Module III: Learning React

This module provides an overview of React, a popular JavaScript library used for building user interfaces (UI) in web applications. The course covers the fundamental concepts of React, including components, JSX, state, and lifecycle methods. It also introduces modern React hooks and how they simplify state management in functional components. Additionally, the course explores the concept of Single Page Applications (SPA) and how React can be used to create dynamic web applications that update data without reloading the page. Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience by building and working with React components, learning both class-based and functional component approaches.

In this module, students will embark on an engaging journey into the world of APIs and how data is exchanged and presented on the web. They'll get a deep dive into what an API is, its significance in today's digital landscape, and the role of JSON as the standard format for transmitting data. Leveraging the power of React, participants will learn how to parse and handle JSON data, render it dynamically on a webpage, and enhance their skill set by mastering the art of componentization and data-passing using props. By the end of this lesson, students will not only understand the fundamentals of APIs and JSON but will also have a hands-on project, fit for a portfolio, showcasing a real-world application of their newly acquired knowledge. Dive in and uncover the magic behind the scenes of your favorite web applications!

In creating a "Not Netflix" clone, students will apply React skills such as component-based development, JSX, and Virtual DOM to build a user interface with independent and reusable components. They will utilize state management for handling dynamic data, implement React Router for seamless navigation, and create a Single Page Application (SPA) for smooth transitions between different sections. Additionally, they'll use data fetching to integrate with APIs and provide users with a functional and responsive platform for browsing and viewing content similar to Netflix.
