About Epic React by Kent C Dodds

Epic React is a self-paced, code-first, hands-on React training program created by Kent C. Dodds, a veteran instructor who has taught React to over 30,000 professional web developers. The course is fully updated for React 19 and covers the latest paradigm shifts including React Suspense and Transitions, Form and Server Actions, and the 'use client'/'use server' directives. It also dives into new hooks (useOptimistic, useActionState, useFormStatus, use()), the React Compiler, Automatic Memoization, Concurrent Rendering, Streaming, and Improved Hydration. Unlike typical tutorials that rush to the final result, Epic React emphasizes mastery of fundamentals—planning, designing, debugging, and maintaining—to build true confidence and expertise.
