About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

This is a relaunch of my existing course, The Road to Learn React. A lot has changed in React since I first created this course, and so here I am to give you all the information you need to work with modern React. (If you’re looking for content on legacy React, the old course is still available as well.) In this course you will take a deep dive into React fundamentals, covering all new React concepts including Hooks. I do address some legacy features in case you’re working with an older codebase, but the majority of this course will focus on working with modern React. You will learn how to style your app, techniques for maintaining your app, and some more advanced concepts like performance optimization. Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience by building a Hacker News app, and by the end of this course, you will be prepared to build your own applications and have something to showcase in your portfolio.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
