Netguru College: Frontend React

During the online workshops you will build a Wikipedia Map from scratch - the React application for exploring Wikipedia articles, displayed on Google Maps. We would like to give you hands-on experience of building React web applications: from design in Figma, through creating tasks and user stories like in our everyday work. This is not yet another React course.You won’t create a simple to-do list. You will get your hands dirty with a real-world project.

After the workshops you will know:

• How to use the Google Maps API to display a map and markers on it
• How to use the Wikimedia API to pull articles and their details directly from Wikipedia
• How to model API clients for extending and learning easily
• How to deploy and host your application for free using Netlify
• How to implement the Mediator Pattern and design business logic with no hassle
• How to make your app beautiful with AntDesign and styled-components
• How to set up environment variables safely in development and production
• How to manage your application state with a breeze using react-sweet-state and immer

Don’t worry if you feel it’s too much for you (feeling overwhelmed?) - our experienced developers will guide you through the entire process, and you will be able ask questions on the dedicated Slack channel.
