Build modern web apps with React in this free online course—learn components, hooks, routing, API data, and deploy projects fast with confidence.

In this free course, learn about

  • React basics: what React is, SPA setup, and where the UI mounts in index.html
  • JSX, components, and using props to pass data/config into child components
  • Conditional rendering, styling approaches, and rendering arrays with map + key
  • State with useState: why state triggers re-renders vs updating normal variables
  • CRUD patterns in React (Todo app), including using unique IDs to delete one item
  • Component lifecycle with useEffect: run once on mount and control dependencies
  • Fetching data from APIs: avoid requests on every render via useEffect deps or React Query
  • Routing with React Router: BrowserRouter wrapper and for route matching
  • Context API for state sharing to avoid prop drilling across many component levels
  • React Query useQuery basics: query key + query function, caching and refetch control
  • Forms with React Hook Form + Yup: schema-based validation and error handling
  • Custom hooks: naming rule (must start with 'use') and extracting reusable logic
  • TypeScript in React: typed props for compile-time safety beyond runtime PropTypes
  • Firebase + Firestore: auth, addDoc to collections, getDocs for lists, deploy build folder

Course Description

Step into modern web development by learning how to build fast, interactive interfaces with React. This free online course is designed for beginners who want to go from React basics to creating real, deployable applications. You will start by understanding what React is, how a single-page application renders in the browser, and how to set up a project the right way so you can focus on building, not fighting configuration.

As you progress, you will learn the building blocks of React development: JSX, reusable components, and the practical use of props to pass data through your UI. You will gain confidence turning designs into dynamic screens, including conditional rendering and showing lists of data cleanly. Styling approaches are introduced naturally, helping you understand how React fits into real front-end workflows.

From there, you will unlock interactivity with state and the useState hook, understanding why React needs state updates rather than changing ordinary variables. You will apply these ideas in a hands-on CRUD-style to-do app where you learn patterns that transfer to almost any product, including how to uniquely handle updates and deletions when your data contains duplicates.

You will also learn how React components behave over time with lifecycle concepts and useEffect, including how to control when effects run so you do not trigger unnecessary work on every render. This becomes especially valuable when fetching data from an API, where you will learn how to avoid repeated requests and keep your UI responsive and predictable.

Navigation is a core part of web apps, so the course guides you through client-side routing with React Router, clarifying how route matching and route rendering work in practice. You will also explore state sharing at scale using Context to reduce prop drilling and improve maintainability, then take data fetching further with React Query for cleaner async logic, caching, and better control over server state.

To build production-ready forms, you will work with React Hook Form together with Yup validation, learning how to keep form code small, readable, and reliable. You will also see how to create custom hooks to reuse logic across components, and how TypeScript improves safety and developer speed by giving stronger typing for props and state than runtime-only solutions.

Finally, you will connect everything in a practical project experience using Firebase: implementing authentication, performing CRUD operations with Firestore, building features like a like system, and preparing an app for release. You will finish by deploying to Firebase Hosting so your portfolio has a real, shareable result. By the end, you will have the skills and confidence to build React applications that look professional, scale better, and reflect what employers expect in modern front-end development.
