ReactJS is the latest JavaScript framework to capture the hearts and attention of the frontend developer community.

Developers love ReactJS because it highly performant and renders changes almost instantly. The best part about ReactJS is that it is a relatively small framework and does not take too much time to learn!

Starting with the basics of JSX syntax, this course will teach you how to model UI components using React Components. By the end you should be able to manage the state and life cycle of React Components and use them to dynamically generate lists and forms.

If you're starting to learn ReactJS this course is great. I do think it deserves 3 stars out of 5 . But decided to give 4 because the other reviews, kind of missed the point I'll touch on that on the end. If you've recently started trying to learn React like me, you've probably seen a ton of these...

This is just a tutorial. There are more appropriate places for similar tutorials.

I don't understand Microsoft's philosophy behind spamming edx with this kind of material. Compared to most other MOOCs this one appears extremely amateurish.

Anyway if you're totally new to Javascript frameworks or specifically React then take this one, it will introduce you to the necessary.
