Syllabus

Custom Hooks

In this module, we will dive into React's custom hooks. We will cover how to create and implement custom hooks for managing reusable logic, such as form state and validation. You'll learn to optimize your code structure by encapsulating complex logic into reusable functions.

Advanced React Patterns

In this module, we will explore advanced patterns for building reusable and maintainable React components. Topics such as Render Props, Compound Components, and HOCs will be covered, helping you create more flexible and scalable applications. You will also learn about patterns that allow for better state management and prop handling.

Optimising React Performance with Memoization, Virtualization, Suspense, etc.

In this module, we will focus on improving React application performance. You will learn how to optimize rendering using memoization techniques, lazy loading components, and virtualizing large lists. Additionally, we will teach you how to use React DevTools Profiler to identify and fix performance issues.

Routing & Navigation in React (with React Router 7 / latest React 19 syntax)

In this module, we will cover routing and navigation within React applications. You'll learn how to configure nested routes, handle dynamic URL parameters, and apply route protection based on authentication status. This section will also explore techniques for implementing efficient and flexible routing structures.

Forms - Validation & Advanced

In this module, we will delve into advanced form handling in React. You will learn to manage form data, validate inputs using react-hook-form and Yup, and create custom input components for complex forms. This section will ensure that you can implement robust, scalable form solutions in your React applications.

Data Fetching & State Management (React TanStack / Zustand, Redux Toolkit)

In this module, we will explore data fetching and state management in React. You will learn how to fetch data from APIs using fetch and useEffect, manage global state with Zustand, and utilize Redux Toolkit for complex state logic. Additionally, we will cover error handling to ensure seamless user experiences.

React 19 Testing

In this module, we will focus on testing React components. You will learn how to use testing libraries to test the rendering and behavior of components, including form fields and conditional rendering. We will also dive into snapshot testing and simulating user events to ensure your components work as expected.

Client/Server Side Rendering - SSG - ISR Concepts and Comparisons

In this module, we will explore the various rendering techniques available in React, including SSR, SSG, and ISR. You will gain an understanding of when to use each method to improve performance and scalability. This section will equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about rendering strategies.

Next.js 16 - A Comprehensive Course

In this module, we will dive deep into Next.js 16, exploring its powerful features such as file-based routing, SSR/SSG/ISR, and server-side logic. You'll learn how to set up a Next.js project, integrate client-server components, and leverage API routes for full-stack development. This section will prepare you to build scalable and efficient Next.js applications.
