Codecademy has a free two-part React course which was my first exposure to React and I think it was very good. Then I completed the FCC react section and did the front-end libraries projects with React Doing the above will be a very good start but if you learn better with videos then it would be worth buying a Udemy course, your employer might even buy it for you. However, even once you get the hang of React I feel like the general consensus is that a more than basic application requires implementation of React Router, and a flux pattern package like Redux. ---

Are you following Dan Abramov (inventor of Redux, now on React’s core team, Hooks evangelist). He’s pretty active on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/dan_abramov) and [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/gaearon/posts/) UPDATE: Fixed the reddit link - now goes straight to his posts, which is way more useful than his recent activity. ---
