Pros

Cons

    • Very few free video series have interactive projects like this course. It creates a unique hands-on learning experience with a reviewable web lecture series.
    • Every video comes with a complete transcript. If anything is difficult to understand audibly, it can be read in text.
    • Videos only can be accessed for free. Payment is only necessary to download the files for the full interactive experience.
    • Downloadable files are only available to Egghead members. The course cannot be purchased individually.
    • There is no instructor interaction. The most recent comment in the course was posted in 2018.
    • The lack of direct interaction can leave users stuck if they have software or download problems.

Video quality and contents are awesome. I enjoyed it. Only issue was the speed of the tutorial. The speed was too fast some time I have to pause the video to understand the context and the logic.

This is an excellent course. Clear, concise and the tutor actually has a good understanding of pedagogical principles.

egghead.io also has a large amount of free react courses - in the format I like screencasts to be...very fast and concise.

Kent C Dodds does as well, https://egghead.io/courses/the-beginner-s-guide-to-reactjs and he goes further into some advanced concepts if you continue reading his blog and watching his other courses--personally he's somebody I agree a lot with, and he does a very good job of presenting the arguments in favor of the ideas.

This is the best free course hands down on React of all the one's here. From the awesome people at egghead. :)
