#42Stephen grider's udemy courses on react (all 3-4 of them are great). Totally recommended.
I'm working my way through these and love them. I'd bought books and followed tutorials so I'd completed 3-4 "hello world" apps. With Stephen's videos, I thought, "oh, great, another hello world" but the way he explains things, sudden I understand what it all actually meant instead of just bashing together code and hoping it worked.

#43The 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 g…
I strongly recommend "the Road to react" book to learn react.

#44I'm always surprised that reading source code is such a rare occurrence or suggestion in this world. If you consider yourself even in the vicinity of "advanced", I think you're capable of learning great stuff by looking at anything on github. Something big, but well organized. Lo-dash, Node, Mocha, etc. Of course you won't understand everything on first read. But you will learn really good things if you know how to l…
I question the utility of this. I don't break apart an engine to figure out how to use it, I read the manual about inputs and outputs.
Totally fine, so long as you know that makes you an "advanced user".
I can't imagine you'll find a sane place to work where senior people are only capable of learning something after consuming a tutorial or a manual. The nature of the work is to drill down one layer below what you're working on. Do you need to know how to smelt steel in order to be a good car mechanic? No, of course not, but it sure helps to have taken an engine apart. And if you're trying to build the next, better engine, it's really great to see the internals (and the commented motivations!) of previous implementations.

#45A number of people have mentioned Dan Abramov's Redux tutorials on Egghead, which I recently went through and got a lot out of. As a supplement/alternative I also found this series of LearnCode tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w-oQ-i1XB8&index=1&list=PLo...) to be really useful and informative. Where Abramov's series was great for seeing how to start with the most simple integration of Redux and building up to an advanced one, these start out advanced, allowing it to cover a few more topics (like middleware). Just figured I'd throw that in.
