Course Description

jQuery Awards Best Free Course

Have you ever wondered how complex React applications are created? React by itself is pretty bareboned and doesn't come with a lot of features outside of its core functionality. Third party libraries such as React Router and Redux are used to add additional functionality to your React application.
React Router offers a simple solution for handling routing. You can use it to dynamically change your application UI based on the current URL. Redux offers a great solution for organizing changes to your application state. It does so by using a method of dispatching actions that modify the current state.
By the end of this course you will learn how to use React Router and Redux to enhance your React application and make it more scalable.
Module 1: React Router
This module covers how to handle routing using React Router. You will learn how to dynamically change your application UI based on the current URL.
Module 2: Redux
