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.
Overall, the course was really good than what I have expected. The interactive playgrounds made the course really fun. It was my first time learning react, and now I have a solid understanding of React.
