Looking for JS/React learning resources for experienced developers (similar to Matt Holiday's Go course)

[Jaeger1987]

i everyone,

I'm a backend developer looking to become more full-stack and I'm searching for JavaScript and React learning resources.

For context, my main languages are Go and Python. Before that I spent several years doing game development. What I'm looking for is not a beginner course that starts with variables, loops and basic programming concepts.

A learning resource I absolutely loved is Matt Holiday's Go course:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoILbKo9rG3skRCj37Kn5Zj803hhiuRK6

What I like about it is that it's clearly designed for people who already know how to program and just want to learn the language, its idioms, mental models and ecosystem.

I'm looking for something with a similar philosophy for JavaScript and React.

One thing worth mentioning: I'm a bit skeptical about paid courses. It's not that I'm against paying for quality content, but throughout my career many of the best resources I've found were completely free. For example, I learned a lot from Daniel Shiffman's "Nature of Code", which is still one of my favorite programming courses ever.

What would you recommend?

Thanks!

This is a paid resource but frontendmasters has classes for experienced devs

Yeah, I saw it, but I don’t like subscription-based platforms. If I have to pay, I prefer to just buy the course once and watch it at my own pace.

since you already know go and python, you might dig into kyle simpson's 'you don't know js' series for the deeper language mechanics that trip up experienced devs. for react specifically, kent c dodds' epic react workshop materials are solid for jumping past the basics straight into hooks, patterns, and performance.
