes everywhere. 2. Virtual DOM for Faster Performance Every web page is like a tree with its branches (like divs, buttons, navbar, etc). This tree is called a DOM (Document Object Model). Updating the whole tree or page again and again makes websites slow. To solve the problem, React uses Virtual DOM. In the virtual DOM, the real tree(page) does not change directly. Instead, React makes a light copy. It checks what changed and then only updates that part of the real page. Virtual DOM makes your app load faster, feel smoother, and run efficiently, even if lots of things change on the screen. Virtual DOM enhances the performance of the page and makes it smoother. 3. JSX – Makes Code Easier to Read and Write JSX is a way to write HTML inside JavaScript. It looks just like normal HTML but works inside your React code. JSX makes it easy to understand what your web page will look like. You don't need to write long and confusing code; JSX helps you write code that looks clean and simple. For example, instead of writing many lines just to show a button or a heading, you can use JSX to write it in one easy line. It feels like you are writing HTML but with extra superpowers from JavaScript. That's why many developers say JSX saves time and effort, making them more efficient and productive. Also, JSX makes it easier to see and change things. If you want to update your UI (user interface), you just change one line in JSX, and React will update the screen. That helps you build apps faster and with fewer mistakes. You don't have to switch between files or write too much code. 4. Strong Community React is a quite famous frontend JavaScript library used for creating UIs. React is used by millions of developers around the world. React is built by Meta (Facebook), which means it is always improving and getting new features. Because so many people use React, there's a big community ready to help. For example, if you're stuck on something in your code, you can simply search online, and you'll find YouTube videos, blog posts, and answers from other developers who have had the same issue. This saves much time and makes learning React easier. The React community is not just about troubleshooting; it's also a place to share ideas, learn new techniques, and stay updated with the latest trends in frontend development. 5. One-Way Data Binding In React, data flows in one direction, from the parent component to the child component or top to bottom. It is known as one-way data binding. It's a fundamental principle in React that enhances code organisation and understanding. When data flows in one clear direction, it's easier to maintain and debug your code, as you always know where the data is coming from and where it's going. It's like following a trail of breadcrumbs; you always know where you've been and where you're going next. Disadvantages of 1. Difficult to Learn at First, Especially for New Developers React is a complicated library and has many new things to learn, like JSX (which mixes HTML with JavaScript), components, props, state, and Virtual DOM. If you are a beginner, React will be a nightmare. 2. React Only Handles What You See (UI) React is mainly used for building UI (user interface) and what users see, for example, buttons, navbar, etc. React is only concerned with the virtual part; it does not manage how the app or web will work behind the scenes or backend logic, like routing, dynamic data, admin, saving user data, etc. It is a key disadvantage of React. To solve this problem, you start adding other tools, and your app becomes too complicated. 3. React Changes Very Fast React's ecosystem is changing and updating very fast. These changes result in the rewriting of the code, take time, cost money, and introduce risks of bugs or conflicts. For large apps and complicated projects, these changes may become a headache. 4. SEO Limitations in Single Page Applications (SPAs) SPAs refer to applications that load and edit content dynamically without refreshing and reloading the full web page. It means SPAs make it hard to read and index web pages for Search engines like Google. Without proper indexing, your website struggles for rankings in Search engines. Conclusion is one of the most trending and problem-solving tools for building fast, modern UI (user interface). Its component-based structure, virtual DOM, enhances the speed, scalability, and code maintenance, making it a favourite among developers. Whether you're creating a simple website or a complex dashboard, React helps make the development process smoother, faster, and more efficient. React is Difficult to Learn at First, especially for New Developers, and it only handles the UI layer, which means you will need to use other tools to accomplish your project. If your goal is SEO performance and a rich content site, you have to use different tools like Server-Side Rendering for your project. React is a great choice if your project goals are aiming for performance, a responsive UI, and long-term scalability. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Propellers, Rotor Blades Are Music To The Ears Of Private Jet Flyers
Supersonic private travel for the super-rich may be up in the air. However, their need to access hard-to-reach places quickly, particularly destinations with short or no runways, is driving several leading private jet flight providers to launch or expand operations and partnerships that utilize turboprop, piston and rotorcraft aircraft. If you are not a UHNW, typically defined as having a net worth of at least $30 million, don't despair. Private jet charter and fractional operator is adding a Caravan turboprop and amphibious float plane ... More to help its well-heeled customers access smaller airports or places with no airport at all. The most recent initiative comes from JSX, which offers a semi-private option. Still, experts say it is the travel needs of the very wealthy that are driving the trend. 'The challenge when a client wants to buy their third, fourth or even fifth home is: can they land their jet nearby,' says Alasdair Pritchard, a partner in Knight Frank's Private Office, adding, 'This can dictate property decisions, so we help clients explore alternatives, whether that's nearby airports with helicopter access or private airstrips on larger estates.' For those who want the full private experience, FlyExclusive, which previously limited its services to jet aircraft, selling fractional shares, jet cards, and on-demand charters, is launching charter flights using an amphibious float plan and Caravan turboprop. Wheels Up, via a partnership with Tropic Ocean Airways, helps members make that last mile as easy a ... More day at the beach, including sometimes landing at the beach. Knight Frank says UHNWs who are increasingly buying third, fourth, and fifth homes in locations that are hard to access with private jets, are looking to propeller aircraft and helicopters. It is not alone. Wheels Up has been expanding its partnership with seaplane operator Tropic Ocean Airways, in which it has a minority ownership stake. The commercial agreement enables members to fly to more than 70 smaller airports across Florida, the Bahamas, and the Northeast U.S., including the Hamptons, Lake Placid, Fire Island, Sunset Beach, Montauk, and Block Island. 