React revolves around the creation of dynamic, interactive, and efficient web applications. By understanding the fundamental principles of React, you’ll be armed with the knowledge to craft visually appealing web interfaces and practical user experiences. This is perfect for developers eager to push their web development capabilities further and enhance their existing digital platforms or craft new web projects from scratch.
Geared for experienced web developers, our Mastering React Boot Camp is a five-day, comprehensive hands-on program that explores the latest features, skills and benefits React has to offer. Throughout the course you’ll learn the practical “real-world” foundational and core React skills required to solve the usual challenges you might face when developing modern web applications.
The lab intensive course includes plenty of hands-on lab work designed to immerse you in the skills required to get you up and running with React right away.
Throughout the course, you’ll cover a wide range of essential topics from understanding the architecture of class and functional components to mastering JSX and the Virtual DOM. You’ll also learn to leverage modern development tools, diving into the power and efficiency of Vite for creating TypeScript React applications and the robustness of Vitest for high-quality testing methodologies. Practical application is a key focus, allowing you to work hands-on with Vite to create and run a TypeScript React application, integrate secure authentication using Okta, and conduct performance assessments between different React tools.
By the course’s end, you’ll have completed a variety of projects, including a time-logging app and a dynamic blog application, and gained deep familiarity with React’s state management, event handling, and hooks. You’ll be fully equipped with the confidence and skills required to efficiently design and implement responsive web applications using React.
