Learn ReactJS for Drupal in our hands-on 1-day course

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 near the Rosslyn metro stop in Arlington, VA (July 28th). We offered this training at the most recent DrupalCon to a sold out crowd - if you missed it then, you have another chance to take it! Food will be served.

The JavaScript initiative team is working on building a ReactJS app for Drupal Core. Don't be left on the sidelines - gain the skills needed to utilize the latest technology on your projects!

What we teach can be applied to new & old, Drupal 8 & D7 sites, with or without decoupling the website. We will walk you through multiple approaches and work on multiple React apps.

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

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 in size so that attendees can be given individual support.
