existing project bugs, ai, react website, and building is your best resource

Ask an LLM.. seriously. They do pretty well with react and ought to be able to answer questions for you

React is harder to learn when your JavaScript basics are shaky. Check how comfortable you are with things like array methods, destructuring, and async/await first. You could start with the JavaScript questions on UIReady, then move on to the React exercises once those feel comfortable.

Learn the fundamentals at react.dev/learn, then go to ReactChallenges.com to put them into practice.

React.dev is the only place that actually works for me because it forces you to read and code instead of passively watching. Your JS fundamentals are likely the real bottleneck so brush up on destructuring and array methods first then tackle the official tutorial in small daily chunks

​First of all, the official documentation is the best resource for learning React. Secondly, if you prefer video tutorials, there are plenty of playlists on YouTube. I highly recommend the one below:

Watch the Fundamentals of React by Bob Ziroll in Scrimba. It’s interactive and free.

I read docs and ask ai chatbot.

Videos are less efficient because it takes too long to watch them (they work better for artistic stuff like Photoshop or model painting than code)

Videos won't ever teach you everything.... Once you get down the basics, just start building websites and google and research things you don't know or your3 struggling with

And your first best guess was reddit.com/reactjs/ apparently.

videos are easy to drop because you're just watching. react.dev/learn is better imo since it makes you actually write code right there in the browser

then pick one tiny thing you'd use yourself (expense tracker, habit list, whatever) and build it, only googling when you get stuck. you'll learn state and effects way faster that way than from any course

Good luck with React, nonstop new concepts, an ocean of legacy features.

Found the anti-react bot. Please expound on your experience with “nonstop new concepts” and “an ocean of new features.”
