 Notice that `Timer` is capitalized. When creating custom React components you need to capitalize the name of the component. Additionally, the value `this` among the configuration options refers to the component instance created. We'll discuss the component API in more detail at the end of this chapter. For now, just meditate on the configuration options available when defining a React component and how a reference to the component is achieved using the `this` keyword. Also note, that in the code example above I added my own custom instance method (i.e., `tick`) during the creation of the `<Timer/>` component.

 * React makes two suggestions when using refs: "Refs are a great way to send a message to a particular child instance in a way that would be inconvenient to do via streaming Reactive props and state. They should, however, not be your go-to abstraction for flowing data through your application. By default, use the Reactive data flow and save refs for use cases that are inherently non-reactive." and "If you have not programmed several apps with React, your first inclination is usually going to be to try to use refs to "make things happen" in your app. If this is the case, take a moment and think more critically about where state should be owned in the component hierarchy. Often, it becomes clear that the proper place to "own" that state is at a higher level in the hierarchy. Placing the state there often eliminates any desire to use refs to "make things happen" – instead, the data flow will usually accomplish your goal."

 Normally, Babel is setup to automatically process your JavaScript files during development using the Babel CLI tool (e.g., via something like [webpack](https://webpack.github.io/)). However, it is possible to use Babel directly in the browser by way of a script include.

 4. A state change merges new data with old data that is already contained in the state (i.e., `this.state`)

 # What is React?
 
-React is a JavaScript tool that makes it easy to reason about, construct, and maintain stateless and stateful user interfaces. It provides the means to declaratively define and divide a UI into UI components (a.k.a., React components) using HTML-like nodes called React nodes. React nodes eventually get transformed into a format for UI rendering (e.g., HTML/DOM, canvas, svg, etc...).

 I could ramble on trying to express in words what React is, but I think it  best to just show you. What follows is a whirlwind tour of React and React components from thirty thousand feet. Don't try and figure out all the details yet as I describe React in this section. The entire book is meant to unwrap the details showcased in the following overview. Just follow along grabbing a hold of the big concepts for now.
