React - Mastering Test Driven Development (Udemy.com)

I definitely recommend this course for anyone who wants to take their React development skills to the next level. One of the biggest gains for me with the Test and Behavior Driven Development approach is that it makes your knowledge gaps obvious and pushes you to go understand how specific technologies work so you can write effective tests for them. David is a great teacher and will guide you through the process of writing solid, robust apps with React. I've already bought his other courses and highly recommend you do. Great Job David!!! PS: I listened to the course at 1.25X to 1.5X so I can stay sharp and alert. Use the speed that works best for you.

Straight to they point, and with a relatively fast-pace. I think this course is more oriented towards people who really know what they are looking for (just coding tests) since there were no really in-depth lessons about good/standard testing practices or processes, nor methods for testing compund components/custom hooks, and so on. It is not a bad course since overall I learned many things, but in my opinion, it needs and update and come extra content. Be ready for coming up with console errors and do some research online.

it feels like your'e working from a script and not naturally, so the concepts seem to be presented in an ad-hoc manner. since there is some much material to cover, it might have benefited from having been organised differently, perhaps write the basic components first, with tests, then write redux stores and their tests. the explanations of how the props and actions are passed to the components each time when connecting redux was a bit quick and took far longer to understand due to the poor explanation. Also the pace is a little fast and the screen is not always big enough and code gets quickly hidden behind the screen boundary, this forces me to rewind often while i'm testing the code alongside the lecture in real time.

I love David's courses. You learn a lot, use a lot, and he goes back and explains everything that might be optional for others but always good to go through again. Thanks, this course is great! Finished the course! Lots of fun, it was supposed to be for a review after being in Angular for a while but the last few lectures with middleware / thunk / and testing were a little confusing. I'm gonna go through that again and hope that will clear up the lessons for me. Thanks David!

Overall it is a good course. The author shows to be a person that has a really good knowledge of the subject. However there are some points for improvements. It lacks enough exercises to provide a solid base for the concepts. I missed a clear connection between theory and practice, especially on the most complex subjects like testing asynchronous calls. I felt like I was only repeating the patterns without a good understanding of what I was really doing on those occasions. Maybe more exercises would do the trick. Otherwise it was really worth. Thanks!

Often I hear developers using React without writing tests and that it's difficult to write tests for front end development. It turns out, that's not true and there are great tools for writing tests for React. I really value test driven development and learning through this course was much better for me, with the tests and code happening in parallel, than other courses. It could do a little bit more work on what's happening conceptually in React, but I'm pretty theory heavy, so overall I think it's a great course to get started with React.

Bought this course to learn how to test a React Redux application, and I feel I have learned exactly that through taking this course. David goes through the main concepts of TDD and BDD before coding 2 applications using TDD and BDD methods, it goes into a good amount of detail of using Jest and Enzyme I feel for the learner to feel comfortable with the technology. I would recommend ensuring you know Redux reasonably well before taking this course. I know David has a course that focuses more on the fundamentals of React Redux but I also personally recommend Stephen Griders excellent courses on the topic.

David's course is instructive and I certainly feel like I've come away knowing how to do react and redux testing with jest and enzyme. It's clear the course was written a little before react 16.0 and the update for this to include enzyme adapters didn't quite work for me but I did get it working without too much effort. However I do think the change was big enough to warrant an updated video or two for that section instead of a of PDF instruction sheet. It was also apparent that the material was totally dependent on the set up of create-react-app and I would have appreciated a section on setting up / adding jest and enzyme for an existing project not based on create-react-app. Otherwise I would have rated this course 4+

I loved the course. It was relatively short, but not because it lacks content. I'm quite experienced with react & redux and this really opened my eyes to what I can test, and in which ways. Want to test components, action creators, reducers or even async actions? This has it all. All I could ask for is adding new more advanced topics/use cases every now and then :) Well worth the 15 bucks or so --- IF --- you are already familiar with at least some react. You will learn how to develop your application using TDD/BDD, or how to test your existing application to a good extent, but you will not "learn" React and/or Redux per se from this course.

It's a very good course for anybody working in this industry. Well explained, very detailed and not too slow (I usually do courses speed up to 1.5 or 2.0 but it wasn't needed in this case). I have only one notice to make this course better: As the JS world is one of the fastest changing area of high level computer programming the instructor should follow the modifications in the last versions as soon as it possible. I know that is hard to accomplish but I had some hard time during the course because of the current version differencies (eg.: enzyme 2 (in the videos) had different configuration then enzyme 3 (most recent version)). All in all, thank you David for this super training!! :)

well explained

So far it is looking great, exactly what I was looking for.
