Course Description

Advanced JavaScript: React is a series of video lessons and tutorials that show students who have a basic JavaScript background how to build three real-world projects that you can add to your website. You will learn how to make your website more interactive and engaging using JavaScript & React.
React was created by Facebook. Think about your Facebook timeline: There are a lot of different components there with a lot going on: the timeline updates when there are new status updates, you can "like" or comment on a status update, you can get messages from Messenger, you can search for people, right?
For a long, long time, creating interactive experiences like this in JavaScript was doable but led to messy code that was difficult to maintain. A common term for this is "spaghetti code" because all the different parts of it intertwine like the pasta on a plate of spaghetti and meatballs.
React gives us a way to organize our code. Our views (i.e. components) are self-contained and, ideally, do just a single thing. This helps us work with other people because when they come look at our code it will be easier for them to understand it. And it makes our code more robust because giving each component just one role to do cuts down on the likelihood of nasty bugs being introduced.

Week 1 - Fundamentals of React.js
In week one, we'll build a simple React app! We'll read through a complete React project so that you can begin to answer questions like: When do I choose between JavaScript vs. React? Why do I even need React? And why is React quickly becoming the most popular JS framework on the Web?
Week 2 - Social Media Card
If you're building the next Twitter, Instagram, or any social media site that has user profiles then React can help you build your user interface. In this week, we'll use API data, to populate a user profile page.
Week 3 - Pomodoro Timer
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method used to break down work intervals: 25 minutes of deep work, followed by a 5 minute break. In this week, we'll build an app to help us focus. The Pomodoro Timer we create will tell us when to work, and when to break.
Week 4 - Product Search
In the final week, you'll build an app that searches through a list of products. This will be necessary for any app you create where you'd like to parse through lists of users, products, or any data set.Who this course is for:

Students with JavaScript experience
Students looking to excel at their current development job or make a career change.
Students who would like to add powerful front-end features to their own app or website.

One Month is the best place to learn to code. We offer online coding courses (HTML, JavaScript and Python), coaching with members of our team, and free tutorials so that you can feel confident in learning to code.
We believe that you shouldn't have to live in New York City or California, and shouldn't need to make over $120,000 to afford the best coding bootcamps. Everyone should have access to knowledge. Everyone should be able to learn how to code.
One Month has had over 60,000 students, including employees of Google, Bloomberg L.P., Singularity University and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
If you don't know where to start? We recommend Programming for Non-Programmers. Reach out to us here on Udemy or at teachers@onemonth.com and we'll be glad to help!
