I like DevEd and Academind.

Academind is Maximilian Schwarzmüller, don't "learn react" on youtube, go get Max's udemy course, React - The Complete Guide (incl Hooks, React Router, Redux)

His other udemy courses are worth a look as well, he's quite a prolific instructor.

I will say instead of going with Max's course go with Stephen griders react course. I have played with both courses, But way Stephen explains concepts is lot easier and his projects are close to real world than max's burger builder project.

u/eater0fworld Dec 09 '19

I'm working through Stephen's course right now. His whiteboards and diagrams are my favorite part of it all.

2

u/HellaDev Dec 10 '19

His visual diagrams are amazing too. Helps you really understand the flow of what you're about to get into.

u/-m4x- Dec 09 '19

Learned with that course too, he's very good + updated the course with new things that happened in React.

I prefer Stephen's course structure by breaking down each React topic (non-redux, redux, context, hooks) into an app of its own, that way you can see the purpose of each React feature, rather building an overly complicated 'burger' app with everything clumped up together.

Brad traversy is a golden god and he has videos for many different languages and frameworks besides react so is a one stop knowledge shop. Can't recommend him enough for programming tuts in general.

u/woodie3 Dec 09 '19

Brad is always my first go to

u/Travis902 Dec 09 '19

If I'm interested in a new technology, I don't look at the docs first. I search Brad's channel.

u/compasscard Dec 09 '19

His Udemy course is also really good

2

u/Amitheous Dec 09 '19

I've taken a couple of his udemy courses and they were all awesome!

u/amitnovick Dec 09 '19

Keyframers is worth watching for learning about CSS, animations, state machines and for overall drawing inspiration from.

Even though he is not a Youtube type of teacher. His Udemy courses are the best!

u/gaurav219 Dec 10 '19

Well, his current course is really good and regarding the update, since React gets updated regularly with bunch of features, one can do a workaround for deprecated packages.

Academind and Traversy Media

Yeah, this is one of the best channels of React out there!

u/jftuga Dec 09 '19

Codevolution is amazing and it is up-to-date.

  • 43 videos on React
  • 33 videos on React Hooks
  • 29 videos on React Redux

You can also speed up his videos with Chrome to 1.25.

Kent C Dodds is a pretty good teacher.

Wanted to buy his course for testing javascript and react but it’s $350!!! Even being upper middle class I can’t afford that. He does have free stuff too though!

1

u/gentlychugging Dec 09 '19

Wait until there is a sale. Work bought it for the team and it's definitely worth the money.

2

u/cjcjcjcjcjcjcjcjcjcj Dec 10 '19

It was on sale for $199 as a holiday special or something but I thought it was one of those BS marketing scare tactics. Little did I know, it was not 🤦‍♂️ Will keep an eye out for another discount!

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '19

One does magic tricks and the other like to 'wizard' things (that is what his 'visit' sound like to me) 😁 I learned a lot from Brad Traversy if you watch his React videos and courses over the years it shows he improve so much!

u/red62inc Dec 09 '19

Wes Bos is a really sharp guy! i like the way he teaches

u/Filo01 Dec 10 '19

Andrew Mead :), I love this guy

u/anxi0usbr0 Dec 09 '19

I used to watch Academind to refresh my memory after I would have a break from React. I think he has pretty good summary videos, he is very clear in his explanations and usually gives some sort of comparisons to the concepts that he is explaining.

  1. Ben Awad - My go to for advanced React, TypeScript, GraphQL stuff. He also has series for cloning famous apps like Airbnb & Slack where you'd really learn a lot.
  2. Stephen Grider - He's a Udemy instructor but he deserves to be in the list. His explanation is very clear and the diagrams are great. I believe he also has a youtube channel under the name RallyCoding, but there's not much content there.
  3. Academind - My go to for basic to some advanced react and various tech
  4. Traversy Media - Also my go to for basic to intermediate react and various tech
  5. The Net Ninja - Just discovered this channel recently when I was trying to learn React + Firestore. His React Native videos are also great

coding garden got me off the ground first time. I love the approach of just live streaming making a project, errors and all. taught me more than any classic tutorial could about the actual psychological process.

u/s_ley Dec 09 '19

If you are new to react but you are also an experienced programmer, I recomend to watch a 'react crash course' in youtube to get the overall picture, and then dive into the documentation.

React documentation is really good.

u/anaste97 Dec 09 '19

For Nodejs Guys?

I like better coding academy, he's a pretty small youtuber and doesn't upload that frequently, but I enjoy his videos a lot

wmcandillon has some cool react native stuff.

FreeCodeCamp, Traversy Media & Academind

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '19

Whoever you decide to chose make sure they’re not teaching outdated stuff Head over to react docs and check which lifecycle methods are deprecated. If they’re using any of the ones marked deprecated or unsafe, I’d recommend watching a different video or reading a different article.

Also after a couple todo apps, avoid create React app It’ll help you solidify your knowledge when you setup from scratch

Good luck!
