The Road to learn React book teaches you the fundamentals of React. You will build a real world application along the way in plain React without complicated tooling. Everything from project setup to deployment on a server will be explained for you. The course comes with additional referenced reading material and exercises with each lesson. After taking the course, you will be able to build your own applications in React.

In the Road to learn React, I want to offer a foundation before you start to dive into the broader React ecosystem. It has less tooling and less external state management, but a lot of information about React. It explains general concepts, patterns and best practices in a real world React application.

You will learn to build your own React application. It covers real world features like pagination, client-side caching and interactions such as searching and sorting. Additionally, you will transition from JavaScript ES5 to JavaScript ES6 along the way. I hope this course captures my enthusiasm for React and JavaScript and helps you to get started with it.
