Abstract:
Facebook React is making headlines in the Javascript world for the simplicity with which it lets one build complicated browser components.

In this talk we will livecode a dynamic CRUD form editor, highlighting React's application of functional programming and immutability to manage complex application state.

The demo will leverage form widgets from KendoUI, demonstrating that React is compatible with codebases that were not designed with React in mind.
