Наконец разобралась с хуками и построила рабочий проект для портфолио уже к концу курса.

Consegui montar meu primeiro projeto de portfólio em React ainda na segunda semana, muito prático.

Corso solido per chi parte da zero con React, gli hook vengono spiegati con calma e ci sono progetti concreti da mettere nel portfolio. L'unico neo è che alcune sezioni sui componenti più avanzati vanno un po' veloci e serve rivedere il video due volte.

React'e sıfırdan başlayanlar için gerçekten işe yarayan bir kurs. İlk başta component ve props kavramları biraz kafa karıştırıcı geldi ama anlatım o kadar adım adım ilerliyor ki birkaç bölüm sonra her şey oturdu. En çok beğendiğim kısım, sadece teori değil gerçek portföy projeleri üzerinden ilerlememiz oldu; bir görev listesi ve basit bir hava durumu uygulaması yaptım. Hooks kısmı da beklediğimden çok daha anlaşılırdı. Kursu bitirdiğimde elimde gösterebileceğim gerçek projeler vardı, bu bana iş başvurularında bile özgüven verdi.

Saya suka cara kursus ini fokus kepada projek sebenar dari awal lagi, jadi belajar React rasa lebih bermakna berbanding tengok video sahaja. Bahagian state management ada sedikit cabaran pada mulanya tetapi contoh yang diberikan cukup membantu untuk faham. Lepas habiskan kursus ini saya ada tiga projek kecil yang boleh dimasukkan dalam portfolio.

Finalmente um curso de React que não fica só na teoria. Construí três projetos reais para o portfólio, incluindo uma lista de tarefas com hooks, e agora entendo de verdade como state e props se conectam. O ritmo é ótimo para quem está começando do zero.

Finally understand hooks properly now.

The pacing here is what sets this course apart, each concept is introduced right before you need it for the next project. I went from barely understanding JSX to building a working portfolio site with three separate React apps inside it. The instructor's habit of explaining why something works, not just how, made a huge difference for me.

This is exactly the kind of React course beginners actually need. Instead of endless slides about theory, every module ends with a real project you can put straight into your portfolio, from a simple todo app to a small weather dashboard pulling live data. The explanation of hooks, especially useState and useEffect, finally made things click for me after struggling with other tutorials. I also appreciated how the instructor breaks down component structure step by step instead of just dumping code on screen. By the end I had four solid projects to show and a much better mental model of how React actually works.

بدأت هذه الدورة وأنا لا أعرف سوى القليل عن React وانتهيت بمشاريع حقيقية أضفتها إلى معرض أعمالي. شرح المكوّنات والـ props والـ hooks كان واضحاً جداً، وأخيراً فهمت كيف تتدفق البيانات داخل التطبيق. أعجبني أن كل درس يبني تطبيقاً عملياً بدل الاكتفاء بالنظرية المجردة. مشروع قائمة المهام ساعدني كثيراً على استيعاب إدارة الحالة باستخدام useState. صرت أكثر ثقة بنفسي للتقديم على وظائف تطوير الواجهات الأمامية. أنصح بها بشدة لكل مبتدئ يريد أساساً قوياً في React.

शुरुआती लोगों के लिए React सीखने का यह कोर्स काफी व्यावहारिक है, हर सेक्शन के बाद एक असली प्रोजेक्ट बनवाया जाता है जो पोर्टफोलियो में जोड़ा जा सकता है। hooks और state वाला हिस्सा थोड़ा तेज़ लगा और मुझे कुछ वीडियो दोबारा देखने पड़े, लेकिन कुल मिलाकर सीखने का तरीका बहुत साफ है।

Un cours vraiment concret, j'ai construit plusieurs projets React que je peux montrer fièrement dans mon portfolio.

Курс хорошо структурирован для новичков в React: сначала объясняют компоненты и пропсы, потом переходят к состоянию и хукам, и всё это на практике через реальные проекты. Мне особенно понравилось, что вместо абстрактных примеров мы собирали конкретные вещи вроде списка задач и небольшого дашборда, которые потом можно показать в портфолио. Темп местами кажется быстрым, особенно когда дело доходит до useEffect и работы с API, приходится пересматривать видео. В целом после прохождения появилось реальное понимание, как React работает под капотом, а не просто копирование кода.

React सीखने के लिए यह कोर्स काफी अच्छा है, खासकर उन लोगों के लिए जो पहले सिर्फ YouTube ट्यूटोरियल से भ्रमित हो चुके हैं। props और state के बीच का फर्क अब साफ समझ आता है, हालांकि आखिरी वाले प्रोजेक्ट में गति थोड़ी तेज़ महसूस हुई।

Отличный курс для старта в React, после него у меня в портфолио три рабочих проекта.

Empecé sin saber casi nada de React y terminé con varios proyectos sólidos para mi portafolio. La explicación de los hooks, sobre todo useState y useEffect, por fin me hizo entender cómo fluye el estado en una aplicación. Me encantó que cada lección construyera algo real en lugar de quedarse en la teoría. El proyecto del gestor de tareas y la app de clima me ayudaron a interiorizar el manejo de componentes y props. Salí sintiéndome listo para postularme a puestos de front-end. Una base buenísima para cualquier aspirante a desarrollador.

実際に手を動かしてポートフォリオ用のプロジェクトを作れるので、Reactの理解が一気に深まりました。

Kursus ini sangat sesuai untuk saya yang baru nak mula belajar React, sebab setiap topik disertai projek sebenar bukan sekadar teori. Saya suka bahagian di mana kami bina aplikasi senarai tugasan dan sedikit projek e-commerce ringkas untuk portfolio. Bahagian hooks macam useState dan useEffect diterangkan dengan contoh yang mudah difahami walaupun kadang-kadang perlu ulang video sekali dua. Secara keseluruhan selepas habis kursus ini saya rasa lebih yakin nak mohon kerja sebagai front-end developer kerana ada projek sebenar untuk ditunjukkan.
