Learn the basics of React in 5 days

“I just can't get off the tutorials.”

React is Frustrating

Even after sifting through countless tutorials and videos, you still can’t cobble together your own app.

It’s maddening.

One second you’re nodding along, sure that you understand. The next, you’re staring at a blinking cursor wondering what to type.

Knowledge is Slippery

Not only is there a ton of stuff to learn – React, Redux, Router, HTTP APIs, Webpack – but retaining that knowledge is tricky. Tutorial knowledge is fleeting.

The best way to make it stick?

Practice building tiny little apps. Really, experiments would be a better word. Test and develop your new knowledge in small, isolated sandboxes.

But… where do you start? What, specifically, should you learn, and in what order?

Learn by Doing

My free email course will guide you through the first steps in learning React.

  • Interactive from the very first lesson
  • Entirely in your browser – no Node, no Webpack, nothing to install
  • Why you don’t need to learn Redux, Router, and the rest
  • How to translate your ideas into working React components
  • Exercises to reinforce your learning

I was confused with what I had learned thus far with React and the 5 day email course brought everything into focus.

The way you approach React is definitely the best I’ve seen so far!

Thank you for breaking down everything and explaining each and every doubt that comes to the mind!

The exercises were excellent and if anything I would appreciate more as that’s where I found myself understanding.
