Learn React

Front-end teams often inherit React work before everyone shares the same patterns for components, state, routing, forms, and application-level state management. This beginner-level course is a fit for IT Directors, Training Managers, and Team Leads onboarding aspiring or junior software developers into React work, especially teams that need a common baseline before assigning production UI tasks.

Plan for roughly 15 hours per learner across 16 skills. The course moves from basic React concepts and syntax into reusable components, type-checking, event handling, state, lists, routing, refactoring, context, forms, rerendering, React internals, Redux, performance, and testing. For change management, assign it as a structured ramp before codebase ownership or as a shared reset for teams with uneven React experience.

Where available in your CBT Nuggets plan, Playlists can standardize the team path and Team Reporting can help leaders track completion and adoption.

IT teams complete this React training to reduce variability in how junior developers build and maintain front-end applications. The curriculum supports practical React work across common application needs: reusable UI, user interaction, forms, routing, and shared state.

• Faster developer onboarding: Give new IT Practitioners a shared foundation in React concepts, syntax, components, props, state, and events.
• More maintainable UI work: Help teams break applications into reusable components, refactor React applications, and understand list rendering and component reusability.
• Better application workflows: Prepare developers to implement routing, build basic and reusable forms, and manage data flow with React Context and Redux.
• Fewer performance surprises: Build team awareness of rerendering, React inner workings, Redux performance, and testing so developers can reason about behavior before changes reach production.

Knowledge

• Core React concepts and syntax used to build React applications
• How React components are created, reused, and organized
• How props, type-checking, event handling, state, and lists work together
• Routing fundamentals for React applications
• React Context and Redux concepts for shared or application-level state
• How rerendering, React internals, Redux performance, and testing affect application behavior

Ability

• Create and reuse React components in a consistent application structure
• Add event handling, component state, lists, and reusable UI patterns
• Build basic forms and refactor them into reusable form patterns
• Add routing to support multi-view React applications
• Introduce React Context and Redux into applications where shared state is needed
• Evaluate rerendering behavior and apply performance-aware testing practices
