Workshop 1: Modern front-end web development

Welcome! In this workshop you're going to learn about building single-page web applications (SPAs) by building one for an animal shelter.

This file gives you an overview of what you'll cover in the workshop. Feel free to browse, but note that each step builds on work done in the previous steps, so you'll want to stick to the order below when building your own animal shelter application.

Learning goals

In this workshop, we're aiming to help you learn about the following:

  • What is a single-page application (SPA)?
  • What is an API (application programming interface)?
  • How to talk to an API from a SPA built with React.
  • How to use GitHub to submit a pull request (PR).
  • How to use pull requests as part of a code review process.

Workshop guide

Here are the guides for each step of the workshop. Start at the beginning and work your way through. Don't forget: if you're not sure about anything or have any questions, just ask any of the friendly mentors!

N.B. If you haven't already, please review the list of prerequisites for this workshop and ensure you have the relevant tools and software installed.

  1. Step 1: Get your repository cloned and environment set up.

  2. Step 2: Build a user interface for the animal shelter app.

  3. Step 3: Connect the user interface to the shelter API.

  4. Step 4: Learn how to test your code.

  5. Step 5: Submit a pull request and get your code reviewed.

  6. You're done. Celebrate! 🥳
