React JS Course - Getting Started Guide to Beginners
What you'll learn
- Learn how React works behind the scenes — from the virtual DOM and JSX to rendering components and updating UI dynamically in real time.
- Build your first real React app step-by-step using functional components, hooks, and a clean file structure for better project organization.
- Understand the difference between class-based and functional components, and how modern React prefers hooks and cleaner state logic.
- Write and manage reusable UI components using props, state, and event handling — the real building blocks of every React application.
- Learn how to use useState and useEffect hooks to manage state and side effects in a modern, functional React app with a smooth user experience.
- Get hands-on experience creating dynamic UIs in React using conditional rendering, mapping over data, and updating the DOM efficiently.
- Understand how to use React Router for basic client-side navigation and building multi-page single-page applications in React.
- Build a beginner-friendly project using React and practice real-world features like form handling, input validation, and user feedback.
- Learn the best practices for writing clean, readable, and maintainable React code — perfect for beginners moving toward real development work.
- Gain a solid foundation in modern React development so you can move on to advanced topics like context, reducers, or full-stack apps later.
Requirements
- Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is recommended — you don’t need to be advanced, just comfortable with the fundamentals.
- You should know how to create a web page and write basic JavaScript like functions, variables, and loops — no deep JS knowledge required.
- A computer or laptop with a modern browser and stable internet connection is needed to write, run, and test React apps locally.
- You’ll need to install Node.js and a code editor like VS Code — we’ll guide you step by step through the setup process in the course.
- No experience with React or any other frontend framework is needed — this course is a true starting point for absolute beginners.
- A willingness to learn and build projects along the way — this course is hands-on and focused on learning React through practice.
- You won’t need any backend skills or database setup — we’ll focus purely on frontend development using only React and its core tools.
- Just bring your curiosity and consistency — we’ll take care of breaking down React step-by-step in the simplest way possible.

You’ll learn how to:
Build your first real React app
Create and reuse functional components
Use useState and useEffect hooks the right way
Pass data with props and handle user interactions
Render lists, conditionally show content, and respond to events
Set up React Router and make multi-page apps

What You’ll Really Get Out of This
By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of React fundamentals, the ability to write your own components, manage state, and build interactive UIs from scratch.
More importantly, you’ll be confident enough to explore advanced topics later — like context, reducers, or moving into full-stack apps with React.
This course is your launchpad into React — whether you’re a student, self-taught dev, or freelancer looking to expand your skills.

Hello! I'm Fatah Gabrial, an enthusiastic web development instructor passionate about teaching practical skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, PHP and MySQL. With decades of experience in web design and development, I've built thousands of projects, including custom PHP scripts and WordPress themes used by various companies.
My journey into teaching began during the Covid-19 pandemic when traditional training institutes closed their doors. I transitioned to online platforms like many others, but I sought a more efficient way to share my knowledge. That's when I discovered Udemy, and I was inspired to create courses that could empower learners by teaching once and reaching many.
As a self-taught web designer and developer, I believe in a hands-on approach to learning. My teaching philosophy follows the 80/20 rule, where 80% of my courses focus on practical applications, while only 20% covers theory. This method ensures that my students gain the essential skills needed to excel in the ever-evolving world of web development.
I’m also an internet enthusiast, constantly researching dynamic projects to create innovative solutions. My goal is to provide every student with a comprehensive, practical guide in each course they enroll in, helping them build the skills necessary to succeed in their careers.
Join me on this exciting journey, and let’s unlock the world of web development together!
