## What it is
A workshop repository from EpicReact.Dev where learners build a full React application (a bookshelf app) from scratch using proven tools and techniques. It covers frontend React development from basics to advanced real-world patterns and abstractions.

## Use cases
- learn to build a full React application from scratch
- practice real-world React app patterns and abstractions
- work through Epic React workshop exercises
- improve React skills with progressively advanced lessons
- set up a React learning project locally with Node and npm

## When to choose
- you already know React basics and want hands-on practice building a complete app
- you want structured, exercise-driven React learning material
- you're following the EpicReact.Dev course and need the workshop repo

## When to avoid
- you're a complete beginner with no prior React experience
- you need a production-ready bookshelf application rather than a learning exercise
- you want a course covering Next.js, Remix, or other React frameworks

## Facets

- domain: web-development, frontend, education, tutorials
