React is by far the most popular framework for modern web applications. Numerous well-known companies – such as Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix – rely on React in their front end. Why? Often older web applications tend to accumulate indispensable and difficult to maintain code. With React, however, it is much easier to produce reusable and simpler code.

React relies on a revolutionary concept: Dividing the web interface into small, encapsulated UI components. The individual components are then programmed using a HTML-like declarative language called JSX. React efficiently presents the content and knows when each component needs to be re-rendered. In the end, the components are put together like pieces of a puzzle to form a large, complete picture: the user interface.

React provides the right tools, but they must also be used correctly. And in our experience, this is where many teams fail. A development team that relies on React needs the basic technical knowledge and plenty of practical expertise to produce successful websites.

Our React training is ideal for teams just starting out or who have already had their first experiences with React and now wish to get better. We know how difficult the transition can be in the beginning and have tailored the content of our React workshop accordingly. For Zooplus AG, for example, we conducted a workshop focused on design patterns of React components.
