Jack Kaloger, Full Stack Developer at StreamShark
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jkaloger/
React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. JSX is a syntax extension to JavaScript that describes what a React UI should look like. In this talk, learn how to replace vanilla javascript syntax with JSX syntax for VideoJS components; allowing for a true React based approach to customising your video player, making your player code more readable, and your player more adaptable and dynamic.
