In this workshop we introduce WordPress developers into React basics and how React works inside of WordPress. We will build a pseudo-block interface with pure React and then go into the React architecture beneath Gutenberg. The workshop will close with walking through how to build several blocks using React, including advanced blocks with server side goodness like meta box integration. Of course we’ll get into webpack, babel and npm a bit too 😉 Come get hands on with the future of WordPress development!
