Syllabus

Introduction

In this module, we will set the stage for your React learning journey. We’ll cover essential concepts like the Virtual DOM, JSX, and the basic structure of a React app. This module ensures you have a solid foundation before diving into more advanced topics, making you ready to build efficient React applications.

Basic Knowledge

In this module, we will introduce core React concepts like JSX and the Virtual DOM, which are key to building optimized user interfaces. You'll understand why React uses className instead of class, the difference between functional and class components, and how data flows through props and state. This section provides the essential knowledge you need to start coding React applications confidently.

Advanced Knowledge

In this module, we will dive into advanced React features like hooks and optimization techniques. You’ll learn about useState, useEffect, and other hooks that allow you to manage state and side effects efficiently. We’ll also introduce custom hooks and performance enhancements like React.memo and code-splitting with React.lazy to help you create high-performance applications.

State Management

In this module, we will focus on managing application state with Redux and React Query. You’ll learn how to implement Redux using plain JavaScript and integrate it with React to handle state across large applications. Additionally, you’ll explore Redux Toolkit to simplify state management and improve development efficiency.

Homework

In this module, we will assign practical homework tasks that will reinforce the React concepts learned throughout the course. These tasks will give you hands-on experience with React's core features and state management tools, helping you to better prepare for frontend interviews and real-world projects.
