OVERVIEW

Mastering React is a 5-day, in-depth hands-on course that aims to be the single most useful resource on getting up to speed quickly with React.  Geared for more experienced web developers, this course provides students with the core knowledge and hands-on skills they require to build reliable, powerful React apps.

After the first few modules, you’ll have a solid understanding of React’s fundamentals and will be able to build a wide array of rich, interactive web apps with the framework. Topics like client-side routing between pages, managing complex state, and heavy API interaction at scale are also discussed.  We cover all the fundamentals with a progressive, example-driven approach. You’ll create your first apps, learn how to write components, and start handling user interaction.  We will also explore the inner workings of Create React App (Facebook’s tool for running React apps), writing automated unit tests, and building a multi-page app that uses client-side routing.

The latter part of this course moves into more advanced concepts that you’ll see used in large, production applications. These concepts explore strategies for data architecture, transport, and management: Redux is a state management paradigm based on Facebook’s Flux architecture. Redux provides a structure for large state trees and allows you to decouple user interaction in your app from state changes.

If your team requires different topics or tools, additional skills or custom approach, this course may be easily adjusted to accommodate.  We offer additional related React, Redux, Angular, web development, scripting, programming and design courses which may be blended with this course for a track that best suits your objectives.
