Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Explain what purpose a component serves in React?	Components are like JS functions. They take inputs and return elements describing what should appear on the screen.
How does adding dynamic content to a web page in React compare to jQuery?	React adds another layer of abstraction but handles better than jQuery (which can get messy quickly).
How did you use props in this project?	Props are essentially the parameters for the components. I passed in parsed event data (and sometimes other components) in as props.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	The waves were confusing. Clarify that we are doing a top-down approach (start by making the App.js file work) vs a bottom-up (start with more basic components). Change the naming convention of the files. React is confusing to begin with, and having 3 similarly named files (Timeline, TimelineEvent, and Timestamp) makes it hard to understand what you're doing.
