This course will help you become a full-stack developer, by adding a popular Javascript browser framework to your skillset. The course teaches the basics of building user interfaces with React, with a very practical, hands-on approach. We cover everything from the basics of creating components, JSX, and Forms through to advanced features such as making REST requests, Redux, routing, testing, and more.   It is a great course for novice and experienced Java developers who want to become full-stack. You’ll learn how to integrate front-ends with Java-based back-end systems (such as Spring Boot). Because it has been created specifically for existing back-end developers, it will be the quickest and easiest way for you to get up to speed with React.  To be a confident, competent React developer, you need a good foundation and this course will give you that – it covers every topic in a thorough way, but at a level that makes it easy to follow and accessible.
