"Virtual Dom" terminology is a bit dated and a bit confusing about javascript-virtual-dom HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey @alexgriff,

Thanks for pointing this out and providing the reference resources. I've added this issue to a list of tasks we're going to try and take care of in an upcoming update to the React materials. Seems likely that this lesson will be retired or at least mostly rewritten to avoid confusion.

I'm leaving this issue open for now; I just wanted to reach out to let you know it's in our work queue. I'll update here when this is resolved.

Thank you!

Hey @alexgriff,

I've rewritten this lesson and replaced the contents regarding Virtual DOM with a brief overview of reconciliation, mainly focused on how React groups DOM updates and runs a diffing algorithm to figure out what to update (and included the links you've given). I went ahead and changes the topic names in the Module 4 track and v8. This should prevent student confusion in the future.

Thank you!
