React Developer Tools

In this workshop, you'll learn how to build real-world applications using React. We'll start from the basics of getting your first React application off the ground before quickly moving into component hierarchies, lifecycle methods, state management, testing, and routing. By the end of the morning, you will have created custom components using JSX to build a working application that works with a server-side API and client-side routing and deployed it to production. You'll acquire strategies for debugging and best practices fro structuring your React applications going forward.
