I really appreciated the description of the concepts. The delivery was impeccable! I would only request more coding assignments with higher complexity, but that just might be for the next section :D

This is the best course to start learning React. The manner in which concepts and hands-on practicals are introduced is truly phenomenal. Supplied alongside are video tutorials that last only 4-5 minutes at max which is really good for anyone who's attention span can get in the way of their learning. And there are reading resources which are so good!

the use of hooks could have more explanations, but for a beginner course it does has a lot of topics to cover, If you jump into it be aware you need to have a javascript foundation, code is one thing, but understanding what is under the hood is the key to mastering React. side note it would be nice to see all of you all guys !!

Video content is brief and covers the main subject while allowing the students to expand their knowledge by reading longer explanations afterwards. Helped me to get started with React in my workplace. I would like to see a version with Typescript as it seems like that's the current trend in the industry and best practice overall.

This course was very useful for me because I had minimal knowledge of React and no practice. Some things became clearer to me, although many things still need to be clarified. This course gave me good practice, the quality of the materials and explanations are top notch as always. Thank you, Meta and Coursera!

Issues at times with the online Lab environment and the Guided 1st React App with Instructor walk through help but overall very informative, good practice and get to see responses by your peers. It would be fun to make it easier to contact the fellow students/peers in the course! Overall great course!

The course was very interesting and it's recommended for who doesn't have any knowledge of React, since it starts from the basics. The videos are very clear and every concept is explained very well, with examples, coding tests and quizzes. I would definitely recommend it to start learning React!

It is really good for beginners, it contains React basics topics like props, data flow, hooks, routes and more. After this course you will be able to make React web applications, but you will need to learn more about some components that will be helpful to speed up productivity like react-icons.

This react course was one of the finest courses I have ever done. Simple explanation and pictorial representation based made this course outstanding. Learned a lot, and now I'm having confidence in building things on my own. Thank you, Meta and Coursera for such a great course.

I liked the course: good combination of video and reading sections. The Web lab is a great experience: allows you to focus on coding without the need configure dev environment locally. Also, it was very helpful for me that some specific features of JavaScript are covered.

It is a very good introductory course. To understand the concepts better you should read the recommended readings. Some of the concepts are better understood when finishing the advanced react course after this one.

An excellent course that teaches you the ground work for React.js and how to properly implement it. I've tried other courses that were too fast or didn't have enough details. This one does the job perfectly!

Easy to follow in the videos and reads. Heavy to complete all the 'Additional readings' in short time, but definitely worth taking a look and having an extended knowledge and understanding.
