Creating shared logic across components without causing unnecessary re-renders can be tricky.
Sometimes React's declarative approach isn't enough, and we need escape hatches to handle imperative tasks.
You need advanced techniques like portals to work with complex UIs that need to render outside the component tree.
Here's why you should register for the workshop.
useReducerLearn how useReducer can help you consolidate and manage complex state logic in a clean, maintainable way.
Discover how React’s Context API can expose shared state across your application without prop drilling.
useImperativeHandleWhen React's declarative approach doesn't cut it, you'll learn how to use useImperativeHandle for imperative control.
createPortalExplore how portals can help you render UI elements like modals or tooltips outside of the normal DOM hierarchy.
Learn how to keep React in sync with external data sources using useSyncExternalStore and ensure server rendering works as expected.

Depending on the questions asked during the workshop, or necessary changes in the material, the actual content of the workshop could differ from the above mentioned topics.
My primary goal is retention. If you can't remember what I've taught you, then the whole experience was a waste of our time.
With that in mind, we'll follow the teaching strategy I've developed over years of teaching (learn more about my teaching strategy here).
The short version is, you'll spend the majority of time working through exercises that are specifically crafted to help you experiment with topics you may have never experienced before. I intentionally put you into the deep end and let you struggle a bit to prepare your brain for the instruction.
Based on both my personal experience and scientific research around how people learn, this is an incredibly efficient way to ensure you understand and remember what you're learning. This is just one of the strategies I employ to improve your retention. I think you'll love it!
I'm excited to be your guide as we learn together!
What others have to say
Before meeting Kent, I was well versed in JS and intermediate in React. After going through his content (EpicReact + TestingJavaScript), asking questions in Discord and office hours, I learned so much that at the end I wrote my own book on React & test driven design!

I was speechless the moment Kent C Dodds started teaching me about Compound Components, In Epic React Course. The quality of content he puts on for the community is incredible.
