13:50, I agree, but most people who start their React journey are most likely beginners that cannot get a job yet. I will highly recommend starting cloning some big projects like Twitter, Instagram, etc. Create as many features as you possibly can. This way, you will face the same problems they faced, and you will have to find a workaround for them.
Good project ideas! I did a pinterest clone while learning and it taught me a lot. I agree that getting a job might not be possible for a lot of people, but I do think that even if someone is not 100% confident in react, I feel like they should search for a job. Jobs teach you a lot, specially entry level ones
@@PedroTechnologies Getting jobs are not hard, the trick is getting the money you want for the job, if you are having trouble finding a job look for a project and do it for free if you have to.

@@quorunq1189 Thank You, I am assuming a typo and you meant "Living" not leaving. Best to you either way, follow your dreams and they can become reality.
Thanks for this informative video. Just to share my experience, I've been given an old react project to make it as much better as I can; the project was written about 4 years ago, all with class components, redux and old version of NEXT JS! Since I hadn't learnt any of those when I started learning react, I'm struggling with them all at once. That's TOUGH!
It is a tough situation! I would recommend every company start transitioning into functional components or else they will be left behind. However in some situations like yours there is nothing you can do. In this case I would recommend watching old react tutorials
What _really_ sucks about React and learning Web development in general is how easily you can find yourself "misguided" in your journey Consider learning React and learning all these libraries like React Router and then learning component libraries and whatnot, and compare that to learning something like SwiftUI (or Jetpack Compose, or probably even Dart)... in the case of SwiftUI, granted, Apple has its own design principles which it encourages and probably in fact enforces with SwiftUI, but SwiftUI has the path paved for you in how things are done and how they're laid out, and you have "batteries included" for probably most of your needs. With the Web and React, there are so many options it's overwhelming, so you might end up like myself in a state of analysis paralysis or paralysis by too many choices; you might also find yourself rolling shit you might not need because there was a library for that, but you didn't know where to look; or there's a good library, but it's not maintained anymore and you waste time searching for an alternative or wondering if you should learn that at all. Anyway, Web development can be pretty complicated. But I guess at least you're not at the mercy of one company dictating what the technology you use should be like _and_ taking a sizable cut off your revenue.
Nice tips. I quite agree with all your point. However, I still feel one needs to learn class components even though they might not be applied that much. Knowing class components will make you understand react lifecycle better. More so, in some instances when you are working with legacy codes, you might likely come across them. The same thing also applies if you are working with themes. Some are written with class components. Above all, I feel questions related to class components come out a lot in job interviews.
I understand what you mean, however I still think it is doable to learn the react lifecycle without class components. I actually think class components are most useful nowadays when you are trying to transition an old component from class to functional (something I had to do in my job).
I can understand this. Both of you is right. In my opinion, the best time to learn class components is after one learned functional components and hooks.
Speaking as someone who’s been a system developer consultant for 11 years, I feel like these tips would work extra well if you expect to be the only frontend developer at your workplace or in your work project, doing greenfield stuff (new applications rather than legacy), whereas if you’re working with a team of frontend or fullstack developers it suddenly becomes much more important to decide what to learn depending on what is already being used, e.g. redux or whatever. You typically don’t get to choose what style and libraries to use, instead you are generally expected to handle whatever is thrown at you and to follow existing code standards. Of course you can recommend new stuff and have a say in certain things, just be prepared to work with legacy things like class based components or more complex libraries like redux even if that wouldn’t otherwise be your first choice.
Yo this is a great video i just finished a boot camp that gave me a really solid foundation for creating web apps we covered react and talked about everything you went over and alright we didn’t spend that much time in the boot camp on react, ive wanted to self study to prepare for jobs and your video sounds like a great road map to follow
