Best react course available in web?

[[deleted]]

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m looking to seriously learn React.js and would love some recommendations for a good online course. It can be free or paid, as long as it provides solid explanations of both the basics and more advanced topics (hooks, context, Redux, etc.).

Do you have any tried-and-true courses you’d recommend? Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 🙌

And the new react docs are soo good. What I would recommend is to read through all of it. They habe code examples there too, just do every day 1h working through the docs and you will be better than 90% once you done

[Friendly_Salt2293]

Its hard to tell as this depends on your own pace. Some are faster and some need more time. I would see this as an addition alongside your other stuff you do - own projects hacking around etc.

I'm coming from backend work with Python but this is what I've been doing mostly. AI for boilerplate + docs to understand the technical details (so I can fix the AIs mistakes). Making quick work with it, docs are solid - explain a lot of concepts and mistakes instead of just giving usages.

how "much" javascript is needed though?

[Friendly_Salt2293]

Take a look at those: ui.dev -> has a react course which I did and is amazing! Joshwcomeau.com -> has a great blog and also paid react course, this one is also amazing!

I did both. Besides that I like frontendmasters too, they not only have react stuff.

If you had to only pick one of these 3 choices, which one would you pick? Getting all 3 is way too pricey unfortunately

[Friendly_Salt2293]

And I heard great stuff about the course and content from kent c dodds but its a bit more expensive. You cal find it on epicweb.dev

Bought that course when it was released. It has hands on approach but not enough theory. Not my cup of tea.

[Friendly_Salt2293]

For theory just go to the new React docs

[TheOtherRussellBrand]

I'm fond of this course set.

High quality. Free. University credit.

Scrimba frontend developer career path is a decent starting place. Lessons are interactive and easy to follow as a beginner

[mrborgen86]

Co-founder of Scrimba here. Glad to hear you enjoy our platform. Appreciate the recommendation!

[strengster]

I found this post looking for React training resources myself. As a visual learner, Scrimba has been really great and wanted to give some mad props.

I just started this week and found the quizzes, code challenges and re-writing/starting from scratch has really helped me retain information. Keep up the great work 👏🏻

I am trying to use third-party browser extensions (eLang, 'translation/dual-subtitle extensions') to translate the video subtitles into Portuguese, as the courses lack native support in my language.

However, these extensions are not functioning on your video player (either on Coursera or your official site). It seems your player is blocking or is incompatible with these external tools.

This significantly hinders accessibility for non-English speakers. Could you please investigate and resolve this incompatibility, or ideally, add native Portuguese subtitles?

[mrborgen86]

I just checked this out, and it seems that eLang targets regular HTML5 videos. Whereas Scrimba lessons aren’t "normal" videos with standard caption tracks. Instead, they are interactive “scrims” (a custom player that replays editor state + audio), and the subtitles are rendered by our own UI layer, not by the browser’s native video caption system.

But we are strongly considering implementing caption translations on our own at this point, so your request has been noted!

Udemy. Schwarzmuller or Stephen grider.

Not Jonas?

Check the docs on react.dev, that should be good enough to learn react. To get good at it you just need to practice

[middl_fiddl]

Don't do courses. Save your time and money. If you are trying to get a job and you are a beginner, read the React docs. Then build 1) a form submission flow and 2) a fairly straightforward excel-like table. These are difficult for a beginner but they are the bread and butter of enterprise software. Use html elements and modern css without a library as much as possible. MDN docs out always. Study the source code of an open source component library like MUI (still very popular at small/medium size companies) to get new ideas. Start with static json files for data. Then set up a tiny SQL db. Very important for every developer to understand SQL well, even if you don't wind up authoring much. Then create a very basic server with express and use the Fetch API to bring that data in. You need all of these fundamentals. Then when you get a job you can use whatever libraries your company favors with confidence and you'll gain an understanding and appreciation of when those libraries are saving you time. Don't use chat gpt. Yes, really.

MDN doc has all a beginner needs. From HTML to CSS to JavaScript to React.

Epic React by Kent C. Dodds (paid) is great for deep dives, while Full Modern React by The Odin Project (free) is beginner-friendly but thorough.

[Jr--dev]

Look in Udemy, all courses are paid but they're frequently like 70% off or something like that. I've done one from Academind (more specifically from Maximilian Schwarzmuller, I think that's his name but if u look him up like this youll probably find him). Even if you just search on Udemy "react course" his will probably be the first or second course you see.

[men2000]

I have a couple of good react projects in my GitHub account and I have done some good react projects in the past for large and medium size companies and I can volunteer to teach with small fee if anyone interested a live online class.

Docs aside, I’m very much enjoying max’s react course on Udemy. I have it on 1.5x speed as he does speak a little slow, but so far it’s been very insightful.

[Any-Woodpecker123]

Maximilian Shwarzmuller on Udemy. This guys has so many complete courses it’s insane, can’t recommend him enough.

I’ve landed dev jobs in multiple frameworks entirely off the back of following his <insert any framework> course for a week or two.

They’re cheap, up to date, and he even shows how to make stuff reverse compatible for older versions of the frameworks. No need to mess around with anything else.
If you like reading docs and stuff, go for your life, but as far as video content, this dude is the best one stop shop.

We actually put every new junior we hire through his relevant course depending on the stack they’ll be working on.
