I'm Max Stoiber (@mxstbr) - the creator of react-boilerplate, one of the most popular react starter kits (10K+ stars on github). I'll teach you how to build a real-world application using React, Redux and Immutable.js. We will use interactive playgrounds to create our app from scratch (no setup required). The course can be divided into 4 logical parts: 1. React: Understand what is React and what problem it solves. We'll build our first weather app using just React. 2. Redux: Identify potential issues in our React app and learn how Redux & Redux-Thunk can solve those issues. 3. Immutable.js: Learn Immutable.js and how it can help in making our Redux apps performant. 4. Jest: Lastly, we will learn how to test our React/Redux app using Jest. If you are going to build a production app, chances are that you are going to use all of the above technologies so let's get started. * Understanding of Javascript is required. ** Understanding of ES6 (let/const, arrow functions etc.) would be beneficial.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
