Duration 5 Days 30 CPD hours This course is intended for This introductory-level, fast-paced course is for skilled web developers new to React who have prior experienced working HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Overview Our engaging instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current 'on-the-job' experience into every classroom. Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn about and explore: A basic and advanced understanding of React components An advanced, in-depth knowledge of how React works A complete understanding of using Redux How to build, validate, and populate interactive forms How to use inline styles for perfect looking components How to test React components How to build and use components How to get control of your build process A deep understanding of data-driven modeling with props and state How to use client-side routing for pages in your apps How to debug a React application Mastering React is a comprehensive 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 new to React, 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. The first module is an introduction to the new functionality in ECMAScript 6 (JavaScript). Client-side routing between pages, managing complex state, and heavy API interaction at scale are also covered. This course consists of two parts. In the first part of the course students will explore all the fundamentals with a progressive, example-driven approach. You?ll create your first apps, learn how to write components, start handling user interaction, and manage rich forms. We end the first part by exploring 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 the 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 the Flux architecture. Redux provides a structure for large state trees and allows you to decouple user interaction in your app from state changes. GraphQL is a powerful, typed, REST API alternative where the client describes the data it needs. Hooks is the powerful, new way to maintain state and properties with functional components and the future of React according to Facebook.
