Sitecore is known for delivering superb customer experiences, but Sitecore’s new toolkit, JavaScript Services is more about the developer experience. I am a JavaScript developer, and after I joined Sitecore, I had the pleasure of immersing myself into Sitecore’s JSS SDK. I explored developing in JSS and seeing how it empowers developers - how to manage components, how to debug, how to optimize. I learned JSS by building a sandbox React app that integrates open-source modules. This session shares the lessons I learned from my journey.
