# CS571 React & React Native ## Course Overview - University: University of Wisconsin, Madison - Prerequisites: CS400 (Advanced Java, but it is not necessary in my opinion) - Programming Languages: JavaScript/HTML/CSS - Course Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟 - Estimated Time Commitment: 2h/week (lecture) + 4-10h/week (HW), 12 weeks This course provides a comprehensive but concise introduction to the best practices of React front-end development and React Native mobile development. It focuses on the latest versions of React and React Native and is updated every semester. It is a valuable resource for tackling the complexities of front-end development. The course also offers a good training ground. Be prepared for a significant workload throughout the semester. If you are unsure about how to write React code when doing homework, I recommend spending extra time carefully reading the relevant chapters on react.dev before diving in. All course materials are open-source, but you will need to request an X-CS571-ID header from the instructor, Cole Nelson (ctnelson2@wisc.edu). The header will be necessary for API request. When sending an email, it is advisable to include a brief self-introduction. ## Course Resources - Course Website: - Course Videos: Refer to the links labeled "R" on the course website. - Course Assignments: Refer to the course website for more information.
