#5 Talk Two - Storybook and You

Have you ever wanted to interact with your JavaScript Components BEFORE you use them in your application? Or wanted to build these components in isolation without worrying about the dependencies specific to your app?

In this talk, I will take you through Storybook a 'user interface development environment and playground for UI components' and the benefits it can bring when creating new components for your JavaScript application. This talk will focus primarily on React, but it is possible to use
Storybook with Angular, Vue and a host of other frameworks.
