React Training Course

Who should attend

The course is aimed at experienced developers, who are familiar with programming concepts but may be relatively new to JavaScript and React. The course includes a brief review of HTML and CSS fundamentals.

Prerequisites

Ideally you should be comfortable coding JavaScript from scratch, and web fundamentals (HTML and CSS) but you should be fine if you already have equivalent skills in another language and / or web framework such as ASP.NET MVC with C#, Spring with Java, Django with Python. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like any pointers to prime yourself for this course.
