Bob Ziroll is back with a one-hour whistle-stop tour of class components in React.

You might find yourself dealing with legacy code, or a colleague who prefers them. The difference between functional and class components might come up in an interview. In this free, one-hour course, Scrimba Head of Education takes you through the essential basics of class components with a collection of interactive challenges designed to get you coding as much as possible. This approach leaves you with rock-solid knowledge which really sticks. In the course, we'll look at what class components are, state in classes components, the constructor method, updating complex state, lifecycle methods, and more!
