I reacted an old project i made while learning HTML, CSS and Javascript using React. The orignal project was a responsive single page website using Ajax, JSON, and API concepts. The site dynamically populates a grid of news stories from the NY Times website based on what topic the user selected in the drop down select box.

• HTML
• CSS (animations)
• JavaScript
• React
• Redux
• Ajax/JSON
• Git/Github
• AWS

During this project, I learned how to incorporate AJAX requests into React using Redux-Thunk. It was difficult to incorporate the requests in a clean way but looking at past projects for a concise example i think i have a decent solution. The addition of React-Create-App made this project much easier to start and gave with it hotloading so i didnt need to manually refresh it. Getting it hosted in AWS S3 was a challange but by reading the documentation i got through it.
