3 Best React JS Courses
Ready to learn the fastest growing JavaScript Framework? Check out my top three courses for learning React JS
Why React?
React is currently in the top ten for developer salaries and it’s the #1 fastest growing JavaScript Framework. It’s easy to get started with, and there are a ton of jobs and opportunities React can provide!
Why these courses?
I believe in great content, and I believe in great instructors. Both are equally important. There are thousands of online react courses. I’ve sifted through reviews, talked with instructors, and even taken courses — in my opinion, theses are the best three react courses on the web right now.
Have fun learning!

Top 3 React JS Courses
#1 Modern React with Redux
Instructor: Stephen Grider || 26.5 Hours of Video || 52,109 Students
Stephen Grider is the King of React. He has created 11 courses teaching React and has over 86,000 enrolled students! He knows not only how to create great content — but also how to be a great instructor.
This course is his introductory React JS course. It covers React and Redux. Redux is a state manager that helps you manage ‘state’ within your React applications. If you have no idea what that means, that OK! That’s why you take Stephen’s course. He starts from the ground up, and introduces and explains every topic along the way.
Not only will you walk about with a great foundation and understanding of React, but you’ll also understand the basics of Redux — which is really, really important for scaling applications (aka getting a job with a React).
As I said earlier, this is an introductory course. You can’t fully understand complex concepts without a thorough understanding of the basics — and Stephen has you covered.
Finally, this is a ‘learn by building’ course. That means you won’t just be coding along with a video — you’ll be learning while creating real world, production ready web applications!

#2 Full-Stack Web Apps with Meteor and React
Instructor: Andrew Mead|| 31.5 Hours of Video || 3,471 Students
Andrew Mead is another one of my favorite instructors. He’s designed 3 courses and has over 30,000 students. I like Andrew for three reasons:
- He’s a great instructor. Clear, easy to understand voice, videos, and examples.
- You build really cool things! In every one of his courses you learn how to build awesome web applications
- He’s available when you need help. Reaching out in the class message boards is super easy and Andrew is always available to help out.
Here’s what Andrew says this course is all about:
Are you trying to build and launch full-stack web applications? Maybe you want to freelance, switch careers, or launch your own side-project. If so, this is the course for you.
Here are some of the cool things you learn to build in this course:
- A leaderboard app, where you’ll learn the basics of Meteor and React
