By the end of this project, you will use React with Express to build a Web Application that consumes JSON data from an existing Express API. Often, a dynamic web application consists of many different technologies and programming languages. Creating a web application with NodeJS, Express, and React allows the developer to use JavaScript throughout the stack with a focus on the logic rather than the language. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
