React: Hooks, Concurrency, Performance, Maintainability & Tests

Are you an experienced React developer and curious to deeply dive into  advanced topics and the changes of 2019? This course is based around the following areas: Code reuse, Performance, Correctness, Refactoring and Function Components getting the same capabilities as Class Components. React is introducing new functionality to address challenges that come with  above areas. This course shows you what you can do to make your React program  easier to build, smaller, faster and correct. Some of the changes will be released during 2019, but that doesn’t mean we  cannot explore the changes and write demos. The course will be a combination of many demos, presentations and hands-on  labs.

What you will learn:

• Patterns
• New Context API (React 16.3)
• Hooks (~Q1 2019)
• Profiler (React 16.5)
• Performance
• Concurrent Mode (~Q2 2019)
• Suspense (React 16.6 and ~Q3 2019)
• Considerations for maintainable projects 
• Jest
• Storybook

Audience:

This course is intended for experienced React developers interested in patterns, performance and new/future topics like Hooks and Concurrent React.

Participants are expected to have at least a year of React hands on experience. Basics like class and functional components, properties, events, state, lifecycle methods and Redux should be familiar.
