This is the code repository for React - The Complete Guide (Includes Hooks, React Router, and Redux) - Second Edition [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the book from start to finish.
React.js is the most popular JavaScript library you can learn and use these days to build modern, reactive user interfaces for the web. In this course, you will dive into the core concepts of React, gaining a thorough understanding of its purpose and benefits. From building components and creating dynamic UIs to harnessing the full potential of React Hooks and working with state management using the Context API and React Redux, we have got you covered. Learn to build standalone React apps and connect them to backends using HTTP. Master routing and data fetching techniques with React Router. Implement user authentication in React apps and build full-stack applications with Next.js.
The course includes multiple demo projects, ensuring hands-on experience and practical application. Whether you prefer working locally or in a cloud development environment, we’ve got the flexibility you need.
We will also dive deep into advanced concepts such as debugging, styling with “Styled Components” and “CSS Modules,” working with Fragments and Portals, managing side effects, form handling with validation, incorporating Redux and Redux Toolkit, and leveraging React with TypeScript. Gain insights into animations and ensure robust code with comprehensive unit testing.
This updated version includes two new practice projects and an extensively revamped JS Refresher section. The JS Refresher section provides a comprehensive understanding of JavaScript, laying a solid foundation for building React applications.
By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to build robust web applications using React.js confidently.
Students who want to learn how to build reactive and fast web apps or want to take their web development skills to the next level can opt for this course.
This course starts with zero knowledge assumed. All you need is basic web development (HTML + CSS) and JavaScript knowledge. However, the course even includes a brief JavaScript refresher to ensure that we are all on the same page. ES6+ JavaScript knowledge is beneficial but not a must-have.
No prior React or any other JS framework experience is required!

Since the age of 13, he has never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. In his early days, he started creating websites simply for fun. This passion has remained and shaped his decision to work as a freelance web developer and consultant. Although he started web development on the backend (PHP with Laravel and NodeJS), he has progressed to becoming a front-end developer using modern frameworks such as React, Angular, and VueJS 2 in many projects.
The most rewarding experience for him is to see how people find new and better jobs, build exciting web applications, acquire amazing projects, or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of his content.
