The Outline
Course Overview
- Introduction, Philosophy, and Tips
- Projects (What you'll build)
- State of React
We'll start the course off with some housekeeping items. You'll learn about the best strategy for getting the most out of the course as well as what you'll build and the current state of React.
Passing Data to Components
- Introduction to Props
- (Quiz) Props
- (Practice) Props
- (Solution) Props
With any component based system you need a way to pass data into component. In this section, we'll cover how to do that in React with props.
Functional Components
- Pure Functions
- (Quiz) Pure Functions
- (Project) Language Nav
With React there are two ways to create components. In this section, you'll learn one of those ways utilizing pure functions.
Handling Form State
- (Project) Battle Instructions
- Forms in React: Controlled vs Uncontrolled Components
- (Project) Player Input
- (Project) Render PlayerInput
- (Project) Player Preview
- (Project) Results Skeleton
- (Project) API
- (Project) Results Data
- (Project) Results UI
Handling form state can be different than handling component state in React. In this section you'll learn both approaches as well as their tradeoffs.
Intermission
- Check in
Everything after this section is what I would consider 'Advanced React'. This section is to make sure you're where you need to be to continue on.
React Router

Production Builds and Hosting
- Building React Apps for Production
- (Quiz) Building for Production
- (Project) Production Build
- (Project) Hosting with Netlify
What's the point of building an app if you can't host it? In this section you'll not only learn how to host a React application, but first how to build your React app for production to make it more performant.
React Overview
- Why React?
- The React Ecosystem
- (Bonus) Imperative vs Declarative Programming
- (Bonus) Composition vs Inheritance
Whenever you learn a new tool, you should first ask yourself why it's necessary. If you can't answer that question, you may not need it. In this section, we'll answer that question in regards to React as well as cover some other programming fundamentals that React utilizes.
Rendering Lists
- Rendering Lists in React
- (Quiz) Lists
- (Practice) Lists
- (Solution) Lists
- (Project) Popular Navar
As a front-end developer, you eventually come to the reality that you're a glorified list creator. In this section you'll learn how to create performant lists in React.
Validating Props with PropTypes
- PropTypes
- (Practice) PropTypes
- (Solution) PropTypes
- (Project) Language Nav PropTypes
Things go wrong when you get your types mixed up. In this section you'll learn how to minimize that by using PropTypes.
Composition with React children
- children in React
- (Project) Reusable Card Component
- (Project) Profile List
- (Project) Reset Players
Composition is at the heart of React. In this section you'll learn about React's 'children' feature which allows you to compose components more elegantly.
Code Sharing in React
- Higher Order Components
- (Quiz) Higher Order Components
- (Project) Tooltip
- (Project) withHover Higher Order Component
- React Render Props
- (Quiz) Render Props
- (Project) Hover Render Prop
The problem is coupling UI to a component is it makes it hard to reshare non-visual logic. In this section you'll learn two strategies for best accomplishing that - Higher-order components and Render Props.
Better Classes with Class Fields
- Class Fields
- (Quiz) Class Fields
- (Project) Migrating to Class Fields
In this section you'll learn how to utilize JavaScript's new Class Fields feature to make your React components more concise.
Bonus Time
- (Bonus) React Interview Questions
- (Bonus) React 'AHA' Moments
- Next Steps
In this section you'll learn everything else about React that you need to know that didn't fit into the normal flow of the course.

- (Quiz) NPM
- Webpack: A Gentle Introduction
- (Quiz) Webpack
- (Project) First Component
- (Bonus) React Elements vs React Components
- JSX Tips for Beginners

There's more to learning how to build React apps than React itself. In this section you'll learn those topics which include NPM and Webpack.
Managing State
- The 'this' keyword: Intro and Implicit Binding
- The 'this' keyword: Explicit binding with .call, .apply, and .bind

What good would a component model be without reusability. In this section you'll learn how to create highly reusable React components.
Bypassing Props with React Context
- React Context
- (Quiz) Context
- (Project) Theme Provider
- (Project) Toggle Theme
- (Project) Consume Theme
Sometimes you need to pass data deep into the component tree. In this section you'll learn how to do that using React's context feature.
Performance Gains with Code Splitting

- (Quiz) Code Splitting
- (Project) Code Split
In this section you'll learn how to code split your applications for increased performance gains.
The Love
This is the part where we're supposed to tell you how great the course is. Even better if we get other "famous" developers to give their "reviews". Instead, we'll let those who have actually taken the course do that.

- EVAN J SCALLAN★★★★★2 months ago
All-encompassing, fantastic, hands-on way to learn ReactJS. The only recommendation I might have is some clarification on React Router versions (and any other portion should the process become deprecated). Cheers!
