Trailer for the talk
Here's a sneak peek of the talk: Shadid, Developer Advocate at Fauna, will demonstrate the process of creating a React app by live coding a Twitter activity tracker
About the talk
React is a powerful library for building user interfaces and components. However, to create a good React app not only requires knowledge of syntax and components, but also workflows, data management, and even APIs of other apps. In this talk, we will walk through the whole process by building a Twitter activity tracker with React. You will also learn about Next.js (a robust opinionated framework built on React).
This talk will cover
Explanations and live coding examples of:
- Twitter’s API and how to use it
- Basics of React components, workflows, and routes
- Styling a React app with Tailwind
- Storing data into a database (using FaunaDB)
