React

The React course comprises sessions dealing with setting up for and creating a React app, JSX and element rendering, components and props, state and lifecycle, hooks, event handling, lists and keys, forms, composition and inheritance, React Router, Flux, and Redux. React Native is not covered on this course.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

• Setting up a React project
• Coding ES6 arrow functions and classes
• Using Node, webpack and Babel
• Creating a React app
• Embedding JSX tags in JavaScript code
• Creating and rendering components
• Managing component props and state
• Managing local state using Hooks as an alternative to classes
• Managing a component's lifecycle
• Event handling
• Creating and rendering lists of components
• Creating and extracting information from a form within a component
• Creating composite components
• Using React Router to build an SPA
• Using Flux to manage application state
• Using Redux to manage application state

The React course is designed for JavaScript developers who are interested in using React to build fast, single page, client-side web applications.

This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to build a Single Page Application (SPA) composed of React components and incorporating React Router. The delegate will also be exposed to application state containers including Flux and Redux and local state management via Hooks.

Delegates should be able to:

• Build and style simple web pages using HTML & CSS
• Build JavaScript applications that exploit all fundamental elements of the language including variables and expressions, conditions and loops, functions, objects, arrays, the DOM, and event handling

This knowledge can be gained by attendance on the pre-requisite HTML & CSS and JavaScript 1 courses.

• HTML & CSS
• JavaScript 1

• HTML5 & CSS3 with JavaScript
• JavaScript 2
• PHP Programming

• Course technical content is subject to change without notice.
• Course content is structured as sessions, this does not strictly map to course timings. Concepts, content and practicals often span sessions.
