Intermediate Course
React.js
Want to know how thousands of coders are writing cleaner, more flexible Javascript? Learn how to use Facebook’s open-source Javascript library, React.js, to create user interface components and make your code quicker and easier to work with.
On this course, we’ll take a practical approach to building front-end web applications, and you’ll learn how to work more efficiently by creating modular layouts that can be quickly moved around and re-arranged.
This is a great next step for students who have already completed our Foundation HTML, CSS + JS or Advanced CSS + Javascript courses.

Here’s how we’re different...
Support that actually helps.
1:1 sessions and forever-access to our online Slack community of creative students from around the world, learning to code together. With our team based worldwide, we can support you whether you're coding early in the morning or late at night.
You’ll make 4 real websites in 4 weeks.
Our course is practical, unlike other programs that take a month or more before you make your first website. We care about design and focus on creative industries — you're not learning computer science, you're learning to make websites you'd want to make.
Structured, yet flexible.
Our course is set-up to deliver 4 real projects — no bullshit — and we designed it so it’s totally flexible. While you can learn at your own pace, we’ll be here to guide you each week.
Design focused.
You don't need to be creative to take our courses, but everything we do is focused on making beautiful sites you actually want to make. This isn't your average online school — we focus on the practical aspect of learning.
Who is the course for?
Anyone who is already confident (or confident-ish) with basic Javascript and wants to level up by taking a dive into building more feature-complete and immersive web apps in React.
React is becoming increasingly popular amongst designers as it takes a component based approach aimed at re-using interface patterns and code. This makes prototyping and building real-world apps very quick without having to worry about technical nitty gritty.
Most of our students work in the creative industries – designers, strategists and copywriters are the most common jobs amongst our students – but you can work in any industry to join the course.
What do I need?
A computer with Mac OS X 10.9 or above, Windows XP or above, or a recent Linux version installed and a broadband internet connection. That’s it!
What to expect
In reassuringly linear chronological order, here’s what will happen after you sign up.
Every Sunday evening or Monday night (depending on your timezone!), you'll get access to the next week's projects, which include video tutorials, homework and questions to test yourself against.
There will be around 3-4 hours of lessons a week – split into 5–30 minute long videos. It's up to your schedule when you do the videos – there's no live streaming as we cater for a worldwide audience.
