Introduction to React and Redux

What's this course about?  Learn React and Redux by coding examples. Learn all aspects of the most popular JavaScript framework today using simple but very powerful examples.  For a long time, JavaScript has been the key element of the world wide web. Historically, it's been used for front end validations, dynamic menus, making some AJAX requests etc.  But things have changed since the introduction of Single Page Applications (SPAs). The first major such framework was Angularjs (1.x) from Google, which eventually made way to the new Angular 2, which now is called just Angular. Angular is a very complete framework addressing each and every issue that an application needs.  Developers at Facebook released a completely different kind of framework called React (or ReactJS), which uses a combination of plain JavaScript and HTML elements (in XML syntax), called JSX. Unlike the Angular framework, this one simply addresses the View part of MVC. The main goal of a React application is to breakdown the entire web application into a bunch HTML-like elements called Components. A component defines the visual appearance of your UI, while converting the data it holds into user interface elements.  Using these components, you can quickly develop amazing and powerful web apps. These components are completely reusable.  This course will start from ground zero and explain what exactly React is and how you may use it (and for which kind of apps). Thereafter, we'll go all the way from basic to advanced. We'll not just scratch the surface but dive deeply into React as well as popular libraries like react-router and Redux.  By the end of the course, you can build amazing React applications!
