Description

Webpack is a module bundler for modern JavaScript applications. It is powerful and highly configurable, thanks in great part to its plugin system.  It is the part that builds your code. ReactJS is the framework that allows you to build your web applications. They work together to create a system that allows you to develop and build your own front-end applications.This comprehensive 3-in-1 course will teach you the basics of Webpack and how to configure it in your web applications by developing a blogging application. You will then learn the advanced features of Webpack by building a dynamic responsive photo gallery application in React and configuring it with Webpack. You will also learn how to deploy web applications supported by Babel, code splitting, and ES2015 modules. The approach used is quite hands-on and aims to provide the learner with a very practical knowledge of Webpack.This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.In the first course, Hands-on Webpack for React Development, you will be shown the benefits of using Webpack for React based development. You will then be given an exhaustive walkthrough of Webpack loaders. You will also learn how to develop apps using Webpack Dev servers. Next, you will learn how to use React components and containers in your blogging application to add features such as text markup, searching, and listing posted articles. Finally, you will learn how you can lazy-load your application to save your time when you split your code.In the second course, Webpack for React Applications,  you will learn how to use Webpack with a real project. You will then learn how to build a dynamic responsive photo gallery application in React to understand more advanced features. You will also learn how to deploy your application to dynamic cloud hosting sites such as AWS.The third course, Deploying Web Applications with Webpack, will empower you to configure and work with Webpack. You will explore the latest features provided by Webpack. You will also learn how to deploy web applications supported by Babel, code splitting, and ES2015 modules.By the end of this Learning Path, you will master webpack to optimize the performance of your React applications by improving workflows.Meet Your Expert(s):We have the best work of the following esteemed author(s) to ensure that your learning journey is smooth:Rohan Almeida, is a full-stack developer with more than 15 years of experience in developing custom web-based and mobile applications.