'We're not surprised to see rising interest in turboprops, seaplanes, and helicopters for last-mile travel—it's a trend that aligns squarely with the solutions we've been building over the past several years," says Wheels Up CEO George Mattson. He adds, 'Our customers can easily combine a commercial or long-range private flight with a final leg aboard a wheeled or amphibious Cessna Caravan EX—creating a seamless, end-to-end premium experience.' Flexjet has been expanding its last-mile helicopter service for members of its fractional jet ownership program by acquiring rotorcraft operators in both England and the United States. In 2023, Flexjet received permission to operate helicopter flights between Florida and the Bahamas. It has now expanded the seasonal service to year-round. Flexjet Vertical Lift President Eli Flint said at the time, 'Now that our clientele has grown accustomed to accessing off-airport destinations, they expect it wherever the helicopter can take them – and now that includes from Florida to the Bahamas and the Florida Keys.' Flexjet offers its fractional private jet customers the ability to use hours on its helicopter ... More service in the Northeastern U.S., England, and South Florida. Longtime private and shared turboprop operators have also been expanding their footprint focusing both on price and accessing airports jets can't utilize. Tradewind Aviation, which had operated exclusively in the Northeastern United States and the Caribbean, added a Florida base for charter flights in 2023, as well as scheduled flights last year from Witham Field in Stuart to the Bahamas. Like JSX, it sells individual seats on its scheduled flights and uses private terminals, so customers avoid the hassles of crowded airports with long lines. PlaneSense, which long focused on fractional ownership, has expanded its jet card offering, enabling customers to fly on its fleet of Pilatus PC-12 turboprops by committing to buy just 25 hours. JSX will buy up to 25 ATR turboprops as it seeks to expand its semi-private by-the-seat flights to ... More airports that were previously the domain of the private jet users. It also expanded the primary service area for its fleet to the West Coast in 2021, opening a maintenance facility near Las Vegas to support an increase in flights in the Western U.S. Last year, SkyShare which has a days-based fractional program on preowned PC-12s targeting customers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, added an entry level program cutting the initial investment by 41%. Its targeting business flyers who need to visit multiple remote locations in a single day. The PC-12 is renowned for its short-runway access and can even land on grass airstrips. And that's the point. FlyExclusive is basing a Caravan and amphibious float plane in Miami, with operations set to start later this month. Chairman Jim Segrave said, 'There's a clear gap in the market…with the launch of our new amphibious float plane and land-based Caravan, we're expanding our ability to connect travelers to the most sought-after island destinations in the region.' Its seaplane will be 'capable of landing at any suitable water landing site, enabling direct access to private beaches, remote islands, and waterfront properties with no runway required.' And its not just second homes that are driving the last-mile solutions. Air Charter Service signed a deal in April to staff a new terminal and helipad area at the Silverstone race track, a two-and-a-half hour drive outside of London. During the British Grand Prix it handles over 1,500 flights and more than 6,000 passengers. Air Charter Service CMO James Leach said the heliport is expected to get use during rest of the year for special events and experiences offered at the track. He noted, 'The benefits of private aviation mainly revolve around time-saving, with our helicopter shuttles saving many people on average between two hours and five hours, whilst those traveling from abroad by private jet can often save even more time when compared with scheduled flights, especially if they add a helicopter transfer to the circuit.' William Herp, CEO of Linear Air Taxi, a charter broker specializing in turboprops and piston aircraft, says that advances in technology over the past decade have boosted consumer confidence in the segment. He points to last month's announcement that the Cirrus SR Series G7+, which can seat three passengers, will be the world's first single-engine piston aircraft equipped with an FAA-approved autonomous emergency landing system. The system activates if the single pilot becomes incapacitated. With a touch of a button, the airplane lands itself. The key benefit of the propeller aircraft, he says, is being able to land at runways as short as 3,000 feet. 'With a (charter) jet, you are looking at 5,000 feet or more if there is rain,' he says. Herp says these days most customers are open to the propeller aircraft instead of a jet if it can get them to their destination faster than an alternative airport further away. 'When we first started (20 years ago), we had to explain how piston props were safe. Consumers were unaware piston props were available for charter. We're not having that conversation as much,' he says. Herp says Linear has around 700 piston prop aircraft available for charter on its website. Prices range from around $750 to $2,500 per hour, plus fees, plus you pay for repositioning the airplane to and from its base before and after your trip. Still, it's more more affordable chartering a jet. Wheels Up's Mattson adds, 'As demand continues to grow for more personalized and experiential travel, we see these aircraft and partnerships as essential to delivering the kind of elevated, last-mile solutions today's premium traveler expects.' Of course, not all of us have the money to charter an entire aircraft no matter the size, nor the need to land at a waterfront property. JSX plans to cater to the rest of us. Earlier today it announced it had signed a letter of intent for up to 25 turboprop airplanes from ATR Aircraft and plans to start operations later this year with two leased turboprops. It states that the new type will add up to 1,000 more airports it can fly to in the U.S. beyond its current Embraer regional jets, offering its by-the-seat version of shared private aviation. JSX CEO Alex Wilcox said, 'Many of these airports were, until now, reserved only for those who had the means to fly private.' Its by-the-seat prices often start under $500. A spokesperson says no airports have been selected yet.

