Working with React and Go (Golang): Build a SPA with a Go Back End REST API
🌟 Course Headline: Dive into the world of full-stack development by learning to create dynamic Single Page Applications (SPAs) with React, and harness the power of efficient backend services using Go. This course will guide you through the process of building a robust application where both front end and back end are optimized for performance and maintainability.
Course Description:
React and Go are a formidable duo in today's fast-paced development world. React, renowned as the king of front-end JavaScript frameworks, is the perfect tool for creating responsive user interfaces that provide an exceptional user experience. On the other hand, Go (Golang), with its simplicity and efficiency, is a top choice for backend services, particularly REST APIs.
🎓 What You'll Learn:
- React Fundamentals: Master React life cycle, components, functional components, props, state, and more.
- Go Back End: Learn to build secure, scalable REST APIs with Go.
- Data Handling: Understand how to manage data between your React front end and the Go back end.
- SPA Development: Construct a Single Page Application that is both user-friendly and powerful.
- State Management: Explore various state management techniques using React hooks.
- APIs Integration: Call local and remote APIs, and handle JSON and GraphQL requests.
- Authentication: Implement JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure access control.
- Modern Development Practices: Work with the latest versions of React (v18) and React Router (v6).
Course Structure:
🚀 Project-Based Learning:
-
Part 1: Foundations with React
- Learn about class components, functional components, hooks, and best practices.
- Build a simple application to understand the core concepts of React.
-
Part 2: Building a Full-Stack SPA
- Construct a full-fledged Single Page Web Application with both front end (React) and back end (Go).
- Implement RESTful API endpoints in Go and integrate them with your React application.
- Manage state, handle user authentication, and ensure data security.
📚 Legacy Course Version: We have updated the course to include the latest React and React Router versions (v18 & v6).
