+React attaches event handlers to components using a camelCase naming convention. We attach an `onSubmit` handler to the form that clears the form fields when the form is submitted with valid input.

+We always return `false` from the event handler to prevent the browser's default action of submitting the form. (If you prefer, you can instead take the event as an argument and call `preventDefault()` on it – read more about [event handling](event-handling.html).)
 
 `React.autoBind()` is a simple way to ensure that a method is always bound to its component. Inside the method, `this` will be bound to the component instance.
