Senior Developer, Tighten

By now, you’ve surely heard the hype over React, Facebook’s wildly popular JavaScript framework. Whether you want to build JavaScript-driven single-page applications or just add a small amount of front-end functionality to an existing website, React is a fantastic tool to have in your toolbelt — you can even use it for mobile and virtual reality apps!

In this hands-on workshop, we will learn the fundamentals of React by building an app from the ground up and see how easy it is to hook it up to a back-end for real-time interactivity.
