1
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:04,170
React is a popular front end framework
used by companies like Facebook,

2
00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:05,770
Instagram and Netflix.

3
00:00:05,770 --> 00:00:08,890
To create advanced
interactive user interfaces.

4
00:00:08,890 --> 00:00:12,160
React is one of the most popular
development libraries on the web.

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,570
Which is why React developers
are in such great demand.

6
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:17,660
In this unit,
you'll learn the basics of React.

7
00:00:17,660 --> 00:00:22,670
And use it to build an application that
fetches real time data off the web.

8
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:24,700
For this units project,
you'll create a fast and

9
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:27,110
lightweight photo gallery
with a modern approach.

10
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:27,720
Let's take a look.

11
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:31,410
In this project, you'll use another API.

12
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:35,030
This time it's the API for
Flicker, a photo sharing site.

13
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:38,400
You'll create an application that
dynamically retrieves images that

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,930
are tagged with different categories,
like leaves, forest or sunset.

15
00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:46,680
Clicking one of the buttons
creates a new request to Flicker

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,030
which sends back a new
collection of images.

17
00:00:50,330 --> 00:00:53,530
The search bar allows a user to
type in any term they want and

18
00:00:53,530 --> 00:00:56,080
search the vast sea of
images Flicker hosts.

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,000
This is a fun project and

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,940
a great example application to
highlight in your portfolio.

21
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:07,110
To get ready for the project, check out
the description and instructions below.

22
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:08,310
As you go through the courses and

23
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:11,680
workshops in this unit,
think about the project description and

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,790
how what you're learning can
be used to build the project.

25
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:16,360
Have fun and see you again soon.
