Course : Complete JavaScript, XML, AJAX and React Bootcamp – Hands-On
Introduction
Hello and welcome to this exciting new course, where we explore some of the most powerful front-end development languages used in modern web development. In this course, you will learn to harness the power of JavaScript, XML, AJAX, and React to build highly interactive web pages from scratch.
JavaScript
In the JavaScript section of this course, you will learn a number of concepts instrumental towards your journey as a developer. This includes working with variables, arithmetic operators, objects, functions, arrays, events, and loops. You will also learn the importance of JavaScript placement, while working with both internal and external JavaScript code components.
Students learn the importance of operator precedence when performing simple and complex arithmetic operations. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to work with conditional statements to perform comparisons between different operations.
Once you have a handle on the foundations, we’ll dive into a number of JavaScript development projects where you will have an opportunity to apply your new skills with practical hands-on exercises. This includes building an automated background color changer and photo gallery complete with mouse-overs and image transitions.
Automated Background Color Changer
The automated background color changer project is aimed at helping you understand how to manipulate the DOM and create dynamic effects on a web page. You will learn how to use JavaScript to change the background color of a webpage at regular intervals.
Photo Gallery with Mouse-overs and Image Transitions
The photo gallery project will allow you to showcase your images with interactive effects. You will learn how to create mouse-over effects that can display additional information or transitions to different images.
XML and AJAX
In the second section of the course, we will explore XML and AJAX to demonstrate the power of asynchronous page updates. This means building web components that automatically update on a web page without having to manually refresh.
You will have an opportunity to work with both XML and AJAX in conjunction with JavaScript to build modern web app components such as a search suggest feature and a pre-populated select menu.
React
The React section of the course starts off with a hands-on project where you’ll learn how to work with functional React components, props, Callback functions, OnClick Events, and the React State hook to build a fully functional calculator.
From there, we will dive into project number two, where you will build a connect-4 clone. Here we will cover more intermediate concepts including passing props, destructuring, passing arguments to click events, various styling methods, and handling callbacks.
Calculator Application
The calculator application project will allow you to create a fully functional calculator using React. You will learn how to handle user input and perform calculations based on the input using React state and callback functions.
Connect-4 Clone
The connect-4 clone project will help you understand how to build a multiplayer game using React. You will learn how to handle game logic, user interactions, and styling using React features such as props, event handlers, and conditional rendering.
E-commerce Site
In the final section of the course, we further unleash the power of React by building out a complete e-commerce site with multiple product categories, a product showcase, shopping cart feature, and much more.
We introduce a number of integral new concepts including JSON server, Fetch API, and installing React router. These essential building blocks will be used to render the product categories, style the product list, and configure the product details page.
Product Categories and Showcase
In this project, you will learn how to create product categories and showcase products using React. You will also explore techniques for styling the product list and configuring the individual product details page.
Shopping Cart and Checkout
The shopping cart and checkout project will help you understand the process of adding products to a shopping cart, managing the cart state, and implementing the checkout feature. You will also learn how to validate input forms in React to ensure correct and secure user input.
Product Search
The product search feature project will teach you how to implement a search functionality within the e-commerce site. You will learn how to retrieve and filter products based on user input, enhancing the user experience of the site.
