Front-End Web Development with React

Course Overview

This course, Front-End Web Development with React, explores Javascript based front-end application development, and in particular the React library (Currently Ver. 16.3). Students will use JavaScript ES6 for developing React application and will be introduced to the use of Reactstrap for Bootstrap 4-based responsive UI design. They will learn about React components, React router, designing controlled forms, the Flux architecture and Redux, Fetch for client-server communication, the use of REST API on the server side, React animation support and testing. Prerequisites for this course include a working knowledge of Bootstrap 4 and a good working knowledge of JavaScript, especially ES 5. Upon completion of this course, students will be familiar with client-side Javascript application development and the React library, be able to implement single page applications in React, use various React features including components and forms, implement a functional front-end web application using React, use Reactstrap for designing responsive React applications, and use Redux to design the architecture for a React-Redux application.

[Applications]
At the end of this course, students should be able to apply their knowledge of React to develop front-end web applications. They should be able to use Reactstrap for designing responsive React applications, and use Redux to design the architecture for a React-Redux application. They should also be able to use Fetch for client-server communication and the use of REST API on the server side. Additionally, they should be able to use React animation support and testing.

[Career Paths]
1. Front-End Web Developer: Front-end web developers are responsible for creating the visual elements of a website or application. They use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the user interface and ensure that it is both attractive and functional. As the demand for web applications continues to grow, the demand for front-end web developers is also increasing.

2. React Developer: React developers specialize in the React library and are responsible for developing user interfaces using React. They must be proficient in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as the React library. As React continues to gain popularity, the demand for React developers is also increasing.

3. UI/UX Designer: UI/UX designers are responsible for creating the user experience of a website or application. They must be proficient in design principles, user research, and usability testing. As the demand for web applications continues to grow, the demand for UI/UX designers is also increasing.

4. Full-Stack Developer: Full-stack developers are responsible for both the front-end and back-end development of a website or application. They must be proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a back-end language such as PHP or Python. As the demand for web applications continues to grow, the demand for full-stack developers is also increasing.
