🚀 Go beyond simple tutorials

Tutorials might seem like a useful learning tool, but in reality they barely scratch the surface of what React is.

You will never become a senior developer through tutorials alone.

The senior developers I know are senior because of experience, not because they can build a simple to-do app.

Experience comes by building

To become an experienced React developer, you need to build.

You need to build big and complex projects. Projects that solve difficult problems.

The problem is, how do you do that when you're just starting out?

🛠️ Project React will teach you how to build

What if I told you that there was a better way to learn React?

What if you had a mentor who would guide you through building a real-world project with step-by-step instructions?

What if you could build a complex React application as a total beginner?

Imagine having all the steps laid out in front of you, all of your questions answered, and a clear path to building the project.

Introducing Project React

As of today, you no longer have to imagine anything. You can start building today.

Project React is going to walk you through step-by-step on how to build a big and complex application with React.

I spent months building it so that you could have the best possible learning experience.

It is efficient, effective, and will help you more than any tutorial ever could.

🤔 How it works

Project React is two things: a course and a custom application.

The course will have videos teaching you fundamental React concepts and the custom application will have step-by-step written instructions on how to build a big project.

The custom application serves both as your guide and as the project itself. It has all of the code you need to build the project.

This is a unqiue approach that has never been done before.

The course will also have videos of me walking you through the implementation of each step in the project.

My vision for this project

I envisioned this as a project that would teach you all of the fundamental skills in React, while also showing you how to apply them to a big project.

I want to simplify complexity without compromising depth.

The project teaches you advanced concepts while making them digestible for beginners. It ensures that you understand the code you write and why you write it.

It removes any doubt that you might have about your ability to become a great React developer.

There is no other resource like it.

📚 Course Structure

The course is organized into 8 modules, and in each module you will learn some theory about React, and then immediately apply it to the project.

Each module is focused on a specific part of React and will contain a series of lessons teaching you the required concepts.

Then, at the end of each module, you will have to implement what you have learnt in the project, building upon the previous module.

👨🏻‍💻 The project you'll build

In case it wasn't clear enough by now, you are going to be building one big project throughout the entire course.

You will be guided step-by-step in each module to add more features to the application and by the end, you will have built and deployed complete production-ready application with React.

The project is a booking platform akin to AirBnB or Booking.com.

I chose a booking platform because it touches all of the core areas of React development. We'll need to learn how to create components in React to display the listings, how to handle state and allow filtering, how to fetch the listings from an API, how to navigate to a listing's detail page, how to add a listing to your favorites, and how to put the entire application behind a sign in form.

Building one step at a time

We will start small, setting up the app and building the first components, and progressively add more and more features to the application.

Through this you will learn how to write clean code, how to structure the application architecture efficiently, how to implement design patterns, and how to make sure that your application can scale to large amounts of users and developers.

The goal here is to build your confidence in tackling a project of this size. As mentioned previously, an AI can spit out code in seconds, but not everyone knows how to fit it together and build a complex and architecturally sound system.

Project React will teach you how and why.

Hey, I’m Darius! 🤙

You might know me from my YouTube channel, Cosden Solutions.

I've been working with React for over 8 years, building complex projects as both a team member within startups and corporations, as well as on my own as a freelancer. I've also dedicated long after-work hours to passion projects. I've learned a lot about React along the way, how it truly works under-the-hood, how to effectively use it, and how to build really big and complex applications with it.

In early 2023, I decided to start teaching React to others. I created a YouTube channel which has now grown to millions of views and tens of thousands of subscribers. As much of a success as the YouTube channel has become, I felt like I could do more. I wanted to create a course that would help people learn React in a way that I wish I had learned it.

I've designed this course for you who are in the same position I was 8 years ago – starting with React and feeling overwhelmed. There are so many tutorials and roadmaps out there, but the truth is, however much time you spend on them, when you eventually get that job you wanted or start building that project, if you're anything like me, you'll feel like an imposter.

All those tutorials and roadmaps showed you were small projects. And the thing on your screen now is BIG. This is why I made this course and kind of reverse-engineered it – starting from one BIG, real-world project, you will learn everything you need to know about React, all while gaining confidence to handle a project of this size when the time comes.

Project React will prepare you for your first big project much more than any tutorial could and you will learn everything you need to become a great React developer. It's unfortunately too late for me to learn React through this course. But for you, this is just the beginning.
