React 19 (Including NextJS) (Hands-on)

Do you want to write interactive applications in HTML and JavaScript? Or are you already writing Single Page Applications, but is the HTML filled with unmaintainable semi code? Is data binding debugging and performance causing you headaches? Don't you remember how data findsits way to the user interface?

«The instructor, Rick, was incredible. He had a wealth of subject matter knowledge, an amazing set of course material developed over several years, going far beyond the minimum required to teach the course, with all sorts of examples, bonus material and exercises. Rick managed to adapt his course to the varied level of web and general software industry experience between the different participants, keeping everyone involved and engaged. He had a pleasant and well spoken manner. This React, Redux and Router course is easily one of the very best I've attended.» Salve Spinnangr, Skatteetaten

 

Lets react!

Facebook created a functional approach to tackle traditional complexities in JavaScript: React (open
source). Maligned in 2013, embraced since 2015 by the dominant websites in the world. Lets build fast
components in a lasting and meaningful way.

In this course you will learn all about React, hooks and its ecosystem. For example, TypeScript, NextJS and
Redux are covered and used.

Students, depending on their own project requirements, can choose to do exercises with a focus on React
(Vite) or NextJS and a focus on JavaScript or TypeScript. Solutions for all situations are provided.

New React functionality will be added to the course as soon as they are published.

Afterwards you are able to add React parts immediately to both existing and new websites.

Prerequisites:

This course is intended for professional developers who are familiar with HTML and JavaScript 5
