About This Course

An introductory guide to help you understand the core concepts that underpin the React.js JavaScript framework

This course provides a beginner's introduction to the powerful and ever-more popular React.js JavaScript framework. It has been designed for anyone who is already familiar with HTML and JavaScript, and perhaps already using another JavaScript framework, but wanting to understand the basics of React.js. React.js is quite a significant departure from most other JavaScript frameworks and it can be tricky to "get it". Key to "getting" React.js is understanding its key underlying concepts, so that's what this short course will focus on, through a mixture of diagrams and the creation of a simple working application.

  • understand the core concepts behind React.js

  • begin to develop simple React.js applications

  • have the confidence to move on to more advanced React.js courses

The content of the course is concise and easily understandable and the way the instructor is delivering the lectures is engaging and easy to follow. Extremely useful for people who are just getting into React but can be useful for people with some experience working with react if they want to re-visit the basic concepts of React development.

I very much appreciate Rob's style in this course. I recognized before taking his course that it was now 5 year old and would require some effort on my part to make the code samples work. I chose to dive in and do just that. His high level overview of just exactly what React JS is and how it works, is great. If you're worried about the code samples not working, I actually went thru them all and made working versions using current practices (as of January 2020) and posted links to where I found the answers, etc. If you're looking for a quick overview, and don't mind doing a little digging in the current documentation, I still think there are plenty of gems in here.

Just what I needed. I needed to quickly understand the basics of React and how you would implement an app using it and that is what this course does in a clear, understandable and concise way architecturally and practically. Thanks.
