Getting Started: React

What’s This?

I help you learn Facebook’s React, the most popular framework for building web applications.

Learning React & JavaScript

The React website is a good starting point. React uses JavaScript to create web applications.

Learning JavaScript

• The MDN Web Docs (the site formerly known as “Mozilla Developer Network”) has various tutorials based on your skill level.
• academind has a JavaScript course with 40 hours of video. The same course is on Udemy, where it may be cheaper in a sale.

Learning TypeScript

TypeScript mixes “some Java into JavaScript”, such as types. Hence the name! You have to use TypeScript if you use Angular. And you can use it with React.

You can take a peek in the “TypeScript for Java/C# Programmers” article. If you like it, then the TypeScript handbook is your friend, also in Epub and PDF.

Learning React

• The React site has a tutorial for beginners where you build an app.
• The React site also gives us a tutorial for the React concepts.
• academind has a React course with 40 hours of video, which includes React Hooks and Redux. I’m taking this course right now (March 2021). The same course is on Udemy, where it may be cheaper in a sale.
