React is a JavaScript library for building web user interfaces. It is one of the most wanted and loved web frameworks today. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs on top of web standards. This Introduction to React using JavaScript/ECMAScript training course teaches developers the skills they need to immediately use React to build modern applications. Attendees gain hands-on experience with the latest version of React and the tools for developing React applications.

Note: This React class can also be taught using TypeScript.
