React.js is quickly becoming the standard for building frontends on the web. Companies like Facebook, Netflix, Flipboard, and Khan Academy are using it to power blazing-fast, responsive web apps that make interacting with users faster than ever before.

This full-day workshop will take you from knowing what React.js is to building a fully functioning app in React. You will rebuild a popular app in pairs in between short lectures and leave the workshop with a fully working project that you can customize and add to your portfolio.

You'll learn:

• Why use React?
• The Virtual DOM
• React vs. Other Frameworks
• Thinking in Components
• Props & State
• One-way Data Flow
• Overview of Flux

Whether you've never used React before or you've been through a couple tutorials, this workshop will give you hands-on experience with all the concepts you need to create your own projects in React.

Lunch and coffee will be provided.

• Esther Weon, Front-End Developer, Presence Product Group
