Portfolio projects that showcase your new skills
Video Player
It's time to build fluency in React fundamentals. In this next Pro Project, we're going to practice component interactions in React so you can hone your skills and feel confident taking them to the real world. Why? Components are designed to have separation of concerns but also need to interact with one another. Passing props and updating state are key features to understand in React. What's next? A video player, sibling interactions, more React. You got this!
