How does this compare to, say, Wes Bos's course?
It's created with the Scrimba technology, so you can edit the code in the videos whenever you want.

#12Great platform, not the best React course.
Re: Learn React for free
#13Why would you even pay to learn React? The official doc is free and takes only few hours of reading.
I learned most of it myself but bought a Udemy course for Black Friday. I find the docs to be quite confusing to be honest. I know it's not React but Redux's docs aren't great either. Concepts quite hard to understand at first.
Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer.
FWIW, a lot of people tell us Redux's docs are "great", but we've also had people tell us they aren't helpful. Kinda hard to figure out how to make improvements based on that kind of conflicting feedback :)
We are actually looking at revamping the Redux docs in the near future [0]. If you've got any specific concerns or suggestions on how we can improve things, please let me know directly, or comment on that issue.
Also, besides the docs, you may be interested in my suggested resources for learning Redux [1], including my own Redux workshop slides [2].

#14This actually looks like a pretty good resource. The combination of a voiceover and an interactive editor looks pretty neat. Noting this for future reference. If anyone's interested in further resources, I'd suggest checking out my suggested resources for learning React [0], my React/Redux links list [1], and the Reactiflux chat channels on Discord [2].

It's pretty nice. You might like Imba too!

#15The title could really be a lot better :p It's not like all the other resources cost.

#16I use React daily so wasn't expecting to learn much, but the vids on forms were helpful! Handling form submission can actually get pretty annoying in React if you want to do anything remotely customized. Also love the idea of including "Project Ideas for Practicing" as its own module. Two thumbs way up.
I can highly recommend Gosha Arinich's articles on working with forms in React:

There seems to be a culture of collecting Udemy courses among fledgeling web developers.

Do people actually put that kind of stuff on resumes? I've done a good handful of MOOC courses (usually not all the way through to be fair), but I can't imagine actually paying for a certificate so I can put it on my resume. If I want to show that I know React I'd rather just build something with it, throw it on github, and list it as a side-project.

The Udemy course that I saw gives an anology to how Redux is meant to work in the form of an Insurance Company and how Action Creators, Actions, Reducers, Stores etc. map to a real world scenario. That really helped my understanding of the 'Redux' model.

Gotcha. Any aspects of the Redux docs that you felt didn't explain things well enough?
