What is Facebook’s React.js project? When it was announced at JSConf US 2013 it met mixed reviews. One question that might enter your mind is...as developer today in 2015, do I really need to know another framework? The short answer is “yes”. In episode 31 “Building with React.js” we talk with Facebook developer and TC39 member, Sebastian Markbage (@sebmarkbage) on building apps with React, React Native, React Conf 2015, what’s new in the framework, what the core concepts are, what the hype is all about, and much more.
