English

What you'll learn

  • The problem React solves and *why* we should use it (aside from "because it's popular")
  • How to create Single Page Applications with React
  • The ability to keep your code organized and manageable
  • How to seamlessly pull real and dynamic data into your front-end

Course content

16 sections • 96 lectures • 17h 9m total length

  • What Problem Does React Solve?15:14
  • Let's Start Using React19:08

    Start using React by configuring CodePen with React and ReactDOM, rendering a dynamic header and content, and updating the time every second to show declarative rendering.

  • Quick Note About CodePen Settings1:24
  • What Is JSX?8:23
  • Staying Organized: Components Using Other Components6:21
  • Using Props To Make a Component Flexible7:43
  • Looping Through An Array Within JSX11:39
  • State11:41
  • Handling Events (Like a Button Click etc...)11:37

    Drive user interactions in React by wiring onClick to a like counter using useState. Implement increase and decrease handlers, enforce nonnegative values, and observe targeted re-rendering.

  • Working With Forms17:40
  • What is UseEffect?19:58

Requirements

  • A basic understanding of HTML (e.g. "p" is for paragraph, "h1" is for headline, etc...)
  • You could likely work through this course even without any JavaScript experience given the reasonable pace of lessons, but at least a tiny bit of JavaScript familiarity is recommended and will result in a much more enjoyable experience
  • No CSS knowledge required (although it helps to understand that CSS is used to add style & design to a page)

Description

Learn the world's most popular library for creating user interfaces!

What makes this course different is we take the time to understand *why* we're doing what we're doing. We begin by asking an important question that so many other React courses skip entirely; What problem does React solve?

Once we understand what React is and isn't, we spend the remainder of the course together building the front-end for a real world social media app where you can post, follow other users and even hop into a live chatroom. Along the way we will:

  • Understand what "state" is in React and how to bring our interfaces to life

  • Use the modern "hook" approach with Function Components

  • Leverage React Router to create a Single Page Application with shareable URLs

  • See the power of Context, Reducer, and Immer and create an ideal way of working with state

  • Run code at the perfect moments by understanding the power of useEffect()

  • Use async HTTP requests to communicate with APIs so that our app feels meaningful by working with real data

  • Deploy our app up onto the web so you can share it with your friends and family

This course may be brand new, but this isn’t my first time teaching. I’ve led training sessions for Fortune 500 companies and I’ve already helped over 98,000 people on Udemy and received the following feedback:

"Brad definitely has some of the best techniques to embed the lesson into your mind… hands down these are the best tutorials I have had the opportunity to view."

"Presentation is concise without being tedious… you honestly feel that you have a thorough understanding of the subject."

"…[Brad] explained the process. Not memorize this or that, he explained the process. If you're looking to take a course to understand the foundations of creating websites, look no further."

Become highly valuable and relevant to the companies that are hiring front-end developers; in one convenient place alongside one instructor. If you're ready to begin building with React - I'll see you on the inside!

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to create user interfaces using the most popular and in-demand library in the world today.
