Struggling to Learn React? Here's a Simple 3-Step Process to Master It

Struggling to learn React?

Feeling stuck while others seem to breeze through?

If so, you're not alone.

But there's good news—there's a way forward.

Follow these three simple steps to master React:

Step 1: Understand Javascript first: You can't conquer React without understanding some Javascript concepts first (promises, rest/spread, ...). I personally learned through the You-Dont-Know-JS series and FrontendMasters.

Step 2: Just learn client-side React: Many online tutorials are overloaded with complexities like Redux, bundlers, and even Typescript. Focus on learning React itself using resources like Pure React, The Joy of React, and Complete Intro To React.

Step 3: Practice with projects: Solidify your understanding through hands-on projects. Find them on platforms like FrontendMentor or iCodeThis.

These 3 steps will exponentially accelerate your learning process.

Want more of these? Find me on X/Twitter or on Substack.
