This is a 1 day course packed with the perfect balance of theory and hands-on activities that will help you get started with React.

React is widely used to create fast and reusable user interface components. It has been remarkably successful in recent years, since it is easy to use and offers a coherent design model.

React’s ease of use depends on an actual understanding of the core concepts of the library. By exploiting these concepts, you can build a high-quality design interface.

You’ll find helpful tips and tricks, as well as useful self-assessment material, exercises, and activities to help benchmark your progress and reinforce what you’ve learned.
