React is an open source JavaScript library for building user interfaces for web and mobile applications. This challenging, hands-on course follows on from COMP 1850 and COMP 2015 and is aimed at students who already understand how to build web pages with HMTL5, CSS3 and JavaScript. The main goal of using React is to create fast, and modular applications. Students begin with an introduction to the basic concepts of React and how it works with the browser Document Object Model (DOM). Other topics include JavaScript ES6, JSX, and React Router. Instructor led labs and exercises focus on how to structure and develop single-page applications following current industry standards. Students may also want to complete COMP 2909 AngularJS, COMP 2912 Node.js Fundamentals. Upon completion successful participants will be able to build fast and feature-rich web applications using React and modern JavaScript.
