Beginner

• Find learning materials that teach the basics of React. You may start by visiting our “resources” section for React and looking at each of the “beginner” resources. 


• Install Node on your local machine and npm will be automatically installed for you. 


• Install Create React App using npm.


• Start creating small projects or apps by following tutorials, e.g. simple stateless components which you can combine to create useful small apps. 

Intermediate

• By the intermediate stage, you should completely understand how components work and how you can combine small components and create relatively complex apps.


• You should have a firm grasp of how state can be passed to child components.


• You should understand how hooks are used to create stateful functional components. 

Advanced

• By this stage, you should be very familiar with if not a master of documentation. You should be able to comfortably review the documentation for various unknown functions to quickly and easily get a grasp for what they do. 


• Start focusing on optimization and performance. The goal is not just to code something that works, but something that works both correctly and efficiently.
