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).

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
Is it okay to post coupons on here?
FYI, when I applied the coupon and it registered the reduction to $49 (Masters Package) in the field, but was charged $59 at checkout.
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!

Thanks for the additional discount!
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.

EDIT: Can't buy when using Safari so I used FF
The backend for this course is Firebase. It's all done client side and Firebase handles the authentication and data handling!
EDIT: Doesn't work in Safari on Mac
