This is a relaunch of my existing course, The Road to Learn React. A lot has changed in React since I first created this course, and so here I am to give you all the information you need to work with modern React. (If you’re looking for content on legacy React, the old course is still available as well.)

In this course you will take a deep dive into React fundamentals, covering all new React concepts including Hooks. I do address some legacy features in case you’re working with an older codebase, but the majority of this course will focus on working with modern React. You will learn how to style your app, techniques for maintaining your app, and some more advanced concepts like performance optimization.

Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience by building a Hacker News app, and by the end of this course, you will be prepared to build your own applications and have something to showcase in your portfolio.

The Road to React: The One with Hooks

In a React function component, React's useRef Hook is used mostly for imperative programming. Throughout React's history, the *ref* and its usage had a few versions:

* String Refs (deprecated)
* Callback Refs
* createRef Refs (exclusive for Class Components)
* useRef Hook Refs (exclusive for Function Components)

Recently, the React team introduced **React's createRef** as the  latest equivalent to a function component's useRef hook:
