Canadian

We started our business doing Canadian cities like Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary... And we now cover the world with our virtual training.

Prerequisites

You should have significant experience in building web applications with HTML5 and JavaScript. No previous experience with React library is required.

Virtual Workshop

All workshops are virtual during Covid-19! An important part of the training is dedicated to building apps together and testing things in real time (bootcamp style).

FAQ

This is a 2-day classroom training for professional web developers, available as a public course or as a corporate on-site training.

During the Covid-19, all courses are now live, online and virtual.

We are *always* teaching on the latest version of React. We constantly update the training material to follow the new React versions.

Public classes are strictly following the outline as seen above. But we can definitely tailor the content for corporate on-site training to fit your team's preferences and expectations. Optional topics could be: Bootstrap, Material Design, Firebase, Unit testing, React Native, Relay, Progressive Web App, Internationalization and localization, SEO...

You must know HTML, CSS and JavaScript at a basic level. For exemple, you should know enough JavaScript to:

Declare variables
Write loops
Use conditionnal statements
Define your own functions

When most travel restrictions are removed.

Both PC and MAC are perfectly fine, you'll get the same experience during the workshop.

A detailed setup document is sent to attendees one week prior to the training. Basically you'll have to install Node.js and the latest version of the React libraries.

Attendees can use the tool of their choice (Sublime, Atom, Eclipse, WebStorm, Visual Studio...) The instructor is using Visual Studio Code, which is free, available on PC, MAC and Linux, and offers free extensions that help while developing with React. We recommend you give it a try!
