I'm just wondering will there be any courses on React.js, Angular.js or Ember.js? Those three are still very popular in the web app development world.

There are courses on Angluar.js and Ember.js in the library right now. I am not sure of any updates to either of these with the recent release of Angular 2.0.
In terms of React.js I don't know if it is officially on the Roadmap for a course or workshop yet but Andrew Chalkley wrote a recent blog article on React.js. There are also several votes for a course on it on the JavaScript Roadmap on Trello.
Hope that helps a bit.

15,087 PointsI hope we can get a react.js course. It seems like it is creating a lot of buzz for all the right reasons. The problem is I need to learn a framework soon because my agency keeps selling web apps and JavaScript gets a bit lengthy and never great when changes are needed weeks or even months later.
I have tried meteor and it was pretty decent but haven't tried it on a project yet.
Jason - how was ember?

For 2.0 its in alpha now, but will be released with major breaking things, so it will need complete new courses. Not sure 2.0 will be production ready, so maybe you will need to wait for 2.1 to use it in real project.

13,607 PointsI really like the ides behind React but have found it hard to find a good resource for learning especially when you get into the full stack build with react-router, Flux and Flow. Would love to see some lessons here on TH because the staff here do a great job of breaking things into simple steps and building from that!!

12,874 PointsI want to learn React but it seems (i'm not a pro, so i'm just giving an opinion) that it only makes sense if you have a very robust UI or complex DOM structure, otherwise it seems like most fullstack javascript frameworks (like Meteor) handle model changes and DOM updating very quickly, at least it has with the projects i've created with it, granted none of them have complicated DOM structures.
A course would be awesome, but if anyone can explain to me why I would want or need to use React over most javascript frameworks pre-packaged DOM handling, I would appreciate it.

13,607 PointsHey Brett, I am exploring both Meteor and React. As far as React goes I think the link above to Andrew's blog post sums it up pretty well. http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/react-hype-real I also like the idea that it is SEO friendly where Meteor requires some hoop jumping. For corporations, I feel Meteor's biggest current limitation is not supporting MySQL and React may be the better choice if you are looking for work in that type of environment.
