Mentions
This agenda represents the contents for a 2 days (16 hours) based training, covering a great number of React related concepts, knowledge and practical applications. Although the training content can be tweaked on a per case by case basis, for maximum results we recommend sticking with the complete agenda.
Prerequisites
1. Every student will have his/her own laptop. For best results, it is not advisable to multiple people working on the same machine
2. Node v8.9.4 or greater installed (https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
3. Git v2.16.0 installed (https://git-scm.com/downloads)
4. An IDE/code editor of choice (Sublime Text, Atom, Visual Studio Code, WebStorm, etc.)
Expectations
This training assumes the participants are already familiar with ES6 concepts
(classes, destructuring, default parameters, arrow functions, let/const, etc.), basic JavaScript knowledge and syntax, npm (interacting with the npm ecosystem, package.json), Git (basic commands) and that they have basic React and Redux knowledge (JSX, VDOM, state, props, event management, component lifecycle hooks, actions, reducers, store, mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps etc.). Thus, the aforementioned concepts will not be discussed or detailed during the training.
This training targets intermediate developers who would like to upgrade their
React knowledge by finding out more about React component patterns, when
and how to apply them and gain architectural knowledge useful in scaling
applications based on this technical stack.
