Three working apps in two weeks
I finished every project, and the weather widget is now a real thing on my portfolio. Maya's pacing is spot-on — never too slow, never a leap.

Great intro, wanted more routing
Loved the projects, but I wish there was a bonus module on React Router. Everything else is exactly what a working engineer needs to start shipping.
Finally "got" hooks
I've started React courses three times before and always lost the thread at useEffect. The way this one walks you from useState into useEffect made the whole thing click.
Worth every dollar
I refunded at first because of an unrelated budget issue, but I kept watching the previews and came back. The 80% of the course that is free to preview already taught me more than a $200 bootcamp.
