This is a 4-day hands-on course covering Object Oriented and Functional programming in Javascript using React and Redux. You will learn the core principles and fundamentals of React. You will master how to develop and refine a sense for applying Redux for state management.
The course is taught by Senior Engineers with several years of experience in front end and full stack applications.
Who should attend
This course is intended for anyone involved in software engineering, specifically front end, and particularly for:
- Software Engineers wanting to improve their skills and career prospects as front-end developers.
Prerequisites
This course assumes at least an intermediate understanding of Javascript.
What you will learn
