Here is an interactive map for learning Javascript :

https://learn-anything.xyz/programming/programming-languages...

And here is one for learning React :

Both maps are community curated so if anyone thinks there is a more efficient path for learning them, you can submit pull requests. :)

Kyle Simpson and the "You Don't Know JS" series. Can't speak highly enough about them.

Also he has a good recent book on Functional Programming, which if you plan on tackling Redux later will be helpful.

I got the physical editions because that's how I prefer books (easier to note / annotate), but all the books mentioned here are available free online / on Simpson's Github.

Already read them...very useful but I was wondering if there was something similar for react.

Stephen grider's udemy courses on react (all 3-4 of them are great). Totally recommended.

We're building an interactive coding screencast tool (called Scrimba) to help people with teaching and learning stuff like JS and React.

A dedicated section for React can be found here: https://scrimba.com/topic-react

And here is a playlist which takes you through building your first React app: https://scrimba.com/playlist/playlist-1

It's based upon an article I wrote here: https://scrimba.com/playlist/playlist-1

It's all free. Hope it helps!
