React Side Projects

The Jim Boylen Quote Machine

I made this very simple React project mostly because I thought it would be funny to immortalize a wacky Chicago sports figure, but also to practice using state in class components. The project got aggregated onto a number of websites.

Currency converter

A currency web app that I built following a YouTube tutorial. I practiced working with APIs and managing state with the useState and useEffect hooks.

Tic Tac Noh

I followed one of the examples provided in the React documentation to build this Tic Tac Toe game. I got more practice with the useState hook and learning from documentation.

Weather App

A live weather app I made in React. This gave me practice with APIs, destructuring, building a web app by dividing it into components, and using React hooks to manage state.
