You can ignore configuration files. You're going to be spending your time in the source directory. Even in the source directory, you're going to spend most of your time in the exercise directory.

You don't need to open up the markdown files for most of these workshops.

This first React Fundamentals workshop is unique because we run raw HTML files. And that's important because I want you to see that there are no tools required to use React and help you draw lines around abstractions.

The idea isn't necessarily that you finish these exercises. It's more that you open your mind to what's possible and what problems we're trying to solve.
