My own React tutorial! Feedback needed

Hello Dev.to!

I once heard something like "If you can explain it simple enough it means you really know the subject". I have been studying Front-End for a couple of months and I wanted to check if I really know how to use React, so I wrote a small tutorial.

The catch is that I'm very sure there are a lot of things missing in the tutorial and as it is the first time I write something like this I need feedback from everyone, from junior (did you understand?) to senior (did I forgot to add something?).

So here it is. Feel free to comment here or making a pull request to change the tutorial, it'll be much appreciated.

Are you an impatient student like me? This is the React tutorial for you.

Disclaimer: This was made with the combined knowledge I acquired from many tutorials, articles and videos. Not all the images I use are of my autorship.

Before we start...

I’m writing this because of two reasons:

1. The first is to ensure I know React so well that I can write a tutorial.
2. I consider most tutorials to be very slow and I like going fast and straight to action, so here you will see little…

Hey Lucas, great tutorial. I really like the fast pace.

It achieves what is promised, a fast introduction to React, it`s really clear and well written.

Maybe you could progress to more complex cases, such as the advantages and disadvantages of the multiple styling options available, or use cases for Class vs Function components.

Overall, great tutorial, thanks.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm currently looking forward to add more content but wasn't sure of what to add. Thanks again!
