Course Description

Did you start learning React but you are struggling to grasp the most import concepts such as: Redux, server-side rendering in React or how to build your own API?
In this course you will learn:
  • how to develop scalable web applications by managing the "state" in Redux
  • how to implement Universal or Isomorphic React applications to maximise performance and SEO compliancy
  • how to build APIs with Node Express js and MongoDB
  • How to deploy your app to AWS (Amazon Web Services) or to Heroku.
Bonus material:
  • in the course you will find an eBook with all code & changes lecture by lecture!
If you want to become a professional React web developer, it is critical to master Redux and server-side rendering.

Redux allows you to manage the state in React in a convenient and flexible fashion. Without Redux, you will never be able to develop scalable apps.
Server-side rendering, it is critical for performances and SEO compliancy. Without understanding server-side rendering, you will never be able to develop commercially valuable web applications.
Initially, I will be focusing on explaining the concepts and patters in React js (MERN stack) and writing the bear minimum code to make easier for you to absorb all new notions without distraction, but later in the course you will write an entire React js Shopping-cart application from scratch.
It will give you the opportunity to consolidate all your learnings in a challenging project!
By developing an entire shopping-cart, you will be exposed to the most critical patterns in React js web development allowing you to build complex and scalable web application on your own after the course.
THIS COURSE IS NOT FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS. Beside a basic knowledge of html and javascript the students must have a good understanding of "state" and "props" in React.
In principle, if you are able to write a basic "To-do" app in React, you will not encounter any problem on understanding the lectures and benefit from the course.
THE CODE IS ES6 WITHOUT SYNTACTIC SUGAR to make the code less cryptic and more readable and transparent to those who don't have much experience in javascript. If you are an experienced javascript developer, you will have no issue to adopt any syntactic sugar you wish on the fly.
You can find the entire source code in the e-book attached in the last section of the course.
Who this course is for:
  • Someone who started learning React but finds difficult to grasp some of the critical topics to build an entire app independently
  • Someone who wants to learn server-side rendering and build Universal or Isomorphic React app
  • Someone who wants to understand most critical patterns involved on building an e-commerce application

This course is absolutely awesome. I've learned a lot from it, even if I felt overwhelmed by the quantity of information. All in all, I think it's the BEST course for someone who wants to mix React, Node and MondoDb in order to create a complete application.

By Matthew Anderson

The best resource I've found for a deep understanding of Redux. Many other tutorials or books throw Redux in as an afterthought into a more complicated application which makes it tough to pick up what is really going on. Thanks!

By Moataz El Wesimy

great progressive course however i think it is better to go with the best practice from the beginning rather than building and then refactoring , it gets more confusing this way.

overall very good progression

By Kumar Krishnamoorthy

Pretty good overall --

however, the sections dealing with logging in & using sessions

did not register in my mind..

maybe, you should edit that part/explain better..

By Leah P Watt

I thought this was a fantastic course and really appreciated Marco as an instructor. I absolutely loved the supplemental PDF, which turned out to be the perfect debugging tool. Marco's explanations were clear and detailed; however, there were times when he wrote code without explanation and I wasn't totally sure what was going on. The pace was also quite brisk and I typically had to stop and/or rewind a video several times to review or keep up with writing the code. However, in his defense, I think that is often the case with online learning and one should expect to do it regardless.

I would recommend this course if you've already had some exposure to React and are looking for supplemental tutorials. However, for total newbies, you might find yourself struggling a bit. In either case, Marco definitely knows what he's doing.

THANK YOU for a great course!

Very helpful, quickly to understand and setup React project in short time. Clear explanation by instructor.

Highly recommended.

By Isaac Hayes

I usually try to keep my critiques positive. I took this course to look into isomorphic rendering and deploying to aws. I already am a seasoned react dev, and saw some issues and redundancies in this project. i.e the use of the proxy server when both the client and backend can be on the same server. If it's just an example I can understand that, but you should make that clear. I also think you should define the dependences and their properties you use so it makes sense to the beginning users

By Alex Kyprianou

Well written, easy step by step courses which make react and redux way simpler than it looks. Marco is also very responsive and helpful. Fully deserves 5 stars!

By Aleksander Golaszewski

It is a very comprehensive course about building web application with modern technologies. There is also some emphasis on code architecture and on good coding practices. I highly recommend this course for mid-developers. I think the moment has come and it is the time for the author to fix the mistakes recorded in the videos and update them accordingly.

By Ronly Leung

Great course. Highlight: Marco installed each package and gave a quick run down of the configurations to setup each additional package. As an web dev learning a more modern stack, this process of showing the setup of webpack and different tools such as nodemon and Robo 3T provide value beyond the course.

By Tipper Truong

This was my 3rd React/Redux course I've taken on Udemy and safe to say, this course helped solidify my understanding of MERN Stack as a whole. I just finished the course and Marco was able to break down the concepts very well compare to other courses I've taken. If you don't fully understand React/Redux and would like to understand more, this is definitely the course for you. Thanks Marco!

Its not a explained course and its not intermedia level. Nothing has explained... Not liked... I do not recommend.
