Master Modern React to Build High-Performance Apps

Why Intermediate React

Build Scalable, Modern React Apps

Go Beyond the Basics

Understand how and when to use React in the client side, static site generation, and server-side rendering. Explore React Server Components and gain experience using them both with and without Next.js.

Build Real-World Apps with New React Features

Set up React Server Components from scratch and inside Next.js, implement server actions, and fetch data seamlessly between server and client boundaries.

Optimize Performance

Understand React’s built-in optimization primitives like useTransition, useDeferredValue, useOptimistic, memo, and useCallback to reduce re-renders, prevent jank, and deliver a responsive UI.

Stay Ahead with Production-Ready Skills

The tools and best-practices you'll pick up—like component-driven development, Next.js, and scalable architecture—mirror what's being used in top-tier React codebases today.
