Introduction to React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces

Hey everyone! Finally making the reboot of this meetup happen, thanks for your patience.

React is an increasingly popular component-based JavaScript framework for creating UIs for the web (and beyond!). This meetup will be an introduction to React, its architecture, and supporting technologies.

Some existing JavaScript knowledge is assumed but no worries if you haven't worked with React, Angular, or other such frameworks before.

Your Presenter
