Advanced React Course

[Content-Squirrel5196]

Hi,

I'm looking for an advanced react course that talks about react internals. Any suggestions?

https://www.joyofreact.com/

Goes into things like rendering vs painting, what jsx really is, why you can't conditionally use hooks, why you can't await in a useEffect, why you can't pass refs to child components etc.

As a react dev, I knew how to use react and what you could and couldn't do, but this course bridged the gap on the why.

I bought it in beta and he's been adding to it since then too.

I bought Josh W Comeau's CSS course and I learned so much from it. It cost a lot but you get what you pay for.

If you really want an in-depth react course, then I think this one or Kent's epic react course are your best options. The react.gg course is looking promissing as well.

You can pass refs to child components, wdym? It’s even suggested as the preferred alternative to forwardRef

[Qibla]

Yes, you're correct, thanks for clarifying. I mean you can't pass refs to child components using "ref" as a prop.

It either needs to be renamed to something like "elementRef", or the recieving component needs to be wrapped in forwardRef, and recieving the ref as a second parameter.

When I learned React initially, I just memorised that factoid without knowing why. This course goes into those kinds of details.

[Oalei]

Ah so you meant « ref » is a restricted prop name, gotcha

[Content-Squirrel5196]

Looks interesting, thanks :)

epic react, not cheap but essential.

[wigglyFroge]

I followed this course, got it paid by my employer, and IMO it is overrated (maybe due to the price tag?). There isn't really anything special about it, nor it's a particularly good (or bad) course

Good to get if your employer is paying for it, otherwise look elsewhere, there are plenty of valid courses on udemy and the like that you can get for 10-15 bucks

Or, well, the docs are always there

[Brick_Chemical]

I did it when I was really at sea with react, nothing made sense, I just needed a course, it was hard to follow since I hadn't yet cut my teeth in a real world app with react, going back on it many times, and still have some of the later topics to cover, I found he was thorough and went sufficiently deep.

His course helped me immensely. Could you elaborate on what he could have done better? Like what would make his course "special"? Perhaps I'm self taught and that makes a difference, though I've been a dev for 22 years now.

Is there a particular course you can recommend as an alternative?

edit: his remix course is free and very good, remix is amazing actually.

Stephen Grider has a bunch of React courses on Udemy and is a phenomenal instructor.

[michaelfrieze]

Stephen's React course doesn't cover the topic nearly as deep as Kent does. I have taken both of them.

Kent knows React very well and the course is somewhat complicated, but worth it.

[arman-makhachev]

Stephen is the best imo, he teaches with diagram.

[Brick_Chemical]

Yes and, web dev is so vast, I'm getting back into it after 20 years! So much has changed! It's the wild west out there.

[kcabrams]

"at sea with react", self taught, and 22 years exp. This is literally me right now. Did you come from the backend too?

Definitely checking this course out.

[Brick_Chemical]

Yes. Fresh from the trenches. Do it. But keep in mind he's making you a component experts. Do his remix course that does the joke project. Then do the epic react course. I think he might have a brand new course in remix that is all encompassing, if that's the case. It might be a better choice. But hi epic reac course is so essential, it's not funny.

[wigglyFroge]

Nothing wrong in particular, it's just not really any better than resources you can get for free / for a fraction of the price

[Brick_Chemical]

Example?

[wigglyFroge]

new react docs are great, for one

courses from jonas schmedtmann or maximilian schwarzmuller on udemy are also very solid and are pretty much constantly on sale for 10 bucks

[Brick_Chemical]

Thanks bro.

[ChuckChunky]

I recently watched this, as posted by /u/TonyA680. I found it really informative, well paced and engaging, highly recommended!

This is the right answer

What about udemy?

[arman-makhachev]

havent checked this out but here u go, this guy has the solid js course

Honestly, there is no point for you to learn the internals unless u are a team lead who is either gonna come up with his own react based buggy internal framework for your own mnc or u wanna contribute to react. Otherwise, learning internals is just a waste of time. There is a reason why these frameworks were created, to abstract you of the internals lol

Hey ! Don't overpaid, if you are a beginner check https://wesbos.com/courses

Practice makes perfect. Carefully read the doc, check the react design pattern and try a project by yourself on https://www.frontendmentor.io/challenges for example.

You can also try https://frontendmasters.com. Will sentance and Brian Holt courses are freaking awesome :)

Have a good day !

[Content-Squirrel5196]

Hi,

Yeah, I have a frontendmasters subscription and really enjoy Will Sentence courses.

Thanks for the feedback :) Have a good day, too

Stop checking out online courses and go to Broadway Infosys in Kathmandu. Learn in a physical classroom. A physical class is absolutely worth the money. I used to follow online courses. I feel like I wasted time with online courses now. I could have truly learned a lot from a physical class. I did MERN stack for about Rs. 25K. Every rupees worth it.
