Course Description
Welcome to the #1 documentation recommended paid resource for learning Material-UI!
Across 35 hours and more than 200 lectures, I will teach you absolutely everything there is to know about building finely designed applications using hands-down the most useful tool I've learned since React itself -- Material-UI!
Take your web development skills to a whole new level and separate yourself from the average React developer by gaining the confidence to build professionally designed applications!
After learning React, I think many developers run into a common problem -- what are the best practices for actually building your own project!? You may have an idea in your head for a really cool application or website but feel like you wouldn't know exactly how to go about creating it with React. Are you supposed to build every little component and piece of functionality from scratch? Definitely not! Learn to let Material-UI do the heavy lifting for you with its comprehensive customizable component library with integrated styling, theming, grid, and responsive design systems.
Most of the courses you take while learning React are focused on teaching you the core concepts and fundamental syntax/structures necessary to understand and build React applications. This is usually done by building either a handful of small projects, each focused around a certain concept or by building a large project and incorporating each concept as you go. Learning like this is great, and absolutely essential to understanding the subject.
However, I have noticed that due to the focus on the underlying concepts and functionality, most of the designs and layouts aren't particularly interesting! None of the designs are bad by any means -- and that isn't the focus of pure React courses so this isn't a problem -- but they aren't usually something you would give to a paying client, so that does leave a bit of a gap when you begin working on your own. That's precisely why I made this course!
We're going to build two complete projects from scratch based on just design files -- including my own actual production website!
I'm going to walk you through the learning process that I went through when I built my first production application -- all the way from starting the project with a blank screen to deploying a fully responsive website. What I really try to emphasize is the way to think about structuring layouts in Material-UI. We'll first go over screenshots of the design we're about to build and visually breakdown the grid setup necessary to achieve each look, along with the corresponding code snippets! Then we actually hop into the code editor to put it into action.
We'll also be going over the documentation for each Material-UI component before we use it in our project so you'll be familiar with all the different capabilities, not just the features we use! Each component is extremely flexible and one of my goals for this course was giving you enough familiarity with the entire current ecosystem to be ready to understand any future updates.
A key part of building production applications is making sure that your styles and functionality don't just work on your system, but are flexible and responsive to any environment. That's why I drill responsive design practices so you'll understand not only the concepts to keep in mind but how to actually implement them with Material-UI and get perfect styles on the biggest, smallest, and every screen in between. This will hopefully become second nature and we'll all enjoy more optimized user-experiences across the web.
We will also be covering extra topics like SEO in React, switching our project over to Next.js and the benefits from doing so, hooking up Google Analytics to start making data-driven decisions, integrating animations from After Effects, and so much more!
The Course Content Includes:
Setting up a new project with create-react-app, React Router, and Material-UI
Guided explanations of the documentation for almost every Material-UI component followed by implementing them in our project
Different image optimization strategies
Creating a theme for your application by mastering Material-UI's centralized styling system
Learning how to use responsive design to ensure your applications look perfect on any screen size and orientation!
Using the Material-UI grid system to align complex layouts perfectly
Exporting animations from Adobe After Effects and efficiently importing them into a React application with react-lottie
Leveraging serverless functionality with Google Firebase Cloud Functions
Sending emails through Node.js
Making network requests in React while displaying feedback like loading spinners with Material-UI
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in React applications
Migrating a project from create-react-app to Next.js and why
Cross-browser testing and support
Deploying a Next.js project and adding a custom domain name -- for two different hosting platforms
Incorporate Google Analytics to collect data about who is interacting with your application and what they're doing
Build custom organizational functionality to control data displayed in tables including search, filtering, delete, and undo
Along with lifetime access to over 35 HOURS of content, you'll also find easy access to support through active Q/A.
You've got nothing to lose -- this course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee in case you aren't completely satisfied!
Tackle the challenge, blur the line between design and development, and learn to create the projects you've envisioned.

