React is the most widely used front end development technology in 2022, and for good reason.

In this course, we take a hands-on approach to exploring React at a foundational level through three key concepts: React is declarative, React is component-based, React is composable.

We use React 18 and create-react-app to create three small apps.

Plain language is used to relate abstract concepts such as components, composability, and state to real world examples.

Some of the things we will do are:

Run create-react-app in the terminal to generate our boilerplate App

Write function components from scratch to create three small React Apps

Explore React State both conceptually and practically

Explore the State Object and see how the useState() hook manages the State Object for us

Manage State in our App with the useState() hook

Discuss ways to improve scalability and performance in our App

Nest components and pass props

At the end of this course, you can expect to have a solid foundation of React understanding that you can build on in whatever direction you like: whether you are interested in becoming a React specialist, whether you're just looking to add another tool to your Developer tool belt, or whether you simply wish to gain an understanding of React at a foundational level.
