  Designed for developers, by developers.

  Learn how to build, maintain and launch real-world web applications through this 10-session React Bootcamp. Combining theory and application, you will produce your own apps and complete the program with the core knowledge required to deeply understand and begin building and testing robust web apps in React.

  Initially developed by Facebook, React is a framework used in many large-scale businesses around the world, such as Facebook, Netflix, Airbnb, and Uber. A front-runner amongst frameworks, React provides libraries to create feature-rich applications in the fields of Web Development, Mobile, and VR. Considered a user-interface framework, React allows you to code complex front-end applications with minimal resource allocation and easy scaling, and unlike most other Javascript frameworks, React is built in such a way that it pushes good coding practices, such as code reuse and data abstraction.
  

  Through this program, you will master leading edge skills and increase your capacity to compete in local and global markets of mobile development. This hands-on, classroom-based program uses an established boot camp model to provide high-end coding skills for beginner to intermediate developers. The program outline includes:

  Module 1: React Introduction and Setting up your Environment
  Module 2: React Components and Basics
  Module 3: Component Events and Attributes
  Module 4: Styling React – Functionality and Aesthetics
  Module 5: Routing with React-Router
  Module 6: Sharing State and Data with Redux
  Module 7: Accessing Third-Party Components and APIs
  Module 8: Using Firebase with React
  Module 9: Testing and Troubleshooting your Application
  Module 10: Deploying your Application

  Component-based architecture is where front-end development is going, so whether you’re starting development of your new product, looking for a front-end overhaul, or even just seeing what’s out there, React can add value to your business.

  This program is for you, if you…

  • have junior to advanced development experience (knowledge of JavaScript and ES6 is an asset)
  • are a front end developer looking to upgrade your skills
  • are deciding which framework to code your interface with
