Modern React with Redux (Udemy.com)

Master React and Redux. Apply modern design patterns to build apps with React Router, TailwindCSS, Context, and Hooks!

Created by: Stephen Grider

Last updated February 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 89,158 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in February 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a long, slow-build introduction to React that ends with Redux Toolkit. The syllabus shows 693 lectures over about 76 hours, split into 21 sections that start with JSX and components and work up through forms, API calls, context, routing, custom hooks, reducers, and finally Redux Toolkit with async thunks. TailwindCSS and TypeScript get mentioned in the pitch, but the section list is mostly core React. The stated audience is programmers who already code and want to learn React. Complete beginners to JavaScript would struggle, since the only listed requirement is a computer and the material assumes you can already program.

Students mostly praise the teaching. Stephen Grider explains each idea with custom diagrams and a lot of patience, and several reviewers say they could follow every concept without getting lost. The complaints are consistent with a 4.6 rating from about 89,000 reviews: one finds the diagrams excessive for simple ideas, one calls the pace too basic and wanted a bigger Redux Toolkit project at the end, and one two-star review gave up over code errors and CORS problems with the Unsplash API. Low speech volume, a codesandbox sign-up that asks for contact access, and a wish for more exercises between lectures also come up.

The course was last updated in February 2026 and, with about 333,000 students, has a track record back to 2015. React - The Complete Guide sits beside it on our React and Redux pages; this one has no Next.js in its section list and keeps all 21 sections on core React and Redux Toolkit. It is a good pick for programmers who want React explained slowly with a gentle on-ramp to Redux Toolkit, and a poor one for anyone hoping to finish with a portfolio-grade project.

Best forProgrammers new to React who want every concept drawn out in diagrams before they type, then a gentle on-ramp to Redux Toolkit.
Skip it ifYou already ship React and want advanced patterns or a bigger Redux Toolkit project; one reviewer calls the final app too basic.

Pros

  • Hundreds of custom diagrams; reviewers say they could follow every concept without getting lost
  • Refreshed in February 2026 with Redux Toolkit, Context, custom hooks, and React Router
  • 693 lectures, 28 quizzes, and 11 coding exercises spread across 21 sections
  • Deliberately walks into likely bugs and then fixes them, which one reviewer found helpful

Cons

  • About 76 hours long, and one reviewer finds the diagrams overkill for simple ideas
  • Final app skips Redux Toolkit; one experienced reviewer calls the projects too basic
  • A two-star review hit repeated code errors and CORS problems with the Unsplash API
The subjects are explained very clearly and with a lot of patience. Stephen's explanations are engaging.

Listed as all levels, but it assumes you already program; JavaScript beginners should start elsewhere first.

Overall, it's very good. I have learned a lot from this course. But in my opinion, needs more interaction during lectures. For example, when a new topic is introduced, students should be given a chance to make code modifications, and, for that, some hints could be provided. So that students can use their thinking skills to solve the problem. I think that way topics will stick more, and it will help in the learning process.

By Robbie Sherre on 9/14/2025

So many mistakes that I had to fix over and over, became really time consuming, CORS issues with unsplash etc, great explanations, but the end result was troubleshooting too many code errors,... kind of a bummer truth be told.... moving on to a different course,..... unfortunately...

By Muratcan Akçay . on 10/12/2021

It's good to see the course updated to 2023 tech. It's disappointing however that some bits in the previous version are now omitted in this "updated" version. And the presentation of the course if a big issue. Yes a lot of hard work has gone into making this course, which I applaud, but I'd say it does not increase the value of the course, it in fact decreases it. This is a 37 hour course which could be cut in half (at least). Stephen talks about the same things over and over and over and over, and explains things to the most unneeded little detail. If one extreme is a teacher that only reads the code and explains nothing - which makes a terrible course - the other extreme is a teacher that over-explains and keeps over-explaining. This course suffers from the latter. Much more content could be included in this course if the "explanations" were kept to a reasonable amount. Nevertheless, it's a good course.

By Mohamed Elwekil on 6/21/2019

This Course is really nice, I studied about Reactjs before but it was very limited course, this one Stephen provided a detailed explanation about every single use case/option available while developing with Reactjs and I would like to recommend this course for anyone who's looking to get more in depth details about Reactjs and Redux. FYI, It took me around 150 hours to finish this course and build all applications myself without the need of checking google/Stackoverflow of Stephen's code. Thanks a lot

By Justin M. on 1/22/2019

The new material is worth re-watching this course. I had been away from React for a while and only intended on reviewing some basic material; but, I've been drawn in to watching all of the new sections. Really good material. I enjoy seeing file organization discussed during projects. I also really enjoy seeing the optional planning/designing stages of projects and am glad to see a lot of that optional material reviewed in other projects.

By Vignesh Ashokan on 12/30/2018

I previously started this course a few months back(legacy content). Although Stephan was a good teacher, I kept getting lost pretty often and had to the same sections multiple times. I think this was because of the way the course was structured. A lot of explanations were done quickly and the course moved a bit too fast for me to grab hold of the concepts. The 2019 edition is an amazingly structured course with visual explanations of concepts using flow diagrams. The tiny exercises towards the end of sections help in better summarization of the concepts. He uses simpler and smaller examples with elaborate explanations to ease into concepts. The projects at the end of React and Redux modules sum up all the concepts done in previous sections and clear most of the doubts that one might have had during the lectures. To sum it all up, I really enjoyed learning React with this course and Stephen, with his teaching style, has kept me engaged throught the course and has helped me understand the concepts clearly.

By Alejandra Rocha on 1/26/2018

Stephen created this course in such a way where you really learn and I am now updating my rating to a full five stars because he has come back and updated it a bit to really take the time to hone in an teach us about the redux state management system and other important topics in the world of React in an even better way than before. It is rare that a Udemy course that was published a couple of years ago actually improves and gets better with updates as only Stephen Grider can do. As far as I am concerned Steve is the number one instructor in all of Udemy.

By Calvin Colton on 6/20/2017

This is probably the fourth time I've retaken this course. When I was first learning React/Redux, I reviewed this course two times after taking it--it has been critical to building my foundation and knowledge of front-end web development. I decided to retake the course since it was updated. Even though I felt like I have a very strong understanding of React, I figured a refresher would be great. Stephen has done an excellent job updating videos with current trends, styling, and use cases, while still providing essential development patterns.

By Clique Eventhub on 1/16/2017

React has a lot of library. Even though we can ignore using any external library and write those ourselves, why reinventing the wheel? I have tried a lot of react course before. they does not give me much insight of how React works. Some are just "How to code" not understanding it. So sometimes, I just wrote something completely unnecessary. This course basically guide me to all of those confusion. I am glad I bought this course.

By Tanay Kommareddi on 4/2/2016

Stephen Grider's courses are probably some of the best ones on Udemy. His fluid narrative style and meticulous attention to detail on every concept is very easy to follow and understand. He constantly keeps his courses up to date. This course is no exception. He covers all aspects of React and Redux and then goes over the newer Hooks and Context systems. If you want to learn React, this is a must have in your toolbox. Enjoy!
