What you will learn during this tutorial:

  1. The first event that triggers on a website.
  2. Make your code react to user clicks on buttons.
  3. Create a counter that increases when the user clicks.
  4. Add event listeners.
  5. What is the event target?

How are the exercises organized?

Each exercise is a small React application containing the following files:

  1. index.js: represents the entry JavaScript file that will be executed by the computer.
  2. index.html: represents the entry website.
  3. style.css: your website styles, they have to be imported from the index.html.
  4. README.md: contains exercise instructions.
  5. test.js: you don't have to open this file, it contains the testing script for the exercise.

Note: The exercises have automatic grading, but it's very rigid and strict, my recommendation is to not take the tests too serious and use them only as a suggestion, or you may get frustrated.
