In this full-day workshop, you’ll learn how to build a single-page app with React. 
Experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is required to participate in this workshop.
We’ll discuss the fundamentals of React development, the “React” way of building apps, and suggestions for writing maintainable React code. You’ll get hands-on experience building components, managing routes and state, styling a React app, and writing tests.
We’ll be creating an app to manage all the adorable kittens in our lives. The React landscape is extensive, and we can’t cover it all - but you’ll leave this workshop feeling confident to build your next app with React.
