I'm looking for some up-to-date resources for learning Modern React. Any recommendations?

I suggest starting with the official React documentation. It's quite comprehensive and includes tutorials for Hooks and Context API.

That's true, class components are pretty much deprecated now. Stick to hooks and context.

Also, take a look at Tyler McGinnis's React course on Frontend Masters. It's fantastic and covers advanced topics.

Thanks @webdevfan. I heard about Frontend Masters, and will check it out.

Stay away from tutorials using class components. Only learn functional components with hooks and context.

That's some strong advice! I assume you mean even for beginners?

Yeah, I learned with class components and transitioned to hooks. It was confusing, so I suggest going straight to hooks.

What's confusing about class components? I thought they were more straightforward.

@ei6123 Class components are just 'bad-practice' now. They can be done, but folks hire for React hooks, not React classes.

There's no need to worry about class components anymore. Focus on hooks and context - that's the way forward.

I agree with @babelboss. Learning class components is like learning obsolete programming concepts. Stick to hooks and context.

What about React Native for mobile app development? I want to learn that with React.

React Native is a whole other topic. I recommend first learning the web version of React to build your foundation.

That sounds like a good plan. I'll start with React, then move on to React Native.
