Course Description

Welcome to Getting Started with React Hooks!

This course offers a comprehensive overview of React Hooks, the latest feature introduced in the popular React library for building dynamic front end interfaces.

A hook is a plain JavaScript function that "hooks" into existing React features like state, lifecycle methods, and context. In the official documentation, the core React team writes that, in due time, they "expect Hooks to be the primary way people write React components".

Getting Started with React Hooks begins with the essentials and proceeds to more complex topics including:

  • The useState hook

  • The useEffect hook

  • The useContext hook

  • Custom hooks

In addition to hooks, the course is packed with optional lessons to enhance your knowledge of core JavaScript and React concepts. These topics include:

  • Stateless functional and class-based React components

  • Lifecycle methods

  • Array and object destructuring

  • Closures

  • Event Listeners

  • The React Context API

No matter your skill level, the content is designed to get you up to speed on React Hooks as quickly as possible.

Thanks for checking out the course!

Instructor Details

Boris Paskhaver

Hi there, it's nice to meet you! I'm a New York City-based software engineer, author, and consultant who's been teaching on Udemy since 2016.

Like many of my peers, I did not follow a conventional approach to my current role as a web developer. After graduating from New York University in 2013 with a degree in Business Economics and Marketing, I worked as a business analyst, systems administrator, and data analyst for a variety of companies including a digital marketing agency, a financial services firm, and an international tech powerhouse. At one of those roles, I was fortunate enough to be challenged to build several projects with Python and JavaScript. 

There was no formal computer science education for me; I discovered coding entirely by accident. A small work interest quickly blossomed into a passionate weekend hobby. Eventually, I left my former role to complete App Academy, a rigorous full-stack web development bootcamp in NYC. The rest is history.

This was a great intro to hooks and using them. Unfortunately it doesn't cover all React Hooks. I hope to see that course in the future, I would happily revisit this material if it is updated with the remaining hooks.

By Leila Berrouayel on 7/6/2020

Good overview. Thank you!

By Caio Cunha on 6/16/2020

Clear and precise explanations of all React hooks concepts.

By Adam Forbes on 5/1/2020

Great course! Love the fact that it was live coding. Very well explained. Highly recommended intro to React Hooks.

By Zachery Beyel on 4/25/2020

Great introduction to hooks, it doesn't cover everything but it hits the points that matter most and makes them easy to understand. Teaching style was clear and concise which is great and the optional sections are a great refresher in case you aren't super familiar with class-based components in React.

By Sergio Lopez on 4/18/2020

Every explanation is so simple and easy to understand. Perfectly achieves what the React official docs are not able to explain easily

By Nitish Sihmar on 4/15/2020

The course structure and explanation was great. The optional videos were aptly put in the course and did a perfect job in refreshing the concepts which made the learning from this course even more thorough.

By Tolga Kurt on 4/10/2020

Well structured. Extremely concise. Very relevant examples. Nicely shaped learning curve. Good summaries of the legacy stuff. I suggest this to anyone who wants to get quickly on the Hooks train. However, there is one thing that concerned me: the instructor talks too fast. I believe that the same content can be conveyed with something like 30% less words in the same time frame which will make the presentation less daunting.

By Ariel Rudolph Harry EBANG MEZUI ME on 4/3/2020

I love it. Very simple and clear. This is the course that I was looking for.
Thanks a lot man. I will recommand this course for my friends who use React.
This is the best course to learn React Hooks

By Jose Paulino on 3/14/2020

No waste, Instructor is very knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond by explaining essential react topics.

By Lee Castelani on 3/6/2020

Great course. Great explanations and examples of concepts. A couple of challenges which helps. Only negative is that there is no responses to questions in the Q&A section.

By Jack on 3/1/2020

Brilliant !
