Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Explain what purpose a component serves in React?	A component contributes look, feel and behavior. Component is a react class that individual components inherit from that is similar to ActiveRecord in rails.
How does adding dynamic content to a web page in React compare to jQuery?	React manipulates a virtual DOM that is a copy of the DOM state that was captured, which allows each save to update the webpage without having to reload the site.
How did you use props in this project?	The props cascaded through each JSX call to a more granular component. I loaded the JSON file to a variable, and fed the events array portion to a JSX call to the Timeline component as the prop events, which in turn was mapped into JSX elements and fed as a prop to the TimelineEvent component.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Not really, no. Make it more challenging, maybe? I forgot to commit because I was expecting more meaty requirements later, and then checked and I was finished.
