Step One: Watch Mary Rose Cook Live Codes Space Invaders from Front-Trends. (The second worst conference name ever?)

Step Two: Fork this gist.

Step Three: Respond to this question in your fork: What is one approach you can take from this Mary's code and implement in your project?

Step Four: Totally Optional: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.

That was super cool to watch! I thought her explanation of tick and updating was really clear. I also thought it was interesting that the bodies array held three different object types. I think I have a few takeaways I'd like to hang on to.

React in theory

Use this gist to write down notes and questions as you read through the lesson plan. https://github.com/turingschool/lesson_plans/blob/master/ruby_04-apis_and_scalability/react_in_theory.markdown

What does React do?

It's used to create user interfaces. Small components that present data. Tells HTML what to render and how to respond to events. (?Well structured component tree?) Clarify how different from regular JS and JQuery? Unclear.

How does React interact with the DOM?

Each component has a render function. It executes the code and renders the JS and HTML in the return statement. ?Virtual DOM? React listens for state changes (data that can change) and re-renders it (in contrast to polling the data). When setState is called in a component, React knows to re-render it. (?Clarify mounted on the DOM?)
