Intermediate Frontend Premium

Frontend Engineering with React

DRAFT PLACEHOLDER PRICING — not a live purchasable SKU while unpublished.

Frontend Engineering with React teaches you to design, build, test, and ship professional React applications on **React 19**, **TypeScript**, and **Vite 8**.

You will LEARN component architecture, routing shells, accessible forms, and server-state discipline; BUILD authenticated API-consuming UIs with loading/empty/error states and automated tests; and GROW the judgment to make frontend security, performance, and production-deployment decisions.

This is not a “React hooks tour” and not a backend course. Full-Stack teaches cross-stack product thinking; Backend owns Laravel APIs. This Premium track is the structured frontend specialist curriculum with practice, assessment, and a portfolio-grade **Builder Learning Progress Console** capstone.

## Technical baseline

- **React 19.x** - **TypeScript** (strict) - **Vite 8.x** - **React Router** - **TanStack Query** (server state) - **Vitest + Testing Library** - **Zod** (client schema validation)
