I have a free advanced (and beginner) daily email course to help you learn React: https://nanohop.com/react-daily-emails/

The idea is to get a small dose of React every day.

I'm also always looking for what else to include in the course - so I'd love to hear what you find most difficult, or what you think is lacking from current learning resources.

The Road to learn React [0] is an open source book that gets continuously improved because it was self-published and the community contributes as well. You will build a React.js application along the way and transition smoothly from JavaScript ES5 to JavaScript ES6. It teaches the fundamentals of React without any tooling or Redux. Afterward, you are ready to go to build your own React applications. I would love to get your feedback on the book! :)

Otherwise, I can recommend to checkout this repository [1] by Mark Erikson to find out more about React and its ecosystem. I am sure you will find plenty of starter tutorials to get into learning React.

Gotcha covered.

I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React, Redux, and related topics, at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links . Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem, as well as a solid source of good info on more advanced topics. It includes links for learning core Javascript (ES5), modern Javascript (ES6+), React, Redux, and much more.

In addition, my "Practical Redux" tutorial series ( http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/practical-redux) shows how to use a variety of intermediate to advanced React and Redux techniques in the context of a sample app, and my "Idiomatic Redux" series (http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/idiomatic-redux ) discusses important aspects of good Redux usage, including why common patterns exist.

Finally, the Reactiflux chat channels on Discord are a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn. The invite link is at https://www.reactiflux.com .

I know these are great resources, but I don't think redux should be taught with react. Most of the React projects I've seen using Redux didn't need it - all they needed was for their developers to have a deeper understanding of how React handles state.

Learn React first. When you have complex data management problems, consider learning Redux, but master Reacts own state management first.

If you want to get good at JavaScript, do learn about closures and lexical scope. Example assignment: Make a function that loads a list of images and then show the average width of the images. Then make three versions of the function, one that loads the images in serial, one that loads the images in parallel and one that loads max three images at a time.
