React is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It lets you compose complex UIs from small and isolated pieces of code called “components”. With step-by-step guidance from our workshop and experience directors, this beginner-friendly hands-on workshop will guide you through the basics of React and get you started with learning web development! After this workshop, you could start creating your own web app projects! 

Workshop Resources (Post-Event)

Dear Students,

Thank you so much for coming to the React workshop today! I have curated some useful resources that you can look at on your own to learn more about frontend development.

1. React Documentation: this is an official React documentation which you can look up anytime you are stuck learning React. It also has a "Learn" section which you can use to learn React from scratch.

2. The Odin Project: TOP is a free, open-source community where you can learn all the way from the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript to using advanced frontend frameworks such as React. I strongly recommend going through this course if you are really passionate about becoming a full stack developer.

3. freeCodeCamp: FCC is also very famous for providing quality content for basically everything related to programming, and it also has a very nice set of courses for web development.

4. Full Stack Open: FSO is also an amazing resource for learning web development, especially if you have some background with HTML, CSS, and JS. It teaches you both frontend and backend development.

If you do have any questions for me, feel free to reach me out on LinkedIn. I'll be more than happy to help you get started with web development, internship search, etc. Thank you so much again for tonight!

Best,

Danny
