Node, React, and Redux has quickly become the mainstream choices for the modern webstack. There are many resources out there to learn each of these areas but very few of them clearly show how to tie everything together into a working, live project. In this 2-day workshop, we will do exactly that - build an entire web application with React, Redux, MongoDB, Bootstrap and more.

WHAT WE WILL BUILD

Over the weekend, we will build a generic web app that supports the key functionality required in most modern websites today. It will have user registration/login with password encryption, image uploading, a REST API, Google Maps integration, search-by-location support, and automated email functionality. The key tools will include:

• React
• Redux
• Node JS
• Twilio
• Bootstrap
• Stripe for payments processing
• Email notification
• Google Maps, and Google Maps API

This stack covers most of the key areas of a modern web application and brings together many interlocking pieces. 

SCHEDULE

• Saturday: 10am - 6pm
• Sunday: 10am - 6pm

WHO THIS IS FOR

Students should have a understanding of JavaScript (ES6), REST API's and have a basic knowledge of React components. Due to the short timeframe, we will move quickly. However, the sessions will be video recorded so if you cannot keep up, you can review videos afterward.

REQUIRED

Please have a laptop (preferably a Mac) with Node, Mongo and a standard text editor installed.
