Introduction

Learn React by rebuilding the Tic Tac Toe game.

In this set of lessons, you'll learn how to use React - a JavaScript user interface library, originally developed at Facebook. We keep the lessons interesting by showing you the concepts of React while building a Tic Tac Toe game. And, since we've already covered a vanilla JavaScript approach to Tic Tac Toe in a different course, you'll get to see the difference that React makes when building interfaces.

In addition to learning the concepts of React, you're going to learn about how it works under the hood. You'll sse that, while React has a lot of powerful features, it is just based on pure JavaScript at its core. Thus, understanding pure, vanilla JavaScript first is critical before attempting to learn frameworks or libraries.

These lessons are taught by JavaScript consultant and teacher Mike Dane, who holds a Masters degree in computer science and has worked for Lockheed Martin.
