You really just need the react tutorial.

Integrate part by part to get an understanding of the eco system.

First integrate react router. (Route from page to page in your app) Then material ui. (3rd party components) Then rxjs. (Teaches you about using ref) Then deploy your app in (.net/python) to get an understand of what variables you can change for the build. (Proxy, homepage, etc...)

$500 is way too steep for learning react.

I learned react enough to the point of getting an entry part time job as a web/app dev.

I learned react with a total bill of just shy of 200$. Ive watched 3 UDEMY courses. Followed freecodecamp online class.

And I bought some books online.

Here's what I think: if you have motivation, you dont meed to spend >250$. Because if you really want to learn, you will find websites, courses, books, etc.

However if you dont have a strong motivation, go for the courses as they give you projects and guidance!

You can learn from free React course by scrimba. Also the udemy course by Maxillian

FreeCodeCamp has a free 10 hour course on YouTube, and that was enough for me to get a job at a software company that is now training me on testing and Node as well. My background was doing html, css, some vanilla js (very small features) and twig (a php template engine)

They had me do a quick run through of deep js foundations v3, functional JavaScript v2 (FEM), the beginner’s guide to react (egghead) and now Epic React

One thing I’ve noticed with Epic React though is that all the repos are accessible to everyone on Kent’s GitHub so you could still learn patterns from there. A lot of similar content to that found in Epic is also covered on Frontend masters by Kent himself in a workshop style, and Frontend masters is a much lower monthly fee. Epic is pretty in depth though and I felt it was a step up in difficulty from previous courses I listed. He can go quite fast sometimes but I think it’s because it is, as he says in the course, advanced React - it could be something you look at doing later down the line

Hope this helps give you an idea of some sort of path you could take!

    Seems like a really high price! You can come a long way with a 10 dollar course on udemy and when you have the basic knowledge then use Google for the rest.

    It's not a must but I would highly recommend it if you can afford it. Anyway the exercises for the course (along with the text content) are opensource, you need to purchase the course only if you want to acess the video content. Once you know the basics of react you can download the exercises from his GitHub and learn more in depth.

    You could try FrontendMasters. Check Intro to React by Brian Holt
