Description

React (a.k.a. ReactJS or React.js) is a popular component-based JavaScript library used for easy creation of powerful, interactive UIs. This React training course will provide an introduction to the benefits of the React JavaScript framework, so course participants can start to develop applications quickly using the framework.

Students will be introducted to the React JavaScript library and covers essentials such as using Create React App, defining components, writing and styling JSX elements, passing props, using state and registering event handlers. Students will also learn how to use React Hooks, the Context API, Lifecycle Methods and how to implement global state using the Redux JavaScript library.

Comprehensive hands on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency.
