What is this course all about?

This course is about React - a library that helps developers to create user interfaces on the web. But React is not limited only to user interfaces, there is much more to that.

Have you ever wondered how Facebook, Twitter, or Netflix websites are built and why they don't feel like websites at all? React can answer all of that. In this course, we show how to create mobile-feel-like websites (Single Page Apps) where React is the foundation.

First, we will guide you through the basics of web development before jumping into React. Here we will talk about the latest JavaScript, Node.JS, Git, APIs, and essential tools to make you feel as comfortable as possible at any stage of the development process.

Then we slightly move to React with a small portion of theory. At this point, you will get to know what React is made of and how it works.

Our first project is a Tic-Tac-Toe game. Here you will get to know React basics, hooks and core functionality. By the end of this project, you will be able to create a simple web app that shows off your strong React basics. Here you will experience the development flow of a React app in general.

The second project is a movie search web-app called Box Office. With this project, we move towards more complex React use-cases and we start working with external APIs, dynamic layout and pages combined with different approaches for styling a React app. Here we will work with more advanced and custom React Hooks. At the end of this project we will analyse and optimize the app with React hooks to make it even more faster and reliable. We will even turn it into a Progressive Web App that works offline!

The final project is going to be a Chat app. It will include the following features: social media logins, account management, role-based permissions, real-time data, and lots of others. In this project we will combine React with Firebase - a backend solution in the cloud, powered by NoSQL database. You will master global state management with Context API and sharpen your knowledge of React hooks. At the final stage, we will extend the app with custom backend in form of serverless.

All of our projects will have a user-friendly and well-designed user interface that is responsive and optimized for all devices.
