Hello everyone,

My team at Debug Academy and I teach refined local career-changing development courses at Debug Academy ( https://debugacademy.com ).

We are offering a full day hands-on ReactJS training at a metro-accessible location in Tysons Corner, VA (March 31st & April 7 - choose one). This same training is sold out at the upcoming DrupalCon Nashville, but you can take it here first!

Why learn ReactJS?

JavaScript Frameworks have been taking the web by storm for years. ReactJS has become a clear frontrunner with its ability to implement fast, slick, interactive web components without excessive complexity. Adding ReactJS to your skill set enables you to improve websites with app-like components that are better and faster than what Drupal could do on its own. Once you get to using React you'll fall in love with it - it's really fun!

Target audience

This course is meant for intermediate to advanced web and Drupal developers looking to add ReactJS to their skillset. To benefit from the course you must have a solid understanding of web development. Prerequisite knowledge includes mid-senior level proficiency with either PHP or JavaScript.

Our Approach

Drupal 8 is a stellar CMS which is more than capable of standing on its own. But when it comes to building app-like websites, JavaScript frameworks have taken the web by storm, and React is leading the pack.

In this course, we will give a section of our Drupal 8 website a boost by building a ReactJS App.

We'll modify an existing Drupal 8 website to prepare it for integration with a decoupled application. This portion of the training provides you with knowledge applicable to a variety of external frameworks: React, Vue, Angular, even Alexa and Google home.

We'll then build and launch a React app from start to finish. We will set it up to display data from our existing Drupal 8 website as well as to create (and POST) data back to our Drupal 8 website.

We don't want to lose many of the benefits that Drupal core and contrib provide us with, so we will only decouple select pages and functionality using the React app we will build.

What will we cover?

  • Learn React Fundamentals
  • Write clearer ReactJS with JSX
  • Drupal 8 set up for integration with external front end frameworks
  • Building a ReactJS app
  • Integrating the ReactJS app with Drupal 8
  • Note: Some of the topics covered are applicable to integrating D8 with Alexa/Angular/etc

Our full-day hands-on course includes powerpoint presentations, written lessons you can take home, and a hands-on project. We recommend enrolling quickly - these classes will be restricted to about 10 students so that attendees can be given individual support.

How to enroll?

To attend the course, please enroll for March 31st or April 7th at: https://debugacademy.com/reactjs-course-registration

Cost

The class is being offered locally for over 10% less than what it sold out for at DrupalCon Nashville. You may enroll for $400 (compare to $450 for the same course which sold out DrupalCon Nashville).

A few people have asked if

A few people have asked if this class is appropriate for Drupal 7 developers. In short, yes. The vast majority of the class is spent learning React, and you can apply what you learn to Drupal 7, Drupal 8, and other projects.

One more thing for clarity: you can also use React on sites that are not decoupled at all. For example, swap out an integer field with a slider widget. We will demonstrate this during the class as well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone who signed up for tomorrow's React training!

The React class is now sold out tomorrow (3/31) and at DrupalCon Nashville, but there are still a few spots left for next Saturday's April 7 class - please reach out if you have any questions. We're keeping the local class sizes small. If you'd like to sign up for next week, please get in touch as soon as possible.

Friendly reminder: The ReactJS for Drupal in a day class is being offered this Saturday from 9am-5pm. This is the same class that sold out at DrupalCon Nashville, but there are a few seats left for this Saturday. Breakfast and lunch are included (vegan options available). Last week's class went well and the group seemed to enjoy it. Let me know if you have any questions!

Feedback from last Saturday's ReactJS class:
"I enjoyed the class. You have a way of teaching things that are difficult and make it understandable. You did a wonderful job."

You walk out of the class with the knowledge needed to start using ReactJS on any project (even if the project is not decoupled).
