A lot of this course is watching the instructor do CSS, instead of React. His rationale being that "CSS is also important". While that is true, if I wanted to learn CSS, I'd be taking a CSS course, not a React course. The widgets don't fully work. You can enter code and execute it (that's the good part), but you cannot create new files or folders - which is required for some of the assignments. The instructor also insists that you use a Google font for the exercises, and an exercise is to figure out how to include that in the CSS. NOT how to include that font in React, but how to include it in CSS. (What's the point in making us use a proprietary font anyway?)

This course could be significantly improved by removing a lot of CSS stuff, and fixing the widgets.

thats so disapointing for not giving the certeficate at the end!

I am excited to finish this course but I am very sad because of have not the certificate

I like the course instructor and the hands-on approach of the course, but I dislike everything else. I don't like how the course is structured, there's way too much CSS, I don't need to be taught CSS, I'm taking a React course, CSS is a prerequisite, I obviously spent a lot of time on CSS in the past and for me to learn anything remotely new about CSS I would need to dig really deep into super advanced books on the topic. The entirety of week 1, including the project, is fully all about CSS, that's absurd. You could have easily removed the entire week 1 out of the course and make it one video explaining React file structure, and take that time to teach routing later in the course and couple more hooks. Another problem with the course is that there's too much handholding, but that's a reoccurring issue throughout most of the courses on Coursera. If you give a challenge, then let me complete the challenge, tell me what I have to do and I will do it, don't give step by step instructions and think for me, all there's left for me to do in that case is to write the code based on your instructions, that's not helping the student to improve. All in all, coming from Angular I was looking for a course to get me quickly up to speed with React at a fast pace, and this was definitely not it. It's very catered towards complete beginners freshly new to programming in general, along the lines of someone that spent few months on html/css/js and started learning React (way too early). At least I learned React foundations and I also liked the vibe of the instructor so I gave it 2 stars.

The CSS parts are vital for those who are following their Front End Path. If you are taking this as a standalone course, consider that this course is the culmination of that path and likely designed with that context. There were not enough CSS practice on the previous courses and I'm glad it's included here. Additionally, you might want to take a detour and take Javascript Deep Dive(from Scrimba) after Course 2 - Javascript. This course requires knowledge of array methods, arrow functions, and other concepts that were simply not discussed in any of the two Javascript courses included in their Front End Path(Course 2 Javascript, Course 4 Async Javascript ).

The course is designed perfectly, a lot of examples and challenges that helps to learn easily. If someone is new to react and want to understand it this course is highly recommended to start with.

Brilliant course, absolutely masterpiece! If you're new to React and know basic JS and and proficient in anyone language, THIS course is THE BEST Place to start your journey!

Very Interactive extremely helpful in making sure we use what we learn in real life scenarios and some pretty good coding practices are also touched upon.

Learning programming with React can be an exciting and rewarding experience. React is a popular front-end JavaScript library used by major companies, and mastering it can open up a wide range of career opportunities. One of the advantages of learning React is its extensive community support. There is a wealth of online resources, tutorials, and projects available to help you gain a deep understanding of the library. This makes it easier to find answers to any questions or problems you may encounter during your learning journey. Additionally, React's component-based architecture promotes reusability and modularity, allowing you to build complex user interfaces easily. This approach encourages clean and organized code, making your development process more efficient and maintainable. Another benefit of learning React is its strong ecosystem. React is often coupled with other tools and libraries such as Redux, React Router, and Next.js, which further enhance its capabilities. By exploring these additional tools, you can enhance your development skills and create more powerful and scalable applications. The hands-on approach of the learning program described above, with coding challenges and interactive projects, is an excellent way to solidify your understanding of React. By actively writing code and building real-world applications, you will gain practical experience and develop muscle memory that will stick with you. In conclusion, learning programming with React offers numerous benefits. It provides the opportunity to master a highly sought-after skill, access a supportive community, build reusable and scalable applications, and develop a solid foundation for a successful career in front-end development.

I don't think you can you find a beginner react course better than this. Bob Ziroll is one of the best teachers I've ever had the chance to learn from. His passion for teaching really shines through, making me eager to learn more. The projects I've built with him are some of the best I've ever done. This has been one of the best 'learning by doing' experiences I've had in a while. A big thank you to Scrimba, Coursera, and of course, Bob Ziroll.

Scrimba interactive lectures are great for saving time setting up your local compiler and rewinding videos to check if you overlooked something, instead I can pause the vid and scroll down or check other files on the scrimba compiler. It catches your attention and the course provides many projects to practice the react fundamentals so that you avoid tutorial hell. Pretty enjoyable learning experience .

I am almost new to react but after taking this course it clear my basic and help me to grow more. In this course every thing is explain very simply that so the student can understand the working of react. Many things that is ignore by other courses to tell are defined in this course very efficiently. At last but not least the instructor is very cheerful and motivate you on every Steps.

I don't really give reviews to courses but this one was so good, so special and the way of teaching was extraordinary. If you want to learn to react from scratch this course is the way to go. Ofc after this you have to make multiple projects to get your hands on react, but great greatttt stuff right here

en mi opinion se va a un buen ritmo, es genial que cada video no sea muy extenso asi se sabe que va a cubrir un tema muy especifico. Ademas esta super la manera practica en la cual todo se va explicando a detalle

I could review and classify my knowledge in React perfectly and add some interesting projects to my portfolio. It made my mind more clear for my next step. Thanks a lot, Scrimba, and thanks a lot Bob Ziroll.

Having done another react course, I found this course interesting and helpful to help me understand concepts. Thanks to Bob for really explaining in detail the different parts of the course

This course is really practical. If you only pay attention and try all the assignments, you are good to go

Learn the essential properties to make simple but very intuitive web applications with good practices.

Fascinating & clear explanations. I feel done with my next level of learning. Thanks, the entire team.

"This course has been a life-changing experience for me; one of the best I have ever learned from."
