Building a React App from Scratch

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. When creating a react application there are several configuration and setup options that are required to allow your code to compile and build successfully.

This live-coded, hands-on tutorial will demonstrate how to set up and configure a react application without using a predefined boilerplate. Michele will walk you through setting up an application from scratch.

This is a beginner tutorial; no React experience is needed.
