This module will teach you how to make use of Firebase's functionality in a React app.

React Development for Professionals

If you've tried to create a web app before, you know it's not always simple. Before you even start coding, you have to decide which tools and frameworks to use for the frontend, what platform to use for the backend, and how to make them work together.

Pairing Firebase with React takes that stress away. Firebase is a cutting-edge backend platform that integrates beautifully with React apps.

This module will teach you how to use Firebase's functionality in a React app. From basic authentication to complex topics like session handling, you'll leave with the ability to create and deploy awesome web apps with ease.

Along the way, you'll build your own React app and connect it to a Firebase backend.
