React, Next.js and modern frontend.
React
Step 0: The JavaScript Concepts You Must Know
React is a JavaScript library, so modern JS is the real foundation. Master let/const, arrow functions, destructuring, map and more before you start.
React
Step 1: My First React App — Understanding Components, JSX and Props
Start React from scratch: what React is, how to scaffold your first app with Vite, and how components, JSX and props fit together.
React
Step 2: From Static to Dynamic — My First React Hook (useState)
Make React interactive with the useState hook. Turn a static component into a live counter and learn how state gives a component its memory.
React
Step 3: React's Most Powerful Patterns — Lists and Controlled Forms
Two patterns you'll use in every React app: conditional rendering, rendering lists with keys, and building controlled form inputs.
React
Step 4: My First API Call in React — Mastering the useEffect Hook
Fetch data the right way in React. Learn the useEffect hook, why you can't fetch in the component body, and how to avoid infinite loops.
React
Step 5: From One Page to a Full Website — Mastering React Router
Turn a single page into a real multi-page site with react-router-dom — routes, links and client-side navigation explained simply.
React
Step 6: React's Superpower — Solving Prop Drilling with the useContext Hook
Prop drilling makes React apps messy. See how the useContext hook shares state across components without passing props through every level.
React
Step 7: Why Is My React App Slow? A Beginner's Guide to memo, useCallback and useMemo
Why React apps get slow and how to fix it — a beginner-friendly guide to memo, useCallback and useMemo with clear before-and-after examples.
React
Step 8: React Is Just the Beginning — React Query, Zustand and Chakra UI
Go beyond the basics with React Query, Zustand and Chakra UI — simpler data fetching, cleaner global state and faster UI development.
React
Step 9: Why I Rebuilt My React Blog with Next.js (and You Should Too)
Testing with Jest, and why I rebuilt my React blog with Next.js — the professional skills that take you from working code to production-ready.

React Server Components Explained (2026 Guide)
React Server Components run on the server and send zero JavaScript to the browser. Here's what they are, how they differ from client components, and when to use each.