Hey! I'm Zachary Reece, and I've been coding since I started building basic websites with HTML at 9 years old. I've always had a deep passion and an innate, insatiable curiosity for computers. Over the last 4 years I've been working as a Senior React Developer building web applications for small local companies, billion-dollar corporations, and everything in between. I truly love what I do and am so excited to share it with you all.
Throughout that time I've specialized in the React component library MUI (Material-UI) developing a deep understanding of how the components work from the very basics of each individual component to all the considerations of integrating the components into an entire production application. My first course on MUI has taught over 20,000 students all over the world, helped them start new careers, and was even featured on the official MUI documentation. The course was so popular that I was invited to speak about MUI at React conferences hosted by Geekle in April 2021 and November 2023. I even fixed a real bug in MUI's open source code myself! I've gone from an MUI user to an MUI instructor to an MUI contributor, and now I'm here to share every tip, trick, and secret that I've learned - with you.

I have completed Section 1 to Section 7 for this course. (Will do another review once I completed the entire section). I rated 4.5 out of 5 stars based on my experience because I like the way Zachary explained the MUI components in detailed. I feel like the teaching pace is just nice for me as I need to get a better understanding of how each MUI component works. However, the remaining 0.5 stars was deducted because just like other people mentioned in the comments, the MUI version in this course is outdated and some were deprecated due to the current MUI v5. But I still feel that is not too bad to create the pages with MUI v5, hence I managed to create for all the pages in this course. For example, in MUI v5 have to use 'styled' to style the custom component instead of 'makeStyles'. Just needed to refer to the documentation and do some more research, especially if I am tackling any difficult coding. See what is the change that made from the older MUI version. I also challenged myself to use Typescript instead of Javascript (that uses in this course). I saw that Zachary will update this course to utilize the MUI v5. So I am looking forward to the big update from him and hopefully that I can learn more about MUI. Thank you Zachary for this wonderful course. :)

El curso para estar en una versión des actualizada de materia ui lo sentí muy completo y muchos conceptos se pueden aplicar en la versión 5, la realización del proyecto que se manejase lo siento bien. y la manera de explicarse del maestro me parece fácil de entender. Las cosas malas que considero del curso son las siguientes: 1. El curso maneja una versión des actualizada (4) y a menos que te metas detalladamente a ver en el materia del curso no te vas a enterar que de esto. 2. En ocaciones me llegaba a perder porque era mucho código en el mismo componente, y para la cantidad de etiquetas que se manejaban se dificultaba cuando el maestro regresaba a modificar una en especifico, si se actualiza recomendaría separar el código en mas componentes. Como conclusión recomendaría el curso si ya tienes experiencia básica en react y si ya habías visto lo básico de materai ui, ya que lo puedes trabajar en la versión 5 pero si tendrás momentos donde algo no funciona que te obligara a buscar en la documentación

Zach stated that he's working on an updated course for MUI 5 (as Material-UI is no longer supported). Most of this course can be done with minimal changes needed, however, most of the second half seems to be a giant mess with too many out dated systems and packages causing issues. You can definitely still build the first project, which is enough to get you comfortable with Material-UI, but anything after that becomes a near unworkable mess.

I really enjoyed this course and thought it was very useful. It's the most comprehensive course available on Material UI at the moment. There are some caveats you need to be aware of though. The material was designed with Material UI version 4 in mind. I had no problem following along while using Material UI v5 and making adjustments where it was required. But you have to be aware of that as of 2023 some of the packages used throughout the course are becoming outdated. There is a lot of repetition. You will end up doing the same things over and over again on different pages. It's good for practice and simulates the experience of building an entire website. But if you're an experienced developer who just wants to be shown the important parts of MUI and be done with it, this might become frustrating. Some of the patterns and design choices the instructor uses when writing React code are lazy and questionable. For example, using eval() when applying a filter to a table. There are much better courses on writing React and Next JS applications. But aside from these things it's a great course.

You'll not find any course on material UI like this. Couldn't get better than this because it's not just material UI with multi boring applications. This course has other interesting topics(and not just a brief explanation) too like lazy loading, next.js, SEO and more. Instructor has covered all possible UI components (building two big applications) that you'll need for your applications. And you'll learn a lot in the first application he has built.
By Ricardo Pfeuti on 11/21/2020
Too much hardcode, better saying, it would be difficult to reuse the same components on another development, but the course is very good and complete.
By Akiyama Satoru on 11/21/2020
After this course, I always use Material-UI. Thank you for good course!
