Hi folks, it’s Robin.

Last month I launched the new The Road to React feat. Hooks and I was just blown away by your Newsletter response. Thank you for that!

Again, if you are just getting started with React or if you need a refresher on all the new concepts, don’t hesitate to read it. This book is for everyone who likes step by step walkthroughs.

If you have bought the book a few years ago on my website, you should have access to the new version too. It’s a complete rewrite of the previous book which has been downloaded by more than 50.000 readers now.

If you are interested in how I built this new website with React + Next + GraphQL + TypeScript + Firebase, check out this Twitter thread which I will continue to write over the next months.

Here are three new features which I got running just last week:

1) It’s possible to upgrade your bundle to a higher tier now. You can find this feature on your course dashboard.

2) If you are a student or teacher at a school or university, send me proof of it and ask me about student coupons. I want to hand out as many as possible for people who are just getting started with JavaScript.

3) If you are writing about JavaScript yourself, it’s possible to become a partner now. Check out what this means on your account dashboard.

That’s it about the website. The whole website is open source on GitHub and I intend to add more features to it. Let me know what you’d like to see me implement for it :-)

Whether you are affected or not by the current world events, I think there are lots of opportunities to help others right now. Especially as developers, we can bootstrap little helper applications quick and easy; if we have the time to do it of course. I have written down my thoughts on Twitter on how I would approach a React project idea. It may help others, or it may just help you to get better with your tools. Either way, it’s a win-win situation.

Next time there will be tutorials again. If you cannot wait, check out this blog post about why I think that it’s still valuable to learn Redux. Once again, thank you all for your kind feedback about the Road to React launch :-)

Stay healthy and safe.

Robin
