This course aims to provide you with a solid foundation in creating modern web applications using the latest version of React. You’ll start off by learning basic React syntax and the architecture of a React web application, working your way through progressively more advanced concepts until you reach a very deep level of understanding. By the end, you’ll not only have a firm grasp on what it takes to build a full-scale React application, but also the best practices to follow when doing so. This will ensure that the end result of any further React-related endeavours will be not only an application that works, but one that is highly performant and maintainable. The program's framework consists of lectures covering 3 separate topics:
  1. React Immersion for Beginners - You’ll start off by learning basic React syntax and the architecture of a React web application, working your way through progressively more advanced concepts until you reach a very deep level of understanding.
  2. Introduction to React and Redux - Learn React and Redux by coding examples. Learn all aspects of the most popular JavaScript framework today using simple but very powerful examples.
  3. Full Stack React in 60 Minutes - With the rise of technologies such as React, Node.js, MongoDB, JavaScript developers are now capable of creating, publishing, and managing entire web applications on their own. Of course, this requires developers to understand all the key concepts behind full-stack development.
