About the Course

Learn one of the most popular front-end frameworks, JavaScript React, in this hands-on course. Take the next step in your web development journey by learning how to build client-side user interfaces. You will develop these front-ends using components, the modular building blocks of React applications. You will learn about component composition to create rich functionality with features such as props, hooks, states, and event handling. You will explore component lifecycles and how to pass data and manipulate component states. Build your portfolio and gain practical experience by completing numerous hands-on labs in each lesson. At the end of the course, you integrate your skills with a final project by developing a shopping cart application. This course will help you succeed as a front-end, mobile or full-stack developer. It suits IT professionals looking to step up their careers or new graduates seeking to establish their client-side skills. Note that you will need basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Git skills to get the most out of this course....

Good and precise course also! The lab environments are interactive and also it allows us to practise git and github concepts. Thus, giving a real feel of course

The course provides a real learning experience. I was able to understand and put into practice what was taught in class and deliver the project.

Great course overall that allowed me to learn a lot of important concepts of React. That said, I felt like the difficulty of the course scaled way too rapidly in the end.

Very good course, but redux could have slightly more explanation, but still the course material is very good, and for an online course, i have learned a lot !

Personally i would have liked to have hands-on practice. It recommends react_create_app when it is already deprecated.

I would say generally this course is pretty decent, but I'm pretty experienced with React and am taking this as part of a larger track and just have to rate this a little lower if it is meant to teach newcomers about some features of React since it has some parts that distinctly stood out to me as bugs that were examples of the 'right' way to do things. It kind of concerns me since I'll be less experienced in some of the other areas of the course, and don't want to learn bad habits. For example, in Module 3 / Side Effects video / 3:50 a useEffect is shown with an infinite loop in it as the way to do things correctly (foods is a dependency of the useEffect, and the foods state is updated in the useEffect). Also, I saw many areas where there could be issues from state update batches based off the state's previous value. setFoods(foods + 1) should be something like setFoods(prev => prev + 1). Also, some of the questions on quizzes were kind of bizarre, like asking how to do an API call with 'React' and the correct answer wasn't useEffect, it was useFetch, which is not a standard React hook. It is a custom one that was written in this course, but newcomers may think this actually exists in the library from this.

should be more focus on Redux, and the code in the final project is a mess. There should be more React modules in the final project. Everything should be broken up into modules in the final project instead of just one big file with with the store. remember we are working with someone else-s code in the final project. Its too much to lpook at. breaking everything up into react modules is the whole point. so why isnt the code more modular_

I feel the the React and Redux labs are just thrown at you such that you don't really get to reinforce what you have learned in the videos. The approach should have been similar to what was in the HTML course. There should be labs where you just get more familiar with the boilerplate code in a practical setting. That way you would have a better understanding of why components, stores, hooks and etc. are set up the way they are.

It's better if you provide practical examples rather than just theory.

The redux part is not good at all, I had to go watch other videos on the topic to be able to understand and complete the project.
