    John Smilga’s react’s course on Udemy is amazing. I also always like Traversy Media vids for quick explanations.

  2. Strongly recommendsturbohedgehogr/learnprogramming2021in “Are Udemy courses really worth it?”▲ 1

    You can learn JavaScript for free, but to be a front end dev, you would need to know a framework, for that Udemy courses are really good, and they sometimes go on sale for 10$ and cover around 30 hours. I really liked Mosh’s React course, but Stephen Grider and Schwarzmuller are also good teachers.

  3. Strongly recommends_raygr/webdev2020in “At what point should I focus on JS before picking up React?”▲ 1

    That’s awesome. I highly suggest Brad Traversy’s Udemy React course. And honestly his JavaScript course is great too. Really good teacher, nice pace in his courses, and thorough explanation of code. The best I’ve seen.

  4. RecommendsTall_Assist351r/learnprogramming2023in “Career change to programming after 30s”

    The topics look good. I obviously can't go through the material and give you a very reliable opinion but it doesn't really matter where you get the info. There are plenty of good resources out there. But best thing to do is to stop worrying so much about what "guide", "book", or "course" is the…

  5. Recommendsrvejmsr/webdev2022in “I cannot focus on studying anymore”

    React is just a way to reuse chunks of code in your site / web app and to simplify all of that tedious vanilla JS query selector syntax. I mean it’s probably a lot more than that, but that’s how I think of it. Do a supplemental udemy course for 15$

  6. RecommendsBridge4_Kalr/learnprogramming2022in “Does anyone have a knowledge regarding this?”

    If something claims to be free but is asking for money... it's a scam. Just general advice to live by. In an effort to not just be 100% Debbie Downer, let me recommend Acadmind's React Course. He has a great Udemy course, which frequently goes on sale for around $20, but he also has like a 3-hour…

  7. RecommendsBitSec_r/webdev2022in “What kind of programming tutorials do you enjoy doing?”▲ 3

    It depends what kind of information I'm after. I think if the tutorial is set up correctly it can be really good no matter what platform its on. When I started learning React for example I enjoyed an Udemy course. After I sort of knew my way around React when I needed a bit more information about…

  8. Recommendseffie_4r/learnprogramming2022in “Struggling to manage my time with code and school. End up not doing anything.”

    I am enrolled into the full stuck dev as well. I am at 45% and I struggle with React. At first I didn’t understand anything. There is a big portfolio project that I couldn’t build. Only with the solution video. So… I start procrastinating, Netflix, ps5 etc. for 2-3 weeks. I was afraid to resume…

  9. Recommendsujay-007r/webdev2022in “I finally landed a job!!! (Self-learned developer)”▲ 5

    I started with [freecodecamp.org](freecodecamp.org) which I will highly recommend. Then I watched a few youtube videos on dom manipulation. The videos were by John Smilga who also had udemy courses. I liked his teaching style so first bought his JavaScript course and then his react course. He had…

  10. Recommendsmakonder/learnprogramming2021in “Learning React has really knocked my confidence. Is this normal?”▲ 1

    Find the Programming with Mosh or Academind React tutorials on YouTube also highly recommend the Academind course on Udemy, I'm sure Mosh course is also great but not on Udemy.

  11. Recommendsfungigamerr/webdev2021in “Should I swap lessons ?”▲ 1

    Her course is outdated. Jquery is not used anymore, and you should do react before backend unless you want to be a backend developer. Bootstrap is also not a favoured way to style your website now. I recommend learning the basics of html, css and Javascript on youtube, and just learn react through…

  12. Recommends_damnfinecoffee_r/learnprogramming2021in “Use books instead of brief tutorials to learn programming”▲ 3

    You ignore the fundamentals and take this $9 udemy react class!

  13. RecommendsTradlyGentr/learnprogramming2020in “What Course/Bootcamp can I take that would make me hirable in 1 year?”▲ 2

    Best thing to do in my opinion is finish this Udemy React course and continue to skim the learning modules of TOP and with that knowledge see if you can finish the capstone project on the Javascript selected path. Then move on to their node.js course to learn node and mongo and work up to doing…

  14. Recommendscanadian_webdevr/webdev2020in “Resources to become a stronger front end dev?”▲ 1

    Haha cool. Anyway for an actual suggestion, Traversy Media has a good React course on Udemy. I'd suggest that. Does your boss expect you to attend / do all those things outside of work? Because they should absolutely be done during work hours.

  15. RecommendsMemeTeamMariner/learnprogramming2020in “Where would I start with this specific app?”▲ 1

    For most stock information I have to imagine there's a public API you can work off of. So the ELI5 version. The way apps work. There's a front-end, which is the user-facing app, or what we call the client. The client talks to a server using HTTP. GET, PUT, POST etc . The server retrieves…

  16. RecommendsAscentialr/learnprogramming2020in “Recently started to learn code. Want to build a website. Have a few questions.”▲ 5

    If you want to learn web development, I would highly recommend freecodecamp.org and follow along with their curriculum for the html/css/js portion then take a udemy course for react. 1.) vs code is what most web developers use. You can use the extension "Live Server" to see your changes in real…

    I'm pretty new at this - been self-teaching/Udemy courses/etc. since August. I haven't applied for a job yet; I don't think I'm ready yet and I'm building up a portfolio of projects. But I definitely recommend finding a good spot to ditch the tutorials and start making things. I did Colt's basic…

  18. Recommendsdreamer3691r/learnprogramming2015in “What would you suggest to learn in 2016?”

    If you want to make web apps using React, then just make some web apps using React. Find some project tuts on YT or buy the React course on Udemy by Mark Price. I'd suggest also understanding and implementing a workflow using Grunt, whatever, etc, if you plan on working with other…

  19. MentionsHigginsMusic74r/learnprogramming2021in “Self-taught student and I'm somewhat regretting how I approached self-study”▲ 1

    OP's comment caught me because the React course I'm taking from Udemy has similar instructions, as well. Many training programs are based on 'Say, Show, Do, Review', which is how I approached my quarantine coding binge last year. I was laid off for a little over three months when Covid first hit…
