Online course - Getting Started with React using Hooks and REST API by Udemy

NEW! I have added a new project and videos which will explore React class-based component lifecycle methods and their functional components using hooks equivalent. The project and its heavily commented source code are available for download now!

Remember when you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the content forever including new content which is added as time goes along...

IMPORTANT: There are many courses for you to choose from when learning about React. Most of those courses do not focus on React, they are unfocused bootcamp style courses where a thousand topics are covered and the "biggest projects ever" are undertaken. This course, Getting Started with React, is not like that by design. Most React developers need training on the core aspects of React not endless related library APIs and so-called big projects. In-person, I teach experienced React developers almost everyday and most of them lack the fundamental skills needed to build React applications correctly. This course walks through, step-by-step, how to build React components the right way by focusing on React (not a 1000 other topics) and exploring/explaining best practices. Beware of 40 hour courses which most students never finish and contain topics you will never need. Instead focus on this shorter, more focused course which you can finish in a day and employ your new skills in your work tomorrow (or even tonight)!

In this course, Getting Started with React, professional React Trainer, Eric Greene, will walk you through the essentials of building React web applications. This content is the same content (plus some extras) that he covers in his Introduction to React courses which he delivers around the world to companies from the Fortune 100 to Silicon Valley tech startups. The course is delivered as 100% live coding with occasional diagrams. No boring content slides, just real coding all the way through. The focus of the course is on the core knowledge and techniques of React so that the students gain mastery of the topic without being distracted by unrelated or secondary side topics.

Throughout the course Eric highlights particularly challenging areas where his students over the years have gotten stuck when learning Redux. He then explains and demonstrates what is really happening to help the student overcome those difficulties. The emphasis in the course is best practices and patterns with a goal of learning important conceptual ideas. This is not a course about the React API, its a course about using the React API properly to build great web applications!

As part of the course presentation, Eric will share with you the correct and incorrect thought processes which many developers go through to build React components. The goal is not mastery of the React API, but mastery of correctly using the React API. Building component trees which follow best practices and patterns is at the heart of great React programming. Eric's goal is to help you avoid common pitfalls and incorrect coding approaches which feel easy in the moment, but end up leading to lots of problems down the road. Eric will explain the proper use of props and component state and the importance of mastering the communication of data between components in the component tree. As part of that discussion important topics such as prop types, default props, custom hooks (for reusable state management), etc... are covered in great detail.

As Eric says in his classes, "learning React is only hard because it's new to the student not because it's actually hard". Learn React the right way, and take the mystery and hardness out of coding React applications today.
