Lessons 

Work through this week’s lessons in preparation for next week. Ask questions of your peers first, then mentor. 

Learn React 

This part introduces Web Applications and which libraries are most often used. At the end of this week, you will have built a web application with ReactJS. 

There are many advanced topics and a few assumptions made in these tutorials. It is more important than ever to take notes, research terms and concepts, and be open with your teammates and mentor on any questions you might have or areas that are not well understood.  

TUTORIAL: ReactJS Lesson 

Step through this tutorial to learn about the ReactJS. This tutorial will teach you about basic concepts within the ReactJS framework. You will learn about components and how to isolate pieces and deal with complex UIs. This quick tutorial will have you build your own tic tac toe game with the time travel which will teach you about states as well.  

Additional Resources 

These are optional resources that you can use to bolster your skills. If you get stuck or have an interest in becoming more proficient, spend a little (or a lot) of time walking through these resources. In the Software Development career, practice is what makes you proficient and capable of solving more interesting problems. Keep your peers and mentor in mind if you get stuck or have questions.
