Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Explain what purpose a component serves in React?	A component is a small, reusable piece of code that acts as a building block in React.
How does adding dynamic content to a web page in React compare to jQuery?	With jQuery, we were manually manipulating the actual DOM, but with React we are manipulating a virtual DOM, which is like a lightweight copy of the actual DOM. When changes are made to the virtual DOM, React updates only those objects that have changed in the actual DOM.
How did you use props in this project?	I used props to send the timeline data (stored in the JSON file) from App.js to the Timeline component, and subsequently, to pass the individual event data in the JSON file from the Timeline to the TimelineEvent component.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Don't start it at 3:30 on Friday? (I'm kidding; it was fine.)
