React 17: Getting Started
Beginner 4 hours English
Our recommendation
A Pluralsight course teaching the most popular front-end library by building real things. Across about four hours you learn React's core concepts — components, props and state, and Hooks. The fundamentals still apply, but note the course targets React 17; React has since moved on, so a few APIs and defaults will differ from the current version.
