Whilst this course is ideal for React beginners, we are going to assume you're familiar with the fundamentals of frontend development; namely, JavaScript, CSS and HTML, as well as setting up basic projects for development. We are going to be using a few other conventions and approaches during the course, especially when it comes to the practical portions.

Those conventions will include:

• Building our examples and apps using modern, ES6 JavaScript.

• For React, we'll be making liberal use of best practices, such as employing Hooks where necessary and developing using functional components over traditional class-based ones (but don't worry, this is explained in the early modules of this course).

• Using VS Code as our code editor.

• Babel for transpiling our code (you won't have to worry about this though).

• Using Create React App as a starter project for our practical examples (where appropriate).

• Preferring Yarn over npm to install dependencies and run our examples.

• Applying styles and HTML elements from the Bulma CSS Framework.
