Do’s and don’ts

See the coding guidelines and FAQ
Please try not to add styles inside the jsx file. Instead, please add your styles to TalentTheme.css.
Please use ES6, jsx, use state
Limit your use of javascript or jQuery - jQuery is required for AJAX, but very little else.
Use AJAX to get/send data to the controller
Please use plain javascript not typescript

Note : Make sure that you have Visual Studio 2017 installed in your computer. Visual Studio 2015 does not work with ReactJS
