Road of React - 1

 I guess this is the place to do it if anywhere.

I am creating a little project to add to my portfolio to hone my skills in react. I've experienced that trying to teach someone is one of the best ways to really hammer down skills and knowledge that otherwise can easily be lost over time from lack of usage. As someone whose in-between gigs and someone who is extremely honest with themselves, I am fairly rusty and this will be a good chance to practice. Practice makes perfect and anyone who disagree never encountered struggles, which isn't possible so they're probably just cappin themselves.

Anywho, requirements:

Computer with Keyboard and Mouse

React Installed (Node)

Coding Fundamentals

Now that's out of the way, let's make something.

Begin by checking your node installation to make sure you did that right. Trust me, all of us programmers out there are hella dumb, we do this because we have to. Next, I created a new folder to put the project in because there's been way too many instances where I just dumped it right where it was and its a pain cleaning all that up using the command line interface(cli). You can do this in windows explorer too, but you might as well just do it here to save a few clicks. Move into the newly created project folder using cd(Change Directory) and the "folder"(directory) you want to move to. 

Next use the command NPX, which stands for Node Package Execute and type create-react-app to tell it to create a new react project, followed by what name you want to use. 

~ NPX uses NPM(Node Package Manager) which is just a repo of other scripts that are super useful. NPX lets you execute stuff from NPM which haven't been installed, neato ~
