Designed for developers, by developers.

Learn how to build, maintain and launch real-world web applications with the multi-day React Bootcamp (March 23-April 3). Combining theory and application, you will produce your own apps and complete the program with the core knowledge required to deeply understand and begin building and testing robust web apps in React.

Initially developed by Facebook, React is a framework used in many large-scale businesses around the world, such as Facebook, Netflix, Airbnb, and Uber. A front-runner amongst frameworks, React provides libraries to create feature-rich applications in the fields of Web Development, Mobile, and VR. Considered a user-interface framework, React allows you to code complex front-end applications with minimal resource allocation and easy scaling, and unlike most other Javascript frameworks, React is built in such a way that it pushes good coding practices, such as code reuse and data abstraction.

Through this program, you will master leading-edge skills and increase your capacity to compete in local and global markets of mobile development. This hands-on, classroom-based program uses an established boot camp model to provide high-end coding skills for beginner to intermediate developers.

Dates: March 23rd, 25th, 27th, 30th, April 1st, 3rd (Mon, Wed, Fri for two weeks)
Times: 9am-12pm
Location: Online, Zoom
Format: Online lesson with an instructor screen share, live chat, and homework between each class. A Zoom link and prep materials will be sent by the facilitator prior to the start of the course.
