Welcome to the Project

You are going to turn a prepared React interface into a working Kanban task manager.

The starter already gives you the visual foundation: three Kanban columns, sample task cards, an Add Task button, and the task form. What it does not do yet is manage application behavior. That is the part we will build throughout the course.

The finished application will let a user:

• Create a task
• Choose its priority, status, and due date
• See tasks appear in the correct column
• Delete tasks
• Drag tasks between columns
• Keep tasks after refreshing the browser

We will build those features gradually. First, you will get comfortable with the project structure and the existing components. Then we will introduce state and connect the components to it.

What comes next

In the next lesson, you will download and run the starter so you can see the exact project you will be working on.

Checkpoint

By the end of this lesson, you should know the difference between the prepared UI and the application behavior we will add. The interface is our starting point; React state and event handling will make it work.