Thanks a bunch for an invaluable piece of advice. I wish I had watched your video prior to starting learning React, given that I had trouble getting my head around React too. I came to the realization that it's just a matter of time. If you keep practicing, making projects utilizing React consistently, you'll get the hang of it for certain. So the bottom line is never say die and keep coding as much as it can get... By the way, are you planning on making a video on Next.js in the future?
Don't worry, I used to have a lot of trouble understanding react because I lacked some of the initial knowledge I should have learned. However with time it comes naturally. I plan on some more nextjs videos soon :)
A lot of the things you said it’s useless to learn will be asked during the interview so I suggest people learn vanilla js and how to manipulate the dom and react classes
Hey, great video. I appreciate you taking the time to give a good roadmap for learning React (currently chipping away at it). I think your video could be further improved by perhaps making adding some sort of visual presentation of the process. It is a bit hard to follow simply by listening to you, so I had to take visual notes as I went along. Just a suggestion!
Pedro, could you make a video on how to learn those popular styling libraries, like Ant Design and Material UI? There docs are so big and look messy, where should I start?
Once you used to a js framework like react or vue combined with nodejs express, you'll feel like youre coding a vanilla js. Then you start finding a new tools to make it easier. Thats the call to learn Nextjs or Nuxtjs.
Great stuff Pedro, i liked how you explain. Brother I liked to start small react application that contain login page and home page with side bar per user permission, i watched you videos I hope they help me my journey.
Hi, I´m not a native English speaker so I was not able to understand the library you quoted to create multiple pages. did you say React-query-dom? I did some research and found one called react-router-dom. Which one is it? thanks
good tutorial you have sir .. i just want to get your opinion about me learning REACT JS .. MY superior in the office instructed me to learn REACT JS .. i only know html css and php wayback 5 yrs ago and i forgotten it already .. NOW , im learning REACT JS .. i already know how to use USESTATE ,USEEFFECT and was able to create login, a bit of CRUD in REACT JS .. NOW, im kinda thinking of learning JAVASCRIPT because i know nothing about JAVASCRIPT WHEN I LEARN REACT .. .. so NOW IM LEARNING javascript to fully grasp HOW REACT WORKs BECAUSE react js IS based on JAVASCRIPT .. SO YEAH! , IM LEARNING JAVASCRIPT AS I watch your tutorial, Thank you !
Hi! what do you mean when you say the theoretical part of react? can you address us to to good sources of information and write us a list of the realavnt concepts? thx in advance 👏🏻
I started learning react 2 months ago, but my friend who is a senior dev told me only react can't get me a job. He told me to learn alot of other stuff beside react like redux, nextjs, UI libaries,... and some basic knowledge in the backend too, is it true that frontend entry level is that difficult?
I'm not Pedro but this is true. It is also expected to know some Typescript (which isn't so hard really). Get comfy in React first and then move to Redux and routes, etc.
Hi, Thanks for the detailed videos. I am following you on my React Journey. Please make use of slides/ written content while explaining all the stuff. Also, show a Recap slide at the end.
I don't think you need to be good in react to start next. They are very similar and different at the same time. I would say you CAN learn nextjs without knowing react, but in my opinion I would at least get used to the basics of react before going to next.
hello pedro, thank u for your tutorials .we are really profit from them but there is not any tutorial in youtube about admin pannel of node,react,mysql, project can u do one video for example? thanks
Could you make a video on React Query? I used it in my last project and realized the amazing potential it has but I would love to learn to use it better.
But if we want create a bigger application in react we have to use class compnt's.... At present i am working on health care project (we r using class compnt's... So please do the video on class compnt's how to use it.

After a while it all comes down to practicing through projects. I don’t know you current level, but some cool projects that personally helped me were the following: social media website, something that deals with a lot of data, testing out weird libraries for fun, cloning websites
@@PedroTechnologies if I'm give rate out of ten then its 7 I also done WhatsApp clone Amazon clone Netflix clone But I'm not satisfied i want big project help me
It depends a lot on how much time you spend studying everyday and also what you consider is the threshold for learning. In this video i considered the threshold to be the point where you start applying for entry level jobs (which is indeed possible in 3 months). But i find it interesting peoples different opinions on how long it takes hahaha how long do you think it takes to learn react?

What is so confusing is that I’m learning with functional components but react docs are doing so much with class components. What’s up with that?
Now react docs removed class components
Its kind of outdated but the course Im learning at says you need some basic understanding because major part of legacy code is on it
