Great course! As someone coming in with no React experience, it was a good, gentle yet technical enough kind of introduction that suited me well who has ample experience in software in general. Good stuff overall!! :)
Awesome course! Really enjoy this feeling when backend technologies start making sense to me.
I have worked with React for the past decade pretty much, decided to take this course just to see if I needed a refresher on anything and ended up learning a few things. For instance, I've been pretty much exclusively using SWR for api stuff, and learning tanstack query was a nice change of pace.

This course helped me understand the concept of MCP and how to apply it in my job. I also had a lot of fun watching it! This is the first course I’ve ever completed on Frontend Masters, and it's been a great experience. Thanks to this course and Brian’s advice, I was able to set up my own MCP developer workflow to work with Confluence documentation and JIRA for spikes (research tickets), as well as automate the creation of support tickets. I'm excited to keep learning more and to introduce additional AI workflows into my own routines and my team's processes.

I am already working with React and was taking this course to refresh my knowledge. But it actually added a lot and showed me how things work under the hood!

I'm doing the professional track, and I've watched v8 and now v9. I like the slight restructure and the addition of testing in the intro version. I think there's something here for beginners and intermediate React users.
