Korshub's take

A project-first way to practice React fundamentals

This two-hour course strips React.js down to a single, achievable build: a two-player Tic Tac Toe game made from the ground up. Rather than lecturing through theory, it starts a fresh React application and walks through turning a plain HTML/CSS template into reusable functional components — the exact workflow used on real projects.

What you'll actually practice

Structuring a UI as small, reusable React components
Managing game state as moves are made
Writing the logic that detects a winner

Who it's for: the course is explicit that it isn't a first introduction to React — it assumes you already know the basics and treats the two hours as a hands-on refresher rather than a tutorial from zero. If you've done the fundamentals elsewhere and want a compact project to cement them (and a finished app for your portfolio), this fits neatly into an afternoon.

About this course

In this short 2 hour course you will build out a simple 2 player Tic Tac Toe game using React.js. This will be built from the ground up, starting with creating your own new React application. Then breaking a simple HTML / CSS template into reusable functional React components. Lastly you'll also create and maintaining the necessary state needed for the game as well as writing the logic for calculating a win etc.

By doing this course you can add a full application to your portfolio, which can be incredibly helpful for getting a job in the industry. Plus you'll be able to play a few games of a classic puzzle game ;). The knowledge gained in this course will also see you up for slightly more advanced projects in the future. It is 2 hours long, however the detail given during this time can be used for future projects also. Not just this one.

Please note: This course is not for beginners. And will not spend much time talking about the basics of React. So it is suggested that you have at least a little bit of knowledge before taking the course. Overall it's a great refresher for those who understand the basics.
