er-00-00-06~Example Runthrough

The process that I recommend is first watching the intro video for each exercise, and also reading through the instructions.

I'm also going to suggest that you open the exercise on an isolated page. And put it side by side with your code editor.

• Have tests running with npm test.
• Open the dev tools with the tab open to the console.
• Before you watch the solution, work through the exercise.
• You can do the exercise and extra credits and then watch all the solution videos. Or watch the solution videos between each exercise and extra credits. It's up to you, however you learn best.

Extra Credit

• There is no starting point for the extra credits, and the extra credits have less handholding.
• You can work through that extra credit on your own, or you can watch the solution videos.

Learning is hard

You might have to Google things, that's actually expected.

Workshop Dev Tools

All of the workshops have dev tools. They're not really relevant for lots of the exercises, but they'll be useful with many of the exercises that work with HTTP calls.

Workshop Dev Tools Features

• Change how long HTTP calls take
• Simulate Request failures

General Tip

Make sure to take breaks as you work through Epic React. Each one of these workshops is at least four hours of just workshop time.

I recommend https://icanhazdadjoke.com in between breaks!

Elaboration and Feedback Form

Each exercise has an Elaboration and Feedback link. Please fill that out after each exercise.

The most important part is the elaboration part.

I want you to write down some of the core concepts that you've learned. Pretend that you're writing a mini blog post about what you've just learned. This will help you retain the new knowledge that you've acquired.

As a favor to me, you can also provide additional feedback on how effective the exercise and the video instruction was for you.

At the end of the workshop, please go to the URL at the bottom of each workshop repo to give overall feedback.

Once you finish with that, then you're done. You can move on to the next workshop!
