In this workshop, you'll learn how to build modern web applications using React.

We'll start by getting your first React application off the ground using Facebook's create-react-app before moving on to how to build and test React components.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have acquired front-end development skills and learned some best practices for structuring your React projects.

Prerequisites (to participate in the coding projects):

• An understanding of JavaScript or similar programming language
• A laptop with NodeJS10, an IDE such as Visual Studio Code, and Git installed

* please note that if you just want to follow along you do not need to bring a laptop
