React.js is THE most popular JavaScript library you can use and learn these days to build modern, reactive user interfaces for the web.
This course teaches you React in-depth, from the ground up, step by step by diving into all the core basics, exploring tons of examples and also introducing you to advanced concepts as well.
You’ll get all the theory, tons of examples and demos, assignments and exercises and tons of important knowledge that is skipped by most other resources – after all, there is a reason why this course is that huge! 🙂
And in case you don’t even know why you would want to learn React and you’re just here because of some ad or “the algorithm” – no worries: ReactJS is a key technology as a web developer and in this course I will also explain WHY it’s that important!
Welcome to “React – The Complete Guide”!

This is a huge course because it really covers EVERYTHING you need to know and learn to become a React.js developer!
No matter if you know nothing about React or if you already got some basic React knowledge (not required but also not a problem), you will get tons of useful information and knowledge out of this course!
My goal with this course is to ensure that you feel confident working with React, so that you can apply for React jobs, use it in your own projects or simply enhance your portfolio as a developer – whatever your goal is: This course gets you there!

Getting Started
Learning alone is absolutely fine but finding learning partners might be a nice thing, too. Our learning community is a great place to learn and grow together - of course it's 100% free and optional!
JavaScript Refresher
Let me introduce you to this module and to what you're going to learn in it.
One important next-gen feature you're going to see a lot is the usage of "const" and "let" instead of "var". What's up with these keywords? This lecture answers the question.
Arrow functions are another key next-gen feature we'll heavily use in this course. Let's dive into how to write them and how to use them in this lecture.
We'll write modular code in this course. That means, that the code will be split up across multiple files. In order to connect these files correctly, we'll need imports and exports. So let's dive into that feature in this lecture.
The "class" keyword is another new feature you'll see quite a bit in this course. Learn what it's about in this lecture.
Classes may have properties and methods. There actually are different ways of defining these. Let's dive into the details in this lecture.
React also makes heavy usage of the "Spread" operator. Or React projects do, to be precise. Learn more about that new operator in this lecture.
Time to destructure! It's a new JavaScript feature and it allows you to ... do what? Let's explore the feature in this lecture.
Not next-gen but super important: Knowing the difference between reference and primitive types. This lecture will explore both.
We'll use a lot of array functions in this course. They're not next-gen but you need to feel confident working with them. So let's explore them in this lecture.
Let me wrap this module up and summarize what we learned thus far.
Have a look at this lecture to get a good overview over the various next-gen JS features you'll encounter in this course.
Here's something we'll also use quite a bit in this course: Some JavaScript array functions.
React Basics & Working With Components
In this course module, you learned about key React features which you must know for every React app you're going to build! Hence it's time to check what you learned and verify that we're all on the same page!
