Hands-On Introduction: React

When you learn a new framework, you sometimes get to start fresh, from scratch, with plenty of time. Other times, though, you need to dive right in and get things done. This hands-on course helps you quickly get up to speed with React—the popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces—by allowing you to change code directly as you follow along. Instructor Ray Villalobos highlights the aspects of React that set it apart from other JavaScript libraries, including how to approach templating and React Hooks. He then details how to build with React and use it in a web project.

The best way to learn a framework is to use it in practice. That’s why this course is integrated with GitHub Codespaces, an instant cloud developer environment that offers all the functionality of your favorite IDE without the need for any local machine setup. With GitHub Codespaces, you can get hands-on practice from any machine, at any time—all while using a tool that you’ll likely encounter in the workplace. Check out the “Using GitHub Codespaces with this course” video to learn how to get started.
