A lot of aspiring developers and even experienced frontend developers tend to get hung up on the complex dependencies and setup requirements just to get started writing web applications. Not with this course. The first coding chapter uses no libraries at all and the rest of the course uses easy-to-use boilerplate templates for you to get started with.

This course showcases a new standard called web components, which allows us to write re-usable and framework agnostic components without the need of any tooling or libraries. You'll be able to write your own lightning fast web component powered apps or build single components to drag & drop into your existing projects, independent of what framework you're using.

Web components work with Angular, React, Vue and many more frameworks out of the box.

This course goes well beyond the basics of web components by teaching real-world best practices for efficiently building web apps. Whether you're a beginner or have existing experience with web development, I've made sure to pack the course full with my years of experience building products the right way. Topics include:

Web components basics:

• The theory and concept behind web components and all four parts of the spec

• How do define custom elements and deal with the lifecycle of a component

• Managing state and rendering to the shadow DOM

• Different concepts on how component communication can be managed

• Introduction to new CSS pseudo selectors for web components like :host or ::slotted

• Building your first app with the technologies mentioned above

Real-world automated tests via ESLint & Karma

• Implementing linting vis ESLint

• Setting up prettier for automatic code-formatting

• Unit and integration testing via Karma

• Setting up Istanbul for code coverage reports

• Setting up CircleCI for Continuous Integration, so tests run with every push to your repo

• Setting up slack notifications for failed and fixed tests

• Adding CI badges to your repos to highlight the status of your tests

After taking this course, you’ll have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of the web components standard, and will be confident enough to build production grade apps powered by web components.
