• You should have npx installed using npm install -g npx.
• Install the React Developer Tools.

Repositories

We'll be using these repositories during the workshop. Make sure you git pull and npm install again before the workshop kicks off. Steve will also be positing his code to the live-coding branch of each during the workshop.
