I'm two years late. You explained this better than anyone I've watched!

[gvbaker]

This was really helpful. I've watched a bunch of tutorials that have skipped over the concepts of "bind" and "state", and your explanations cleared things up. Looking forward to some more videos. Thanks again!

Dont normally waste my time commenting on video’s but as a software tester i’m constantly trying to improve my dev knowledge so see defects from a development stand point. This video was perfect and key to my progression with React.

Hey Chris! This is the best tutorial ever! I really appreciate you taking the time to make such an amazing tutorial! I can understand you perfectly, as your audio is great! Also, you know your shit well because you can easily teach a complete beginner such as myself. I really wish that you made part 2 and part 3, as I really can grasp all this complex info with the way you are teaching! I will subscribe and put on notifications in hopes that you make another video to follow in this epic series! Thank you so much and please keep sharing your knowledge with the world! I appreciate it!!! <3

this is the BEST explanation of React props and state that I have found anywhere on the internet. I really hope to find more from Chris... someday... even after 3 yrs.

A really good video. I like the simplicity of it. Straight to the point with code and not too much of analysis. It really helped me understood the basics just like that. Keep up the good work!

Really one of the better tuts on React out there, very concise. I'll be using this as a reference for my students. A tiny hiccup however, this.setState# is not an impure function ergo it is not mutating state. You're setting state to a new object, which is a pure function. You do fantastic work, keep it up!

Hey Chris, I've been looking around easy and short tutorial for React and now I've found it. Your tutorial is super clear and easy for someone like me. I thin I get a sense of it now.. especially after many documents drowned me...
Thanks a lot for your perfect React Intro. I would like to share it with my friends.

I have gone through a lot of videos; your has put my feet on the ground. I normally use vsCode for my assignments and face the challenge of separating it into HTML, CSS and Js. You deserve more likes and subscriptions.

This is great material! I work pretty heavily with React and thought this was a great overview for someone new to it all. One slight nitpick: Around 5:28, you made it sound like the parentheses are necessary to have children of a JSX tag. While I usually use parentheses around all my JSX, they aren't technically required. All you need is the single parent tag, like you mentioned.

I'm definitely going to link to this video whenever someone asks me for an intro to React! Keep it up!

[AzulWells]

Simply awesome. Kept it simple while sharing excellent insights. You are a gifted instructor.

FOR FUTURE VIEWERS :
Quick add both React and React DOM, make sure React is added before the ReactDOM CDN. Change React.render() to ReactDOM.render()

[okiuimonen]

Thanks a lot! I have been going through a lot of tutorials and this one covered the basics faster than any other, very clearly and concisely.

[joegreen]

Really great tututorial. Clear, stays within scope. I really like how you talk your way though things as you go.

[resistpen]

Man! you were super good in this video. It was clear and informative. Thanks for your efforts.

[eddiegomez]

DOPE! Currently learning ReactJS; this more or less summed up everything I've covered. It was a good overview. Thanks my dude!

[MrKadmi]

Hey, it's the best education video that I ever seen. Everything is so clear and easy. Thank you!

[codeChris]

Short and simple examples. Awesome, thanks for exploring the overview . It was nice to see how fast it can be implemented

[hustshawn]

cool tuto! Thanks. Is there any videos can talk about how to set the gulp+browsersync+react env?

[nardbagel]

Isn't it good practice to bind the current context to "this" in the constructor, and not in the render method?
