Course Overview
Hi everyone, my name is Cory house, and welcome to my course, Building Applications with React and Flux. I'm the principal consultant at reactjsconsulting.com. I've enjoyed working heavily with React since it was open source in 2013. React is one of the world's most popular technologies for building web apps today and for good reason. It's fast, it offers an elegant programming model, and it boasts a huge ecosystem of existing libraries and components. In this course, we're going to build a realistic data management app to explore the core features of React, Flux, and React Router. Some of the major topics that we'll cover include generating new React apps with create-react-app, handling state and props, performing client-side routing with React Router, creating reusable React components, and implementing one-way data flows with Flux. By the end of this course, you'll know how to build a realistic and scalable React app that supports creating, updating, and deleting data. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with JavaScript, HTML, and some basic CSS. I'm assuming that you're new to React, and don't worry if you aren't up to speed on all the latest JavaScript features. I'll introduce modern JavaScript features along the way. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn React, React Router, and Flux with the Building Applications with React and Flux course, at Pluralsight.
