react-intro : Learning ReactJS

Installing

adjust the webpack-dev-server 2 URLs used in index.html : vm:8090 assumes we want that server to run on a host called vm, but most users will want localhost instead
adjust the dev script in package.json to match those URLs
npm install
npm run start
browse to http://vm:8080/index.html assuming you didn't change the serve URL in package.json.
