React in modern web applications: Part 1

At Xebia we love to share knowledge! One of the ways we do this is by organizing 1-day courses during the summer. Together with Frank Visser we decided to do a training about full stack development with Node.js, AngularJS and Facebook's React. The goal of the training was to show the students how one could create a simple timesheet application. This application would use nothing but modern Javascript technologies while also teaching them best practices with regards to setting up and maintaining it.
