Building Web Apps with React.js
summary
React.js from Facecbook gets applied to a small live-coded web app that demonstrates component trees, props and internal state, and a working lunch-selector UI where clicks set state and rerender subcomponents. The talk explains virtual DOM diffing and batched updates to avoid reflows, outlines server-side rendering (isomorphic/SSR) for bootstrapping and SEO, shows JSX quirks like className and dangerouslySetInnerHTML, and recommends layering tooling for larger apps such as Redux or MobX plus HTTP clients (Axios).
