Follow me on twitterThat's exacly what this course will enable you to do: at the end of it you'll both have a solid understanding of React.js and your very own personalised chat application. The chat will be built using the Chatkit API, meaning you don't have worry about doing any back-end coding.
NOTE: THE CHATKIT API HAS BEEN DEPRECATED, MEANING YOU CAN'T RUN THE CODE IN THESE CASTS.
Course content
The course contains 19 screencasts in total, and the chat app you'll create contains handy features like multiple rooms, the ability to create new rooms, autoscrolling, and more.
Towards the end, you'll also learn a little bit of CSS Grid and CSS Variables, as it'll help you modify the design so that'll become your very own personalised app.
Per Harald Borgen is the instructor behind the very popular CSS Grid, Flexbox and CSS Variables courses here at Scrimba, so you'll be in good hands. You can follow him on Twitter here.
The course assumes you know basic React beforehand. If you've gone through our Learn React For Free course, you'll be well equipped to tackle this one.
