The Complete React Developer Course (with Hooks and Redux) - Server vs. Client Routing

The video tutorial explores the differences between server-side and client-side routing. Server-side routing involves defining routes on the server and making HTTP requests to render pages, which can be slow due to network latency. Client-side routing, popularized by frameworks like React, uses JavaScript to dynamically render components without server requests, enabling faster page changes. The tutorial focuses on using React Router to set up client-side routing, allowing for single-page applications. The video concludes with a preview of the upcoming Expensify project.
