Server Side Rendering with React and Redux
Why take this course?
🚀 Server Side Rendering with React and Redux: Master Isomorphic & Universal JS Techniques 🌐
Course Headline:
Unlock the full potential of your web applications by mastering Server Side Rendering (SSR) using React, Redux, React Router, and Express. This comprehensive course will guide you through building a real-world application that leverages the power of SSR for a seamless user experience.
Course Description:
📚 Preparation Note: This course builds upon your existing knowledge of React, Redux, and Express. If you're starting from scratch, I highly recommend my course 'Node with React' to provide a solid foundation. Now, let's dive into the world of Server Side Rendering!
Why SSR? 🤔 Server Side Rending is a technique where the server generates HTML which includes not only the static parts of the page but also the parts that are normally handled by the client-side JavaScript. This leads to faster initial page load, better SEO, and a more performant application. Yet, it's not without its challenges.
Learn by Doing: This course is designed for hands-on learning. You won't find here any tedious endless lectures with PowerPoints. Instead, you'll engage in live, interactive coding examples, building one application that encapsulates the challenges and benefits of SSR. This approach ensures a deep understanding of when and how to apply each concept effectively.
The Most Complete Resource: You might have noticed the scarcity of comprehensive resources on SSR. Blog posts often show snippets, but rarely provide a full experience. This course stands out as the most complete resource online for learning about server side rendering with React, Redux, React Router, and Express. You'll uncover the biggest hurdles and learn multiple solutions to each major problem, equipping you with an arsenal of tools for your own applications.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
- Architectural Considerations: Understand the intricacies of building a server side rendered app.
- Webpack Integration: Learn how to connect your front-end and back-end applications using Webpack.
- State Management: Effectively communicate data from your server to your client, utilizing Redux's initial state.
- Security: Secure your application against common XSS attacks that arise with state rehydration.
- Routing: Master routing user requests with React Router on the front-end and Express on the back-end.
- Error Handling: Properly handle errors and redirects during server rendering.
- Authentication: Implement cookie-based authentication, understanding why JWT's may not be the best choice in SSR applications.
- OAuth Authentication: Enhance your application's authentication flow with Google OAuth.
Join Me on this Journey: I've crafted this course based on what I wished I had when I was learning to build server side rendered applications. It's designed to explain concepts in the most logical order, ensuring you not only learn but deeply understand how to implement SSR techniques effectively.

Our Verdict
Server Side Rendering with React and Redux by Stephen Grider offers a solid foundation for understanding server-side rendering concepts while developing an app containing essential functionalities. However, the need for updates due to outdated tools or lack of modern React components may present some hurdles in making the most of this otherwise informative and engaging course. Explore it if you're eager to dive into the world of SSR with vanilla Universal React applications but have experience converting classes to functional components.
What We Liked
- Covers raw concepts behind Server Side Rendering (SSR) thoroughly, making it a great foundation for understanding possible SSR concepts.
- Instructor's pace is excellent and explanations are clear, beneficial for learners with attention difficulties.
- Develops an app during the course containing modern web app functionalities like authentication mechanisms.
- Clear diagrams comparing client-side vs. SSR-react apps, making it easily understandable.
Potential Drawbacks
- Needs updates since some tools are outdated, causing console log errors and broken apps.
- Lacks more specific information for larger projects with multiple pages.
- Could provide additional detail on how Lazy loading works in the context of SSR.
- Missing modern React components like functional components and hooks.
