Who this course is for
Three people take this course. The work is the same; the reason is different.
Fresh graduates
You have the degree, but the job ads ask for proof of skill.
Build a portfolio before the next hiring round, not after it.
Career switchers
You are experienced elsewhere, new to this field, and starting from zero.
Learn the vocabulary and ship one published project that proves the switch.
Proof, not notes
What you will build
Every module ends in something finished. These are the pieces you leave with.
What changes
What you will be able to do
Not definitions to recite — tasks you can open a laptop and complete.
Roles this supports Front-end developer or React trainee roles · Full-stack trainee positions where the UI is React · Freelance and internship work building dashboards and landing pages
- Build components as functions and compose screens out of them, instead of one huge page file
- Pass data with props, render lists with keys, and handle conditions without duplicated markup
- Manage state with useState, including controlled forms that do not lose what the user typed
- Fetch an API in useEffect and handle the loading, error and empty states a real app needs
- Route between screens with react-router and deep-link into a detail page
- Deploy to a free host and write the README that makes the link count as proof

Course curriculum
5 modules · 15 lessons. Open a module to see its outcome and lesson titles.
Module 1 Components and JSX The mental model. Once a screen is a tree of functions, everything else is detail.
- 01 A component is just a function Free preview
- 02 Props, children and composition
- 03 Lists, keys and conditional rendering
Deliverable 3 practice tasks, one per lesson
Module 2 State, effects and live data The interactive half. Forms that work, data that loads, and the three states every screen needs.
- 04 useState and controlled forms
- 05 useEffect and fetching an API
- 06 Loading, error and empty states
Deliverable 3 practice tasks, one per lesson
Module 3 Shipping a portfolio app Routing, looks and a live link. A project nobody can open is not a project.
Deliverable 3 practice tasks, one per lesson
Module 4 State that scales UseReducer, Context and your own hooks, so state does not turn into ten tangled useState calls.
- 10 useReducer for state with rules
- 11 Context: sharing state without prop drilling
- 12 Custom hooks: your own useSomething
Deliverable 3 practice tasks, one per lesson
Module 5 Forms, performance and access Forms with real validation, lists that stay smooth, and markup a keyboard can use.
- 13 Forms with validation and clear errors
- 14 Lists at scale: keys, memo and windowing
- 15 Accessibility in a React app
Deliverable 3 practice tasks, one per lesson

How the course works
Every lesson follows the same four steps. No passive video playlists.

Build and publish a project
Each module ends in work you can open, explain and attach to an application.

The work is the proof
A fresher interview cannot assess a certificate. It can assess a project you can open, explain and change on the spot — which is why every course here ends in one.
- A finished project brief with an evaluation checklist
- A shareable repository, dashboard or case study
- A certificate that records the work, once every lesson is done
Frequently asked questions
The answers that decide whether this is the right six weeks.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every lesson, practice task and project brief on this page is free to read, and no card is required. A free account only saves your progress and unlocks the certificate.
Do I need coding experience?
No. This course is written for intermediate learners and every lesson starts from the tool itself. If you can use a browser and a file, you can start lesson one today.
How long will it take?
About 7 weeks. The course holds 15 lessons, each built around one practice task, so the calendar depends on how many sessions you can keep each week.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Finish every lesson while signed in and a certificate with your name, the course, the date and the skills covered unlocks on this site. It is a record of work completed here, not an accredited qualification.
What should I learn next?
The next course in this route is Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp. Finish its first module before applying, so your portfolio shows a direction rather than a list of starts.
