This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Take your frontend skills to the next level with this advanced React course, designed to help you build and deploy a complete, production-ready application. You’ll deepen your understanding of profile management, user authentication, and dynamic content handling, all while mastering real-world deployment strategies using Heroku. By the end of this course, you’ll have a polished MERN stack project that’s fully live and ready for users. Your journey begins with advanced dashboard and profile management, where you'll build protected routes and Redux-based actions to manage user data securely. You'll implement rich forms for adding and editing user information like education, experience, and GitHub profiles, ensuring full CRUD functionality. These lessons also cover the complete lifecycle of user account management, including deletion. Next, you’ll enhance the social features of the app with a complete post and comment system. You’ll build components for displaying posts, handling likes, managing individual post views, and allowing users to comment and engage. Each feature is backed by Redux actions and reducers, providing a deep dive into state management patterns used in real-world applications. The course concludes with the final preparation and deployment phase. You’ll learn how to install and use the Heroku CLI, configure your MERN app for deployment, and publish it to a live environment. Along the way, you’ll resolve common frontend issues and polish the interface with minor enhancements and error handling. This course is ideal for frontend developers and full-stack learners who have prior experience with React and Redux and are ready to bring an app to production. This Advanced level course requires solid JavaScript skills and prior hands-on experience with the MERN stack.

In this module, we will focus on building and managing user dashboards and profiles. You will create protected routes, develop Redux functionality, and implement profile actions like editing and deleting. By the end of this section, you'll have a fully functional user dashboard with profile management capabilities.
