About This Course

The Astonishing Power of High Performance JS (Without The Headache). Brought to You By Facebook and Instagram as React

Stop struggling to code front-end the hard way. React is performing fast DOM manipulations and is easy to learn. No more events attached to the DOM elements. Just declare in React and it will do the necessary manipulations for you (declarative style).

This course is designed for web developers who are familiar with JavaScript and interested in using React as a view layer for their front-end web apps.

Warning: React by Facebook is Taking Over The World

I stumbled upon some guy from Zurich, Switzerland who was arguing that you don't need MVC (model, view, controller) with Reactjs.

What?

I love controversial topics! How refreshing to hear such a brave opinion after almost a decade of MVC-domitaion.

Anyway, I really suck at Angular.

It's just weird to me to use directives in HTML.

It's almost like using HTML to code JavaScript.

I never got used to it. At the same time, I keep hearing good things about React.

That's why I had this idea of learning myself and teaching you Reactjs (with this course).

I used the same approach 4 years ago when I wrote my first book on Nodejs.

It became Amazon #1 Best Seller in the Client-Server category and helped a few thousand engineers.

7 Ways To ROCK With Reactjs

Reactjs is a JavaScript library.

It's used for creating user interfaces (UIs).

It's created and used by giants such as Facebook and Instagram.

Millions of people use apps built on Reactjs.

Think of Reactjs as the View in Model, View, Controller.

The difference between Backbonejs, Angularjs and Reactjs is that Reactjs creates its own virtual DOM (Document Object Model) for pages' components.

You work with them, not the DOM.

This provides tremendous flexibility and awesome performance,

because Reactjs knows the needed changes beforehand and updates the DOM tree accordingly.

This allows to avoid unnecessary DOM operations and makes updates more effective.

Here are some of other advantages of Reactjs:

  • Decoupling

  • Increased cohesion using a component model

  • Abstraction,

  • Composition

  • Expressivity

  • Virtual DOM & Synthetic events (which basically means they completely re-implemented the DOM and its event system)

  • Enables modern HTML5 event stuff on IE 8 Server-side rendering Testability Bindings to SVG, VML, and <canvas>

Only Wise People Can Qualify

Smart people learn on their mistakes while wise learn on mistakes of others. Save time with this course...

I published nine books on JavaScript and Nodejs that have been downloaded or bought by over 10,000 developers.

In addition to that, I have experience in online courses.

Three of my courses have over 2,000 students enrolled.

I'm not bragging.

I'm only making a point that I am capable of delivery once the demand is proven by the campaign. :-)

I worked with Backbonejs before. I'm not an expert on Reactjs. I haven't build anything production-ready with it (yet).

This will give me the advantage of a beginner's mind.

That is I won't have the knowledge curse and will be able to explain everything in the layman's terms.

Waste of space on the cloud, better to read the docs.

Content is extremely basic and not worth the money. Better to just read the docs.

The examples are very clear and suitable to explain the basic idea of react.
The best speed of this course is 1.25 times for me.

I saw the course at 2x because the instructor talks super slow and was a little bored learning every basic concept slide by slide. The final project is super simple and only grasps the very basic concepts of React. Is a good starting point but don't expect to be ready to develop a big app after taking this course.

It seems that the more we advance in the course, the more rushed the author seems to finish it. It seems that he did lack time towards the end and just rushed through the last lectures. The pace is quite fast and for someone who is not an expert in JavaScript or in the whole component-based concept, you will need to re-run many of the lectures and analyze the code files slowly by yourself in order to make some sense of them.

I found that this is more of an intermediate JavaScript coder's course because the author doesn't explain everything that he writes in the code. He just verbalizes what he is writing in the code files and doesn't always explain the details. It is ok if you are familiar with JavaScript and Node.js, Express.js, etc. but otherwise, you will need to do some analysis to understand why the author coded some lines the way he did. I am not saying he doesn't explain anything he is coding, I am just mentioning that there are some parts in the code that are left to the viewer to decrypt. There are moments when a beginner will wonder "why" the author wrote some lines of code.

I have mixed feelings about this course. I appreciate the fact that the author kept it relatively short (approx. 3 hrs.) for someone to be able to quickly evaluate React.js as a technology. On the other end, I don't think that the viewer will feel confident that he/she understands even the basic principles well enough to begin using React.js. If you are an intermediate JavaScript coder, you will certainly be able to realize the potential that React.js has. You will definitely get some knowledge out of this course. Is it worth the regular asking price ? Personally, I don't think so. But I still enjoyed it.

The viewer has to keep in mind that he/she will have to find other resources in order to get a more in-depth overview of React.js.

As for the quality of the audio/video/overall presentation, I think it is ok, but could use some improvement. The audio levels are uneven, and the speech of the author is not always clear. The video quality and the presentation are good, except that in some lectures, the code is too small to be easily readable. Not a major issue since you can download all the code files but these parts would need some zooming in the video images.

The author just briefly goes through some terms in React. I think it makes no difference reading the official doc myself. I would like it better if the course were to introduction each concept of React using one example. Not fancy this explanation-of-terms-then-hello-world way.

The pace of speaking is slow and muddy, video quality is poor that I can't see the code clearly.
