Ask HN: What are the best free resources to learn React?

7 points by applecrazy ↗ HN
I want to learn React from the basics all the way up to the more advanced topics. What are some freely accessible resources to help me achieve this?

...and there's the rub, isn't it? "free" All kidding aside, if you can afford a few bucks, look at the Wes Bos series.

I didn't pay for his React series, but the free Redux series - while useful - I felt wouldn't have been worth paying for. Then again, I already knew React/Flux, so perhaps I wasn't really his target audience.

It's unnecessarily confusing and difficult to find a good collection of these resources because there are so many covering varying amounts of information, covering different versions, different libraries, etc.

I'll try to post what I can remember/find below:

I actually just purchased this course a couple of hours ago. While it's not free, I certainly think it's worth $20.

Edit: I also signed up for the free React.js Fundamentals class from http://courses.reactjsprogram.com/

I bought the same course (for $10 though) and it definitely worth it. The only problem is the course flow is a bit slow for an experienced developer who already knows ES6. I played the videos on 1.5x the speed and that worked for me.
