Description
If you had a passion
for games growing up, you’re likely no stranger to connect-4 - a wildly popular
game with the objective of connecting four single colored disks into a
grid-like holder before your opponent. With this course you have the
opportunity to relive this fond childhood memory by building a connect-4 clone
using React.
React, also known as React JS, is a powerful JavaScript library used for
building custom, interactive user interfaces using UI components. Some of the
most well known examples of organizations using React for their front-end
include Netflix, Facebook, and Airbnb. Developed and maintained by Meta along
with a community of independent developers, React remains free and open-source.
React is a component based library built entirely on JavaScript, which makes it
perfect for designing complex UI’s. With React, developers can build
encapsulated components that efficiently manage their own state and render UI
updates specifically when data changes. For example, think of the automated content
refresh feature you see on a twitter feed, or Facebook like button. Here the
state of the UI component changes on the page, without having to manually
refresh when the data is updated. This is just one small, yet powerful feature
of React.
Through a complete hands-on project, this course will teach you all the
fundamental principles of React that you must know to become a proficient React
developer. We start with the tools needed to get started with React, along with
instructions on creating the Connect-4 game board. From there we dive in to
React OnClick Events, Passing Props, Destructing, React Children, and Passing
Arguments. With a solid understanding of the foundations, students move on to
various styling techniques for the game components, along with Dynamic classes,
and handling callbacks. Here we’ll explore inline, global, and dynamic styling
coupled with dynamic classes. We will then move on to the React State Hook,
React Key Property and initializing the game modules. Students then tackle more
intermediate concepts including the logical components of calculating a winner,
determining a draw, and React Lifecycle events. In the last module, we explore
the implementation of AI for automated move suggestions, and single player
games.
In addition to the hands-on React module, we also offer a comprehensive
overview of JavaScript for those who need a refresher. Here we start with
introducing students to the document object model (DOM) which defines the
logical structure of HTML documents. From there we dive into JavaScript to
demonstrate various methods in which DOM elements can be manipulated to add
interactivity to static components. We start right from the basics, which
includes JavaScript placement, and data output. From there we move on to variable
declaration, arithmetic operations, operator precedence, data types, and
objects. Once the foundations are covered, we move on to more complex
operations using Arrays, Conditional Statements, JavaScript comparison
operators, Booleans and loops. Here students will learn to unleash the true
power of JavaScript to render different outcomes based on user interaction. We
will explore the use of functions to efficiently handle repetitive tasks and
JavaScript events to handle output based on actions and occurrences. The
section will conclude with a hands-on project where students will implement
their knowledge to build a web based photo gallery and background color
changer.
