Introduce React JS as a front-end framework for building web applications, outlining core concepts through a simple JavaScript counter app and a reimplementation, laying groundwork for later topics like Redux.
Learn how React, a JavaScript front-end framework for the DOM and events, is built and maintained, and explore the build process and Create React App tooling with Node and Yarn.
Explore the React build process with Create React App, perform production builds with yarn build, and modularize code with ES2015 imports plus third-party packages.
Explore how the build process imports index.css into the JavaScript entry and bundles CSS and images, including inlining small assets as data URLs.
Learn how ES2015 modernizes JavaScript for React by using const and let, arrow functions, and import/export, plus destructuring and linting, with a focus on transpiling.
Explore React fundamentals by examining how index.js renders the App component into the root, using JSX as a concise syntax for creating elements and defining components.
Learn how to power up with state in React by initializing a counter, updating it with setState on click, and understanding render behavior and the React developer tools.
Streamline React apps by separating render from state using a container component and a stateless functional counter with props. Explore props, prop types, and destructuring to create clearer, maintainable components.
The React Fundamentals course is designed to guide beginners through the essential concepts and best practices of building modern web applications with React. Whether you're new to front-end development or looking to expand your skill set, this course offers a structured approach to mastering React and its powerful features.
The journey begins with an overview of React’s core concepts, providing a solid foundation for beginners. From there, learners will take their first leap into building applications with React, understanding the fundamentals of components and JSX. The course then delves deeper into the process of building React apps, breaking it down into manageable steps to ensure a smooth learning experience.
As the course progresses, learners will explore ES2015 (also known as ES6), introducing key JavaScript features that streamline React development, such as arrow functions, destructuring, and modules. This is followed by an in-depth look at React itself, covering component lifecycle, functional components, and hooks—powerful tools for building interactive UIs.
The course also emphasizes state management and properties, providing learners with the tools they need to create dynamic, data-driven applications. By the end of the course, students will be proficient in using React’s state to manage and update data and understand how to use properties to pass data between components efficiently.
By the conclusion, learners will have built the skills necessary to create modern, interactive web applications, setting a strong foundation for more advanced React topics and development techniques.
This course is ideal for beginners in web development or those with basic JavaScript knowledge who want to learn how to build modern, dynamic web applications using React.
