React For The Rest Of Us

• The problem React solves and *why* we should use it (aside from “because it’s popular”)
• How to create Single Page Applications with React
• The ability to keep your code organized and manageable
• How to seamlessly pull real and dynamic data into your front-end

Once we understand what React is and isn’t, we spend the remainder of the course together building the front-end for a real world social media app where you can post, follow other users and even hop into a live chatroom. Along the way we will:

• Understand what “state” is in React and how to bring our interfaces to life
• Use the modern “hook” approach with Function Components
• Leverage React Router to create a Single Page Application with shareable URLs
• See the power of Context, Reducer, and Immer and create an ideal way of working with state
• Run code at the perfect moments by understanding the power of useEffect()
• Use async HTTP requests to communicate with APIs so that our app feels meaningful by working with real data
• Deploy our app up onto the web so you can share it with your friends and family

Who this course is for:

• Anyone who wants to create user interfaces using the most popular and in-demand library in the world today.
