During my time at Hack Oregon I took an introduction courses on React.JS and ES6.

We covered a fair amount of territory over the course of 8 weeks. We met two times a week for 2.5 hours.

ES6: React:
  • Arrow functions and let keyword; Block scopes
  • Classes and inheritance; Default parameters
  • Destructured assignment
  • Generators; Iterators; Maps
  • Promises; Rest parameters; Sets
  • Spread operator; Template Literals
  • Classes
  • Enhanced object literals
  • Template strings
  • Let + const
  • Iterators + for..of
  • Generators
  • Introducing JSX
  • Rendering Elements
  • Components and Props
  • State and Lifecycle
  • Handling Events
  • Conditional Rendering
  • Lists and Keys
  • Forms
  • Lifting State Up
  • Composition vs Inheritance
  • Web Components
  • Higher-Order Components
  • Integrating with Other Libraries
  • Typechecking With PropTypes
  • Storing History

My Capstone

All of the work is served from GitHub pages, and that data is managed by Firebase.
