A step by step guide to learn and master react.js
A React tutorial written as a single long README, walking beginners from JSX basics through hooks and routing. It targets people who know HTML/CSS/JS but have never touched React. The approach is tutorial-by-example with inline exercises at the end of each section.
The progression from raw CDN scripts to create-react-app is deliberate and actually useful — beginners see what the toolchain is hiding before it hides it. Exercises are embedded immediately after each concept rather than collected at the end, which forces active recall. The inline styling section explicitly contrasts object syntax with className, which is a genuine gotcha for newcomers. The repo includes two starter projects (react-starter, first-react-app) so learners have scaffolding to experiment with.
It targets React 16 with class components and the legacy ReactDOM.render API — React 18's createRoot, hooks-first approach, and concurrent features are not here. Last commit was January 2023, so this is effectively abandoned. The README is the entire tutorial, which means no searchability, no navigation beyond scrolling, and no way to contribute incrementally. The 'why React' section compares star counts of React vs Vue as a proxy for quality, which is weak reasoning to hand to a beginner.
