This advanced React course is designed for developers who want to deepen their understanding of React while working on hands-on projects. The journey begins with building a basic calculator in React, which introduces fundamental concepts like JSX, functional components, and React State Hooks. You’ll explore how to handle events, pass parameters in callbacks, and debug applications, providing a strong foundation for more complex projects. Along the way, you’ll master the use of props and state to manage data flow between components, a crucial skill in React development. The next project is a Connect-4 clone, where you’ll apply your React knowledge to build an interactive game. This project emphasizes component design, event handling, and dynamic styling. You'll explore advanced concepts such as lifecycle methods, state management with hooks, and conditional rendering. Additionally, you’ll learn to implement a simple AI for a smart computer player and deploy the project using platforms like Netlify and Surge. The final project focuses on building a full-featured ecommerce site. Starting with setting up a JSON server, you’ll fetch data, render product lists, and use React Router to create dynamic pages. Throughout the project, you’ll refine your skills in managing state and props, styling components with CSS and Styled Components, and handling errors in API calls. You’ll also implement key ecommerce functionalities like a shopping basket, checkout process, and order confirmation, ensuring you’re well-prepared to build scalable ecommerce applications using React.
