This workshop is part of the series of self-paced workshops on EpicReact.Dev. This document explains a few things you'll need to know if you're attending a live version of this workshop.

Pre-Workshop Instructions/Requirements

Please watch the EpicReact.Dev Welcome Videos (~30 minutes). If you follow along with this repo, you should be all set up by the end of it and you'll be ready to go.

NOTE: I will assume you know how to work through the exercises. There will be no time given for troubleshooting setup issues or answering questions about exercise logistics.

Here are the basic things you need to make sure you do (in addition to watching the example run through):

• Ensure you satisfy all the "Prerequisites" and "System Requirements" found in the README.md.
• Run the project setup as documented in the README.md (~5 minutes)
