Course Overview
Hello everyone. My name is Samer Buna. I work at jsComplete where we create interactive educational content to help people learn coding. Welcome to this React.js: Getting Started course, from Pluralsight, covering the latest stateful function components with the all new React Hooks. React is a simple and powerful library that is used in many big web and mobile applications today. I personally use React in most of the projects I’m involved in. It helps me be fast and productive. In this course, I cover the new, simple way using function components with Hooks, and the other more verbose way, using class components. This is a fully hands‑on course where I’ll be building small, practical applications with React. There will be no foo or bar in this course, and I try to avoid contrived examples as much as possible. Learning to code is a practical experience. Try to do and redo the examples I’ll present in this course and try to expand their scope and challenge yourself with every piece of knowledge that you learn. Some of the topics that we will cover in this course include React’s design concepts, function and class components and their benefits, JSX and event handlers, working with data and APIs, React Hooks for state and side effects, taking input from the user, communicating between components, React one‑way flow of data, and creating your own local development environment for React. By the end of this course, you should be comfortable working with function and class components in React, manage an application state, and be able to build simple React applications from scratch. This course is a beginner‑level course on the React.js library. No previous knowledge about React itself is needed, but you do need to be comfortable with the JavaScript language to get the most out of this course. I hope you’ll join me on this journey to learn the basics of the excellent React.js library in this Getting Started course, at Pluralsight.
