Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. In this course, Eve Porcello helps you get started with React. js, guiding you through the interface design of a sample bulletin board app. She reviews components, properties, and component state, as well as the foundational parent/child relationships within React. js.
