Overview of this book

<p>Every great website needs a great user interface, and without one, your users will soon leave. The React stack is the perfect tool to create amazing modern dynamic interfaces, and this course will take you stepbystep through how to build them. You will learn the practical skills needed to make great interface components that incorporate other web development tools, such as Bootstrap, SASS, and hot reloading. React is an incredibly popular part of modern full stack web development, and is a keystone of fluid SPAs (single page applications). As part of a full stack, it all you need to create full web applications.</p> <p>The course begins by ensuring you have a solid understanding of Bootstrap and JSX, so you can create React components that can automatically refresh, enabling fully dynamic interfaces. We then introduce ES6 into the mix, showing you how the latest web technologies can be used to make your user interfaces even better. Next, you will see how to integrate and componentize CSS into React using SASS, enabling you to style your components using web standard techniques. Finally, we will dive into animation, and you’ll understand states and events to create reactive user interface components.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>This very carefully modulated course will take you every step of the way through building modern user interface components using React. It is a thorough and methodical course, not skipping over technologies or assuming knowledge. It is also a very practical course, full of examples of the technologies used along the way.</p>
