This repository contains all course materials and resources for the Frontend Development with React course.
In this course, students will master one of the most popular libraries in modern frontend development — React. You will learn to build powerful, dynamic, and responsive user interfaces using functional components, Hooks, and Context API, while integrating modern UI libraries and best practices.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to design, develop, and deploy production-ready frontend applications that connect seamlessly with backend APIs and deliver real-world user experiences.
Before starting this course, ensure you have:
- ✅ Completed Web Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
- ✅ Strong understanding of Frontend fundamentals
- ✅ Familiarity with basic Git and version control
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- ⚙️ Build rich frontend applications with React using functional components and Hooks
- 🧩 Manage global and local state using Context API and advanced state patterns
- 🎨 Integrate modern UI libraries like Ant Design, Material-UI, and Tailwind CSS
- 🔗 Connect React apps to REST APIs and handle asynchronous data efficiently
- 🛡️ Implement authentication, routing, and form validation
- 🚀 Deploy production-ready React applications to platforms like Vercel or Netlify
- 💼 Build portfolio-worthy real-world projects showcasing professional frontend skills
