00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:04,140
Hello, and welcome to React: The Big

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:06,670
Picture. If you're watching this, I assume

3
00:00:06,670 --> 00:00:07,990
that you're new to React, and you're

4
00:00:07,990 --> 00:00:10,620
looking for a short overview of what it is

5
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:13,050
and why it has become so popular so that

6
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:14,930
you can decide if React is right for your

7
00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:17,740
team. I'm Cory House. You can catch me on

8
00:00:17,740 --> 00:00:20,380
Twitter @housecor or at my consulting

9
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:25,030
site, reactjsconsulting.com. This course

10
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:27,680
consists of three short modules. In this

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,700
first module, we'll explore what makes

12
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,050
React special and worth choosing over the

13
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:34,620
competition. In the next module, we'll

14
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:36,790
discuss the tradeoffs inherent in React's

15
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:38,860
design so that you can understand what

16
00:00:38,860 --> 00:00:41,000
you're getting and what you're giving up

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,520
by choosing React. And I'll close out the

18
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,620
course by considering common concerns that

19
00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:48,000
I hear about React and approaches for how

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
to mitigate these concerns. All right, let's get started.
