Learn React — modern, component-driven, hooks-first.

A personal React course built around what you want to ship — a side project, a job switch, a feature at work. Strive shapes the curriculum, streams lessons live, and uses spaced recall so the patterns stick beyond week one.

What you’ll learn

• Build components, lift state, and pass props without spaghetti.
• Use the core hooks: useState, useEffect, useMemo, useReducer.
• Fetch and cache data with a modern data layer (react-query, SWR).
• Handle forms, validation, and accessibility basics.
• Reason about renders — when, how often, and what to memoize.
• Ship a small but real project end-to-end.
