Description
A course doesn’t have to be long to be effective. This course skips over the boring introductions and summaries and quickly demonstrates, in code, how to create React applications. This is a particularly helpful format for experienced developers who are wanting to learn React. I am an experienced video course author with more than 25 years of software engineering experience and 10 years of experience creating technical, front-end development learning content.

This course begins by teaching you how to create a new React application from scratch using create-react-app, including an introduction to how the plumbing of how a React app is bootstrapped. You’ll learn what react is, how it uses ReactDOM to efficiently render content, and the important parts of React’s unique JSX syntax.

In addition, you’ll learn how to

Create your own React components

Style your componetns with css, css modules, and SASS

Display data and images in your components

Share data across components

Manage component state (data which changes over time) with the useState() hook

Respond to user events like mouse clicks

Define and link to URLs, routes and pages

Use URL Query and Route Parameters

Share state (data) across multiple components

Access API data with the fetch() and React’s useEffect() hook

You’ll learn all this and more as we build an e-commerce website that’s both interesting and relevant to modern web development. The application built can be accessed on Github and the Github repo contains a checkpoint for each video in the course, so you can easily explore the application at any given point in the course

Who this course is for
This is a FAST-paced course intended for developers who are brand new to React.
You don’t need to be an expert developer to learn React from this course, but brand new developers may find it too fast-paced.
Experienced developers will love the fast pace and focus on quick delivery of the most critical information.
Non-developers and brand new developers may find this course too fast paced.
