Learning with React and single-page HTML applications
As part of my plan to learn React, I’ve been building single-page HTML applications that use local storage to persist any information between sessions. As a start, I built a roulette wheel for our team at work to determine who goes first during stand-up each morning.
I have since moved on and created applications for a technical log, a start page, and I have a few other ideas brewing. The persistence to local storage in the browser is common between all the applications, but I’m trying to build different ways to interact with these applications so that I can learn more about React.
Next week, I hope to develop a replacement for the Excel spreadsheet we use to track our OKR goals at work. The Excel spreadsheet is functional and certainly doesn’t win any prizes for looks. I thought this would be a good learning project to tackle in React, as the formulas we use would enable the page to be more dynamic.
