Can we please have a course on React.JS? Thanks.

Is it possible to have a course on React.JS?

You might tag somebody from JS by writing @ and their name attached .

This seems to be long overdue. Happy to see it's in the planning stages - any chance of an estimated release date?

Thanks for the news Andrew Chalkley ! Can I recommend also to plan a react-native course? It's really useful, especially for frontenders. I actually had to develop a react-native app for my last job and had to rely on examples and their documentation. I wold love to see Treehouse's approach as developers online don't follow the same techniques at all.

It's got more than double the votes of any other card and it's not even in the planning stage yet?!

Hey Matt,

The Trello board isn't up to date. Some of the "Planned Courses" and "In Progress" have been launched.

We're still planning on doing React content shortly.

Regards,
Andrew

I second that forget Angular. React.js is the future.

As a general rule when learning to program you don't want to chase trends,

Good tip James Barnett but React seems solid being one of the core framework for Facebook.

+1 on React Native and Flux pattern

Here's a link to conference videos if anyone is interested http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/02/18/react-conf-roundup-2015.html

Also a tutorial on https://scotch.io/tutorials/learning-react-getting-started-and-concepts

I would not go that far...Angular is still a big player...but React is also a rising star. They are different tools for different jobs.

Yes, and some of us use Treehouse for getting better at our actual job. I would also like to see more trends here, a developer's job is to learn. I don't like having to look on other sites for courses is the material is not here, I love Treehuose teachers! James Barnett

This is pretty disappointing. People have voted for it a massive amount (more than any other course suggestion I've ever seen) and it's not even planned? https://trello.com/b/r5R1JZNO/treehouse-javascript-content-roadmap

I can't talk to a frontend dev about their workflow without them immediately bringing up React...

Who scouts for what content you're going to produce? Shouldn't you guys be slightly ahead of the curve on this kind of stuff? React has been out, and been insanely popular, for what? 2 or 3 years? That's an insanely long time in the web dev world.

Someone higher up needs to push the button this thing......

Edit For those who can't wait another year for this course to be produced:

At some point it stops being about quality control and starts being about the decision-makers at Treehouse being completely out of touch with modern web development.

It's been a while from the original post, and react grew even more popular...

React.JS please! Ember would also be cool --for larger apps.

Feels like it might be tough with ng2 also coming out. There will need to be an effort to cover both frameworks if they really want to stay as relevant as egghead.io and ng2book

Instagram is using React. It would be pretty cool to learn it :)
