About This Course
A step-by-step guide to component-driven development using React
NOTE: This course uses React 15.3.2
React JS re-imagines the web user interface by breaking complex UI down into granular, reusable components. Learn ReactJS by example: from basic building blocks to animations and routing using React add-ons
Let's parse that.
Re-imagines the web user interface: React is not a framework, it is a library focused on building web UI which is compact, robust, maintainable and reactive to user and server updates.
In this course, we will learn by example. Each example is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a specific React use-case. Each example is simple by itself, but they come together as building blocks to build complex use cases.
What's included in this course:
React basics: React nodes, fragments and components, performance optimizations using the virtual DOM, the Babel compiler for JSX transformation, passing data to components using state and props, the spread operator, synthetic events
React in-depth: The React component lifecycle, the component mounting, updating and unmounting phases, mixins, ES6 classes to specify React components, controlled components, forms and validation, accessing native DOM elements, the React context, DOM reconciliation
React in production environments: npm, Webpack, Babel 6 and JSX to build React code in a production environment, animations using transition groups and CSS transition groups, single page applications and routing
Decompose complex UI into simple and reusable components using React and JSX
Use props and state in the right way with components
Customize components using React lifecycle methods

The course content is dated using React 15 and old Webpack and babel versions. With that being said, the explanations and intuition of React are explained at a really high level. This makes the course still worth taking in my opinion as many of the examples still work with a little bit of googling. Hey, you're a developer it shouldn't hurt that bad. Lastly, if you want an in-depth understanding of React its worth it just to watch explanation videos as the content is superb.
