Thanks everyone - this kind support means a ton to me.

Is it okay to post coupons on here?

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by wesbos on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:26AM (#10500144)
Ok! Use the code LAUNCHDAY for an extra $10 off today's price. Enjoy!
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by WellDressed on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:33AM (#10500192)
Hi Wes,

FYI, when I applied the coupon and it registered the reduction to $49 (Masters Package) in the field, but was charged $59 at checkout.

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by wesbos on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:35AM (#10500210)
Shoot me an email and I'll get it all fixed up - [email protected]
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by WellDressed on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:48AM (#10500732)
Thanks much for the quick reply Wes! You're the best!
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by tortilla on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @01:21PM (#10501424)
Nice. Just bought the Master Package using your coupon. React has always been on my to-learn list.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by octref on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:15AM (#10500497)
Hey Wes. You mentioned there is a student discount. How much are the packages after the discount?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by evo_9 on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:59PM (#10501252)
This is really great Wes, thanks for creating this and providing great launch day pricing + a HN code!

I've been posting a lot of learn react articles lately as I have been ramping up on this stuff so the timing is absolutely awesome!

Thanks!

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by FailMore on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:23AM (#10500122)
Yes - please do :)
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by bpp on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:47AM (#10500293)
Interesting package but I'm curious about the choice of Firebase. Seems like Firebase's data binding model is antithetical to the patterns React encourages (unidirectional flow/Flux).
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by fiatjaf on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @01:09PM (#10501324)
Without being an ass or criticizing the course (which seems very cool) I find it very strange that an experienced Javascript programmer would have a hard time learning React. Not that I am some master in it, but I've learned the basics on the official tutorial and some bits here and there over the internet and tweaking with it.

Also I don't think a begginer course will make everybody a master on the topic.

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by jbob2000 on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @01:18PM (#10501400)
The website is called React for Beginners, not React for Experienced Javascript programmers.

And aside from that, react is very different from what a lot of experienced javascript developers may have worked with. My team works with CanJs, it would be a big leap to go from that to React, experience be damned.

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by sergiotapia on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @03:11PM (#10502222)
You learn the basics, you don't learn how to structure your files, best practices in React and such. That's why I, an experienced javascript developer, bought this course. I intend to use React in a Meteor app.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by microstash on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:55AM (#10500359)
This looks great - producing a video course like this is very different from writing a book. Did you find the transition difficult?

Thanks for the additional discount!

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by wesbos on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:01AM (#10500398)
I much prefer video over writing - that said this videos series took about 200 hours of work start-to-finish. Lots of work, but I absolutely love it.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by spking on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:14AM (#10500044)
Thank you for making this. I've been bouncing between Udemy, random blog posts and official docs for over a month now. This looks perfect.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by devit on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:22AM (#10500548)
Should probably use Webpack instead of Gulp + Browserify.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by hiphopyo on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:35AM (#10500635)
I just started on http://survivejs.com/ which does that. Have yet to make a comparison with React for Beginners though.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by sanderjd on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:17PM (#10500941)
Care to expand on this?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by fiatjaf on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @01:06PM (#10501304)
Webpack is awful.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by Kiro on Wednesday November 04, 2015 @02:54AM (#10505144)
Why?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by Kiro on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:25PM (#10501005)
Why?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by fleetfox on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:24AM (#10500124)
Anything like this involving redux?

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by fleetfox on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:42PM (#10501133)
This is great. Thanks!
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by swah on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:35AM (#10500209)
Like this in what sense? https://blog.andyet.com/2015/08/06/what-the-flux-lets-redux is on my readlist...
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by gfosco on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:12AM (#10500024)
Very cool... Happy to support this type of project, signed up for the master package. Will finally dip in and check out React.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by planetjones on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:45PM (#10501157)
I didn't see anything about automated testing? Is that covered in the course?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by magic_beans on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @01:13PM (#10501353)
What does one actually build with this course?

I have some experience with building a small React app but I can't determine from your site whether or not this course will refine my skills at all.

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by jbob2000 on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @01:20PM (#10501419)
Straight from the website:

"Together, we will build “Catch of the Day” — a real-time app for a trendy seafood market where price and quantity available are variable and can change at a moments notice. We will build a menu, an order form, and an inventory management area where authorized users can immediately update product details."

Did you even read it?

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by calebm on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:41AM (#10500675)
This looks great, I'll buy. +1 for Redux coverage (I'm sure it ridiculously difficult to keep any kind of React learning material up-to-date!)
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by TY on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:03PM (#10500836)
I don't think there's any Redux coverage in this course

Here's the quote from the site:

Does this video series cover Flux? Redux? Fluxible? Reflux? Alt? Flummox? Marty.js? McFly? Lux? Material Flux? Nuclear.js? Fluxette? Flipity Flop? Fluppity Floop?

React is amazing in that there are many libraries that work really well with it. While those libraries are fantastic, they may add unnecessary abstractions when learning.

So, this course is focused on you absolutely nailing React and walking away feeling confident in your understanding, hungry to learn and build more.

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by derekja on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @02:39PM (#10501976)
Great. I've been working through the pluralsight react courses but I liked your Sublime stuff and am excited to give this course a look!
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by matart on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:22PM (#10500970)
I see a lot about reactjs. Am I able to built a multi state SPA with it? If so would this course be enough to get me started?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by eecks on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @03:53PM (#10502566)
I'm trying to buy the Master Package now.. but I can't find the buy link.

EDIT: Can't buy when using Safari so I used FF

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by saghul on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:30AM (#10500603)
Thanks for making this! Just signed up for the master package, can't wait to start watching the videos. <3
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by sergiotapia on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:54PM (#10501214)
I thought the guy in the picture was Ewan McGregor! What is this course using for the backend?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by wesbos on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:56PM (#10501225)
Ahah - everyone says that.

The backend for this course is Firebase. It's all done client side and Firebase handles the authentication and data handling!

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by sergiotapia on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @12:59PM (#10501246)
Just bought the course, I'm pumped! I want to really grok React to use in my Meteor apps.
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by eecks on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @04:06PM (#10502663)
How did you buy it? No links on the page..

EDIT: Doesn't work in Safari on Mac

Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by tmpname on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @11:56AM (#10500782)
Sold! I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Thanks!
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by vijayr on Wednesday November 04, 2015 @08:49AM (#10506394)
Does it include React Native too?
Re:Show HN: React for Beginners by pacomerh on Thursday November 12, 2015 @07:25PM (#10557198)
Do you honestly think it would include React Native videos without mentioning it on the site?. If you sell something you squeeze all the features
