React and Typescript: Build a Portfolio Project

You've learned React, but what now? Time to build an awesome project for your portfolio!

Prove your React knowledge to employers.

There are hundreds of resources online for teaching you the basics of React, but few of them go beyond the basics. You need more - something to teach you how to build a large, interesting app. Something unique, something more than another to-do list.

This course is your answer.

Kick off your learning experience with an introduction on how to use React and Typescript together. Not familiar with Typescript? No problem! A lightning fast - but comprehensive - tutorial is included!

Once you're ready with React and Typescript, you'll dive into our big project. You are going to build an interactive browser-based coding environment. It's like a Jupyter Notebook, but for Javascript, with many additional features added in. Yes, this is what you are going to build in this course! You will solve incredible challenges around bundling and transpiling code directly in the browser. This is a task normally done by running Webpack and Babel at your terminal! You will execute users' code safely in the browser just like how famous services like CodeSandBox and CodePen do. Finally, you'll deploy this project using a multi-package architecture to NPM, where your friends and employers can easily download and run your project.

During this entire project, I will show you a variety of different solutions to an incredible number of problems. I will show you step-by-step how to solve each problem. You will also see many concerns around performance and security addressed.

At the end of the course, you will have an amazing portfolio project with excellent looks and functionality. You will understand every line of code, and be able to explain every bit to potential employers.

Here's a partial list of the topics that will be covered in this course:

• Master the use of React, Redux, and Typescript together

• Build a complex and interesting app using a package-based architecture

• Understand the challenges of in-browser code transpiling and and processing