JSX's new flight from Dallas to Santa Fe is the best, quickest way to escape the summer heat
Some cities come alive in the summer as people radiate with energy after a winter cooped up indoors. That's not the case in Dallas. We mourn the end of spring by pulling the shades, cranking up the AC and hunkering down for a few months of way-too-hot days and not-cool-enough nights. Icy margaritas help, but nothing solves the problem quite so effectively as skipping town. Summer road trips are always an option, but you have to drive a full day to make a dent in the temperature. The best bet: Hop on a plane to the mountains. That plan is now even easier because JSX just launched a new route from Dallas to Santa Fe. The brand-new itinerary takes travelers from Dallas Love Field directly to Santa Fe Regional Airport, rather than the larger but farther away Albuquerque Airport. So you can escape the summer heat and bask in the dry, desert climate at 7,000-feet elevation in about 1.5 hours. I was one of the first passengers to fly the new route, and I followed that up with a few days of reacquainting myself with Santa Fe, a city I've visited multiple times over the past decade. What's it like flying JSX? JSX flies out of a hangar that's separate from the main Dallas Love Field terminal. It has its own drop-off point, check-in desks and a comfortable lounge with plenty of seating, plus free drinks and snacks. The airline suggests showing up just 20 minutes before departure. I hate getting to airports too early, but this seemed extreme even for me. I showed up 40 minutes early and was the only passenger there, so my premature arrival was peaceful but unnecessary. There's no overhead storage space on the plane, so you'll check large bags before boarding (even the cheapest fare tier includes two free checked bags). It's quick, and bags are returned immediately upon exiting the plane, so there's no waiting at baggage claim before your trip can begin. The Embraer jet featured 30 comfortable seats in a 1-1 configuration. Seats on the right side of the plane include a console table and have some extra space to work or arrange your things, while the left side does not. Service was friendly and efficient, with flight attendants offering complimentary snacks and drinks, including alcohol. There's also free Starlink Wi-Fi, so it's easy to stay connected in the air if you need to work or want to stream a few episodes mid-flight. The JSX experience is the closest you can get to flying private without actually flying private. The price is more than a typical economy flight but usually less than flying business class—and exponentially less than actually taking a private charter (right now, fares throughout the summer start around $319 each way). And the in-flight experience coupled with the door-to-door time savings on both ends of the trip are well worth it. Where to stay in Santa Fe Santa Fe has dozens of hotels, many situated downtown around the iconic plaza, and several others located outside the main town or tucked into the hills. If you want a retreat-like experience, book a room at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado. It's only 15 minutes from town but feels like a world away. The 65-room property is set on 57 rolling acres in the Sangre de Cristo foothills, and each casita-style room is spacious and comfortable, with patios and wood-burning fireplaces. When you're not in the room, you can hang at the pool, get a relaxing spa treatment or enjoy a sunset dinner at the restaurant, or head out on the attached Camino Encantado trail for a three-mile loop that takes you through desert landscapes and offers unobstructed views of the surrounding hills. With so much happening on property, there's no real reason to leave. But when you're ready to explore the town, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service that departs every hour and picks up on the half hour, so it's easy to get around without a car. If you want to stay right in town, you can't beat Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi. The boutique property has 58 guestrooms and suites, each featuring elements of Southwestern luxury, including custom furnishings, wood-beam ceilings and local art. It puts you right next to the plaza and is walkable to many good restaurants, but don't miss the restaurant right on site. New executive chef Cristian Pontiggia worked at Michelin-starred kitchens in Italy before coming to Santa Fe, and he got a James Beard nod for his local work at Sassella before taking the reins here. The menu features Italian dishes with Southwestern flair, like branzino empapelado, pappardelle bolognese made with locally sourced buffalo, and burrata caprese spiked with green chili honey. The drinks are just as good, as head bartender Jared Reeder has put together an excellent cocktail menu (try the seasonal spring Negroni featuring poblano and basil) and also hosts guided tequila and whiskey tastings. What to do in Santa Fe For starters, wander around and eat. Santa Fe is teeming with great restaurants, including upscale favorites like Sazón, Cafe