Video description

The course starts with React fundamentals including components, props, hooks, state, and so on. Then learn about React hooks such as useState, useEffect, useContext, useReducer, and useRef. Next, you will create custom hooks and see React Router v6.

Then, you will learn how to handle the global state with context, reducers, and hooks.

You will see Firebase 9 authentication, queries, storage, and deploy React apps to Vercel and Netlify. Basic animation with Framer Motion, implementing Leaflet maps and Swiper sliders, and working on full-stack MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) are some of the highlights of this course.

All these concepts are explained practically with the help of four different apps/projects. If you have not used React before, the Feedback App project will help you learn the fundamentals of React. The GitHub Finder project further explores the management of the app-level state by introducing actions and reducers. You will work with third-party APIs.

The House Marketplace app will introduce you to Firebase and prepare you to learn a lot about its capabilities as a platform for user authentication, cloud file storage, and a dedicated NoSQL database. Finally, the final project (full-stack MERN support ticket system) is a full-fledged full-stack app that uses Redux and Redux Toolkit.

By the end of the course, you will have built four projects with all the concepts taught. You will also have gained enough confidence and skillset to kickstart your journey with React.
