Page for notes on learning react. List some resources, videos, starting points, libraries, whatever for learning. The goal is to create the rotoscope project.

Bryan at work recommended Create-React-App to simplify the initial startup process.

• Create-React-App - https://create-react-app.dev/

• React for Beginners 2018 (Programming with Mosh) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke90Tje7VS0

• Ensure you have a terminal app (Powershell for win?)
• install node js from website installer
• in terminal, navigate to C:\Users\yourname
• install react create from terminal npm -g create-react-app
• Create a directory for your react sites somewhere
• In terminal, navigate to that main sites directory, here you'll have react build your app w/ folder
• type: create-react-app my-cool-app-name
• go into that new directory your app was built
• type npm start in terminal
• Browser will launch automatically

Open VS Code

• Open extensions panel
• Search for Simple React Snippets, install
• Search for “Prettier” and install that
• Restart VS Code so everything full installed
• File > Preferences > Settings > Format > check the box for autoformat on save
• Point VS Code to your new react app so it's a VS Code Project folder
• Open the “Public” folder, notice index.html, look in the body section for the div called “root” that is where the react app gets displayed
• Open the src folder and look at the app.js file. That is the actual react app for the demo page
