Learn React Hooks By Building A Real Application
7h 14m 44s
English
Paid
Beginner Level
If all you've done is the official React tutorial then you are ready for this course. We'll be starting from the fundamentals and working our way into hooks basics pretty quickly. Hooks allow us to cover topics that are ordinarily advanced sooner. It might feel a little fast but that's what the pause button is for!
Intermediate/Advanced Level
If you're a seasoned React developer, there's no better way to get caught up on Hooks and what it means for your code and team than this course. You’ll get priceless insights into how hooks will help you build great abstractions for your team that will work in new and mature code-bases.
You’re not going to just watch some videos and type along with us, nah, that’s not how you learn. We teach a concept with real-world code, then hand it over to you to do an exercise on your own--which is where the real learning happens. When you’re done, we’ll solidify your understanding as we go deeper into the concepts in the solution videos.

Frequently asked questions
What prior knowledge do I need before taking this course?
Before enrolling in this course, you should have a foundational understanding of JavaScript, as evidenced by lessons like 'its-just-javascript' and 'how-react-works'. Familiarity with JSX and component-based architecture would also be beneficial, given the focus on components in lessons such as 'defining-components' and 'using-components'.
What kind of application will I build during the course?
Throughout the course, you will build key features of a realistic application using React Hooks. While the course does not specify an exact application, it includes exercises like 'feed-exercise-part-1-solution' and 'data-loading-exercise-overview', which suggest a focus on managing state and data flow in applications.
Who is the ideal target audience for this course?
This course is ideal for JavaScript developers who are looking to enhance their skills by learning React Hooks. It is suitable for those who have a basic understanding of React and want to expand their knowledge into modern React practices, as seen in lessons like 'composing-with-hooks' and 'customize-component-render-positions'.
How does this course compare in depth to similar courses on React Hooks?
With 78 lessons, this course offers a comprehensive exploration of React Hooks. It covers fundamental concepts like 'use-state-intro' and 'use-effect-intro', as well as advanced topics such as 'building-a-global-state' and 'composing-hooks-together'. This breadth and depth make it suitable for both beginners looking to grasp the basics and intermediate learners aiming for a deeper understanding.
Which specific tools or libraries are covered in this course?
The course focuses on React Hooks as a core feature of the React library. It does not explicitly mention additional tools or libraries beyond React itself, as the lessons primarily concentrate on concepts like 'use-ref', 'use-effect', and 'use-reducer'.
What is not covered in this course?
This course does not cover aspects outside of React Hooks, such as server-side rendering, React Native, or testing frameworks like Jest. The focus is strictly on building and understanding applications using hooks as seen in lessons like 'handling-an-event-without-react' and 'subscription-style-async'.
What is the expected time commitment for this course?
Although the total runtime is not provided, the course consists of 78 lessons. The time commitment will vary depending on the pace at which you choose to work through the material. Given the number of lessons, a moderate estimate would be several weeks if studying part-time.
