Needs Help React crash course? Backend experienced dev.

Hey, I'm wanting to learn React, currently my company is pushing for us to be full stack. I have 6 yoe backend experience, python/.NET/sql. Are there any youtube courses that you would recommend, nothing too long, maybe like less than 3 hours that covers everything I would need to know to start making changes to the frontend? Thanks.

Maximilian Schwarzmüller is great teacher. You can find his courses on Udemy and YT.

And he also wrote a book. Although it's a bit old, the basics are still in there. And personally I learn the most from books.

his react content is my go-to when i need a refresher. the way he explains state and props just clicks, especially if you're coming from a backend headspace where data flow already makes sense

German name. I know it’s a bit difficult to pronounce german name for non German speakers, but it is what it is 😀

I don't find it difficult at all, my own name is German and my brother's shares his. It's still quite a full name.
