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.
