React is a powerful JavaScript library used for painlessly building interactive user experiences. Without this front-end library, we could still be hooked to writing complicated lines of code when creating the view layer for web and mobile apps.
The best way of getting immersive in this technology is by rolling your sleeves and building a real-world application. And, this project tutorial, How to Build a Time Tracking Web App With React.js, offers you that wonderful opportunity!
Mechasparrow, who is from the U.S. and has more than four years of web development experience, teaches this project.
