Tutorial — Quick Prototyping for React — Part 2

 

Greetings internet! Today I’m continuing with Part 2 of my Sketch2React tutorial series that could be named “get stuff out to code asap without knowing crap about code yo”…

But instead I named it Quick Prototyping for React. Lame I know, I apologize.

Anyway the whole thinking behind these tutorials is that you cheat as much as possible and still get a working, coded prototype out to React & HTML. So you can brag and show the world that even if you normally just draw rectangles and circles all day you also can do “cooooooode” if necessary. Yes sir!

Your PM will love you if that’s what you’re after. Aren’t we all very concerned about what people around us think about us? I am! So I feel you and that’s why I spend time doing these. You can thank me later.