Pasqual's, Geronimo and the Compound, as well as low-key picks with excellent food, like Horno, Zacatlán, Paper Dosa and Esquina Pizza. Some of the better cocktails are found at Palace, Tonic and Milk of the Poppy, which was opened by George R. R. Martin—yes, the Game of Thrones creator. Once you've had your fill of food and drinks, douse yourself in some culture via the New Mexico Museum of Art or the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. You can also check out the original Meow Wolf, the immersive, psychedelic art installation. Then get out of town and stretch your legs. Santa Fe and the surrounding area is filled with a variety of national parks, monuments and hiking spots that showcase the state's natural beauty. A few favorites include Bandelier National Monument (keep your eyes peeled for ancient cliff dwellings and petroglyphs), Valles Caldera National Preserve (a massive depression formed by a volcanic explosion) and Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, which is dotted with cone-shaped tent rock formations and looks like another planet. It's all just a quick flight from Dallas, a city with plenty to offer, but one that's conspicuously missing volcanic depressions and tent rocks. And hospitable summer weather.

Britney Spears Broke This Major FAA Rule and Was Met by Authorities Upon Landing
Britney Spears learned the hard way that you should always follow all the rules on a commercial airplane, including never—ever—lighting up a cigarette. On May 22, Spears was caught smoking mid-flight on her way back from Cabo San Lucas while reportedly onboard a JSX flight, a public charter airline. According to People , the act "alarmed" flight attendants, who promptly instructed the pop star to put the cigarette out, which she did. However, the crew still contacted authorities, who spoke to Spears when the flight landed at Los Angeles International Airport. "This is not her first warning," a source shared with People . "She doesn't exactly follow the rules." Spears also posted about the incident on her Instagram account, sharing a video of herself on the flight, along with a caption that reads, 'Me yesterday !!! It's actually incredibly funny!!!' 'Some planes I've been on you can't smoke mostly but this one was different because the drink holders were on [the] outside of [the] seat!!! Confession it was my first time drinking VODKA!!! I swear I felt so SMART!!! I was like wow what the heck is in there !!! I felt so clear and smart !!! And said I want a cigarette so bad!!!' She then explained that a "friend" placed one in her mouth and lit it, leading her to assume she could smoke on the plane. She went on to apologize to anyone she "offended" on the flight, noting that she believed she was being met by authorities as a show of "support." "The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me, which jeez I thought was kinda much, but she didn't like me the moment I got on [the] plane," Spears added. The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) banned smoking on domestic flights that were less than two hours in 1988 and two years later, banned smoking on flights under six hours, which covered most flights across the nation. However, it took until the year 2000 for smoking to be banned on all flights to and from the U.S., according to Business Insider, when then-President Clinton signed the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century. And in 2016, the U.S. updated its rules to include banning the use of e-cigarettes, too. And really, it's not worth pushing the limits like Spears. As USA Today noted, FAA regulations state that they can give a maximum fine of $25,000 for smoking on planes and "distracting crews." The ban isn't just for crew and passenger comfort, either. Lion Air explains on its website, "Smoking on board can pose a serious fire risk. Dry air conditions in the aircraft cabin can also make fuel more flammable. In an emergency, controlling and extinguishing fires on board can be extremely difficult and potentially compromise the safety of all passengers and cabin crew." It added, "Secondhand smoke can disturb other non-smoking passengers, due to the unpleasant smell of cigarettes, and can cause irritation to the nose, eyes, and throat. Restricting smoking on board ensures that all passengers can enjoy their journey comfortably."

In a candid moment, Spears revealed that a friend lit the cigarette for her, leading her to believe she had the green light to smoke on board. 'I do apologise to anyone I offended, but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of the plane anyway 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️!' she explained, clearly surprised by the fallout of her actions. The singer added that she initially thought the officials who greeted her were offering support and noted, with characteristic humour, 'I've never been to an international airport 😂😂😂😂! Am I famous or something???' In her Instagram narration, Spears lamented the flight attendant's manner, expressing a sense of discomfort: 'The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette!
