I learned so much from this course! The lesson flashcards and the quizzes at the end of every lesson are two of my favorite features. They help me assess my understanding of every lesson, and I also get to note very important points from these lessons! I also like the instructor's sense of humor!

I'm learning a lot and I'm appreciating the pacing and quality of the explanations. The instructor is doing a great job!

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.
