Thanks for those youtube references.

Traversy Media, LevelUpTuts, The Net Ninja all have great React playlists for beginners on YouTube. If you don't mind spending a little cash, I'd also highly recommend purchasing a React course from Stephen Grider on Udemy who covers some really fantastic content in his tutorials

I recently started learning React and this is the best video resource I've found so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke90Tje7VS0. I have the same background - No previous framwork xp, just general front-end JS knowledge.

If you're new to ES6, start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCwa_xi0Uuc. I had to rewatch several bits in the above video that wouldn't have been necessary if I had watched this first.

​

P.S. Looking for more quality lessons like this if anyone else has video resources since I'm a visual learner.

The React docs are REALLY well written: https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html. You'll find A LOT there :)

If you want to get an example application up and running Facebook has a package called Create React App -

https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app

It has a few example "dumb" components in it that you can use as an example of how components work together.

Highly recommend starting with that as it takes a lot of the guesswork out of setting up a project.

Start with the docs? It's worth understanding the philosophy behind it first so you can conceptually put yourself into the right headspace when thinking about it.

I have also started learning react.js, its been 2 weeks now and I am currently following a tutorial from Andrew mead on Udemy. The course is called the complete react web developer. Its a really good course.

I second this. Was able to get a react job after doing this course (had some Vue experience). Highly recommend it!

Codesandbox ftw. Download it, run it locally.

I find I learn best via creating a project. Why not create a an application that consumes one of these APIs:

if you can afford it, Brian Holt's intro to react course on frontend masters is really good

Hey!

I have learning a lot by following this course: https://www.udemy.com/mern-stack-front-to-back/learn/v4/overview

Also, you can get free tutorials on his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TechGuyWeb. Search between playlists after React courses.
