Getting Started with React Essentials is a fast-paced, three-day hands-on course designed to get intermediate-skilled web developers quickly up and running with core React skills. 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.
Throughout the course students will explore React 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 ways to create a new React application, and building a multi-page app that uses client-side routing.
- Students will build Single Page Applications (SPA), create robust routing with error handling, and use both class and functional reusable components.
- The lab project will also include the use of form validation.
NOTE: This course explores how to build your first React application. You should be an experienced web developer, with solid, current, incoming hands-on experience with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Students who want a deeper dive into more intermediate level topics such as Redux, REST, and deeper Unit Testing and more might consider the TT4195 Mastering React Boot Camp five-day superset of this class as an alternative.
