Coding & Cocktails: Top Shelf | React

Join us for our monthly coding series, Coding & Cocktails. Women are invited to attend sessions to get an introduction to website building.

Top Shelf | React

Just like you can elevate your with top shelf liquor, you can elevate your website with React!
Join Coding & Cocktails for a women-only night of tech as we stir up the basics of React, one of the most popular JavaScript libraries for building sleek, dynamic web apps. Whether you're a coding newbie or looking to refresh your front-end skills, we've got the perfect blend of hands-on learning and happy hour vibes.

The Menu: A Flight of React Fundamentals

• JSX & Components – The base spirit of React, crafting reusable elements
• State & Props – The mixers that keep your data flowing
• Event Handling – Add some fizz with interactivity
• useEffect & Fetching Data – A smooth twist of async functionality
• Component Styling – Garnish your app with visual flair
• React Best Practices – The finishing touch for clean, maintainable code

On the Side:
