Ask HN: Best way to learn React for someone who's used to Rails?

1 points by idk1 ↗ HN
Hi,

I want to learn React, however Googling 'learn react' gives me a billion results and I don't want to start on a subscribe to a tutorial site or buy a book if there's a better one out there.

I'm great with javascript, so do not need to pick that up, and have hacked around and forked a few React projects but never really known quite what's going on or where to start with them.

I was wondering what is the best way to learn it. I am best I think learning from videos, however books are also great too. I'm not so good with scrolling through tutorial websites.

Thanks very much!

Hi, I'm the primary maintainer for Redux, and I've spent much of the last several years helping answer questions about React and Redux.

We've got a curated list of learning resources for JS, React, Redux, and TS over on the Reactiflux Discord website:

Admittedly these aren't videos or books - they're generally some of the best articles we've seen. Hopefully this should still be useful!
