Building Applications with React 18 and Redux
Learn how to use React, Redux, React Router, Jest, React Testing Library, and modern JavaScript to build powerful and fast web applications.
What you'll learn
React is a library with so much power, but so few strong opinions. So building something significant requires a large number of decisions and work to build the foundation.
- Learn how to use React Redux, React Router, and modern JavaScript to build powerful and fast React applications from the ground up.
- Use Webpack, Babel, ESLint, npm scripts, Jest, React Testing Library, Enzyme, and more.
- Create a rapid feedback development environment that runs linting and tests, transpiles modern JavaScript, runs a local webserver, opens the application, and reloads changes when you hit save.
- Deploy with a single command.

Course FAQ
You will learn how to use React and Redux, as well as React Router and JavaScript to build effective React applications using today's popular and useful technologies.
Since this is an intermediate level course, you should already know the basics of React. As such, you should also be familiar with JavaScript basics as well. If you need a refresher on the basics, check out this React course.
Redux is an open source JavaScript library and a tool that helps manage the state of applications. It helps manage the data you present to users and the way in which you respond to their actions. We will go into much more detail in the course itself.
Redux is most frequently used with React because React lets you describe UI as a function of state, and Redux is a flux implementation, so it creates update paths in JS applications.
Yes! We will build a real-world application with React and Redux from square one so you can better solidify the principles and concepts taught throughout this course.
