  • This is certainly one of the best React courses out here, I tried learning t react some time ago, but I got confused and took a step back, I recently decided to give it another chance, so I looked up a crash course on YouTube, the terms were confusing, I then made a random google search for React Courses, I'm happy I found this because everything seems so easy to understand here!

  • Very good course for beginners with no knowledge of REACT. They will start with scratch then slowly they will teach you everything and make you confident in REACT.
