PREP WORK:

1. Have Git installed on your laptop
2. Create a GitHub account (if you don’t have one)
3. Be familiar with npm and how it works (installing dependencies, etc.)

GOALS:

• Learn the fundamental concepts of React

• Learn to apply those concepts through building small apps

We'll start with the absolute basics, so you don't need any experience with React in order to enroll. However, we do expect you to be comfortable using JavaScript.

Each day will be split into two modules. The first module consists of a lecture, while the second consists of programming tasks, where the you and a partner will apply your newly acquired knowledge via pair programming.

Please ONLY sign up if you can make all 3 days. There will be no refunds.
