Victor Nestor 4900 Project - Simple Financial Stock App

About

I am a recent graduate from Brooklyn College, and this is my senior project for my 4900 class. I chose to make a simple stock market application, but didn't know where to begin. After extensive research, I chose to build a web application using React. I started this project knowing nothing about React and some Javascript, but I quickly learned the React library had everything I needed to achieve what I wanted to do. I wanted to create a simple web app that can be used to quickly retrieve financial data a person would be interested in. I have learned a lot, learning more about React, Javascript, and the resources and tools available. To read about my experience, you can click here to read my final report.
