Talk on how to build isomorphic web apps in React, complete with example code.

Material

This workshop covers building a web application that allows users to search through tweets using the Twitter Search RESTful API.

The code for this example application can be found in the following directories:

  • twitterSearchApp/ -- contains isomorphic React single page application
  • twitterSearchApi/ -- contains RESTFUL API for searching Twitter

Instructions on how to run and deploy both the application and API are available in their respective directories.

Running Presentation

You can also run the presentation on a local web server. Clone this repository and run the presentation like so:

cd slides/
npm install
grunt serve

The presentation can now be accessed on localhost:8080. Note that this web application is configured to bind to hostname 0.0.0.0, which means that once the Grunt server is running, it will be accessible from external hosts as well (using the current host's public IP address).
