Lecture: Erty Seidhol (CodeCraft Full-Stack Instructor)
Title: Using Google Drive as Database
Description: Why use hard-to-manage databases, especially for read-only or write-rarely applications! Leverage the power of google docs to create and prototype apps quickly.

Tutorial: James Hatch (Full-Stack Developer)
Title: Getting Started with React
Description: In this talk, I will discuss how to build your first front-end project using the popular framework developed by Facebook. We will cover some reasons why React is so popular and then build our first React component. Lastly, I will talk about auxiliary tools like JSX, Babel, and Webpack and how they are used in conjunction with React.
We encourage you to bring your laptop computer to follow along with the tutorial to maximize your learning experience, however it is not required.
