Course Overview

Overview

React Essentials is an engaging, three-day course tailored for web developers who are new to React. This course is a perfect starting point for those looking to add this powerful JavaScript library to their skill set. React is renowned for its efficiency in building dynamic user interfaces, making it a valuable asset for any web project. By learning React, you'll be equipped to create more interactive, responsive websites, enhancing both user experience and organizational web strategies.

During the course, you'll explore essential React topics through a mix of lectures and hands-on labs.

Throughout the course, you'll dive into the essentials of React, starting with the fundamentals of building your first React web application, where you'll learn about setting up your development environment and creating your initial application. You'll also explore the intricacies of React's component-based architecture, including both class and functional components, and understand the role of JSX in developing intuitive user interfaces. You’ll also explore creating and managing web forms, along with an understanding of routing to build multi-page applications. Complementing these core topics, the course also introduces you to advanced concepts such as the Virtual DOM, state management using Hooks, and essential tools like React Router, ensuring you have a comprehensive foundation in React.

This course prioritizes a practical approach, ensuring that 50% of your time is spent in hands-on labs, solidifying your understanding through real-world application. Guided by an industry expert, you'll acquire problem-solving skills and gain confidence in applying your new knowledge immediately in your projects. By the end of the course, you will have not only a theoretical understanding of React but also practical basic experience in its application, ready to enhance your web development projects with your newfound skills.

The voices of our customers speak volumes

Instructor was beyond phenomenal. He had an in depth knowledge of the course material and always ensured that everyone understood what was being discussed. I really enjoyed the mix of theory and practical examples of each part of the course.

Cillian M

The instructor was clearly knowledgeable about Java and programming in general. He was very attentive to every student's individual needs and constantly encouraged questions, concerns, student issues to be raised and addressed each one thoroughly.

Mark M

Great job overall. Great communicator and explained complex concepts in a simple, easier to understand format.

Jeremy G

Best programming class I've ever been in, head and shoulders above any thing I took in college as part of a computer science degree. The instructor was thorough and very detailed, he was very good abut explaining all possible scenarios a situation would apply to. The way the albs were structured and the class was conducted was very good for interaction and hand on learning.

Danish J

Excellent training. Even though it was online, I did not have any issues understanding or getting the answers for the questions I had. The lab exercises are interesting to apply what was learnt. Overall very good training. Thank you!

Anitha

Excellent detail about the Spring framework which directly relates to my role as a senior engineer. I found the content and style to be very enjoyable, and would encourage me to ask questions where previously I might not have paid much attention, eg. pom version numbers / spring starters being imported. The focus on the different styles of unit testing was also excellent and I would plan to incorporate in day to day work.

Edward K

First time in my life I have attended remote class and I find it great. Personally I don't feel there is any area which require improvement!

Rishi M

A very good balance of teaching time to lab time. I've done other courses that I found to be much lighter on content and heavy on labs to waste time. This was a refreshing change of pace.

Adam G

Both the instructor and the course material were very thorough - the course material has many helpful references - the labs were well laid out, making it easy to learn from and get done on time
