Free online courseReact Hooks Tutorial

Course Description

Learn how to build modern React applications with a practical, beginner-friendly walkthrough of Hooks. This free online course in Web Development explains why Hooks exist and how they replace many common class component patterns, helping you write cleaner, more reusable component logic.

You will get hands-on guidance with state management using useState, including handling form inputs and keeping UI in sync with user actions. You will also learn how to work with side effects through useEffect, covering common scenarios such as running logic on initial render, responding to updates, and cleaning up subscriptions or timers when components unmount.

As you progress, the course introduces shared state patterns using useContext for passing data through component trees without prop drilling. You will then explore more advanced state workflows with useReducer, a great fit for complex updates and predictable state transitions.

To round things out, you will learn how to reference DOM elements and persist values across renders with useRef, and how to create custom hooks to extract and reuse logic across components. By the end, you will have a solid foundation for using React Hooks confidently in real projects.
