Working with React and Go (Golang) (Udemy.com)

I've really enjoyed working through this course. It lets students practice setting up a basic Go API with JWT authentication and it demonstrates how to connect that API to a React frontend. I was especially excited about the section demonstrating how to set up a GraphQL endpoint, as well as the deployment section at the end. It demonstrates how to deploy the backend and frontend on a VPS using Supervisor and Caddy. The React code uses Javascript instead of Typescript, and sometimes the JS seems a bit strange or doesn't seem to follow best practices for React state management. And since the course is a bit dated, the instructor uses Create-React-App (deprecated now) instead of Vite. But if you are learning Go web development, this course is definitely worth your while.

I started this course because I recently started using Go for the backend in web applications. I started with Go templates and after following a number of Trevor's courses I saw this one. I don't know React and I found it useful to take this course as well, to see how React and Go work together. I learned a lot from React and Go. In addition, the way Trevor gives the explanation is really fantastic. I not only learned a lot from Go and React, but also from using the tools around it. The deployment chapter answered all the questions I had that arose during the course about how to properly implement this in production. Really more than worth taking this course.

This is a great course to learn about React and how to integrate it with a custom Go back-end API. I learned a lot about building a full stack web application. There are sections on setting up a custom Postgres datastore, as well as how to secure communication using JWTs and finally a short section to implement some GraphQL logic. Would recommend this course to anyone who wants to know about these things as Trevor is an excellent teacher!

The course is awesome. It does NOT include the basics of javascript and go, but if you can at least follow the code, you will be teach how to create a real life project, how to structure your code inside a file and in folders, how to manage a database, authentication with JWT, basics of GraphQL and even how to deploy to production. It is a great way to wrap up your training in GO and React.

Excellent course, I came back to a Trevor/Go course after doing one of Trevor's courses about a year ago with Go, looking for a Go refresher so I do have some Go/React background. Very good instruction, and as of Dec 1, 2023 everything in the course works, with quick responses to help questions from Trevor(instructor). Watched, but did not actually do the last deployment part until I figure out where I want to deploy. Five stars!

This relates to the React 18 / Router 6 content. I started with no React knowledge, and junior (at best) Go skills. I now feel not only confident enough start developing my own applications from scratch, but to do so with an understanding of best practices and security weaknesses. Towards the end, the content can get a little repetitive, but I found this a bonus as I was able to pause the lesson, jump ahead with what I've learnt so far, and get a working feature myself, before finishing the lesson to see if I got it right.

Not really had to muddle my way through It would be nice if the tutor made a beginner course on golang using API, not all of us, use templates and it feels like a waste of time, to go through the long beginner course that focuses only on HTML and CSS where chances of actually writing HTML and CSS are quite low(i did get the course though).

Very good and structured course. I use Next.js myself and only bought it to deal with the golang API. I think it's a shame that only Bootstrap is used. I would have liked to see another way e.g. Bulma or Tailwind, but unfortunately you can't have everything ;-) Can only recommend the course, I love the courses from Trevor Sawler. Although my English is very good, I understand it very well and can follow everything.

This course is very basic in terms of content but I do appreciate the structure of this as this is a good stepping stone to create more complex apps. At the very least, I wanted to have a working example of a React frontend consuming a backend service. The backend service doesn't need to be go but as I transition from .NET to Go, the different approaches made in this course, as well as in his other courses (the hotel reservation), it gives me a good perspective on how apps can be structured logically, and how tests can be made from there as well.

I thoroughly reccommend this course to anyone who is interested in using React with Go. I found this course to be interesting and easy to follow along. I learnt a lot about APIs and how React interacts with a backend. I did find the Go section to be moderately difficult but I think that's just from me being new to the language. This is my second completed course with Trevor and I'm looking forward to the next!
