Hey guys

This video is a react tic tac toe tutorial written in javascript. It’s part of a free course I did on Udemy / Skillshare. However I have decided that it’s probably worthy of publishing on YouTube. So here it is.

Please note: The gist used in this video can be found at https://gist.github.com/lyraddigital/452de5248778c6075c4604130661a42c

This course takes you through the steps of how to build a Tic Tac Toe game in React js from start to finish. You will learn as part of this react project some of the basics of React. This will include some react hooks such as useState etc. You will also know how to split a template into different react components.
