What We Liked
- This course provides a comprehensive, practical understanding of building a web app using React, Redux, and Firestore. It starts with the basics before diving into more advanced features.
- The course structure is well-organized, gradually increasing complexity as new concepts are introduced. This makes it easier to follow along and solidify your learning.
- Instructor Neil Crosby's teaching style is clear and thorough, with a healthy balance between theory and practice, and he explains each step in detail without rushing. This helps learners consolidate their knowledge as they progress through the course.
- Additional topics like Google Maps integration, photo uploading, and chat system implementation add real-world context to the learning experience.
Potential Drawbacks
- The course could benefit from more in-depth explanations of some concepts (e.g., database design and Redux usage). While covered, they may leave advanced learners wanting more detailed information.
- Some parts might seem repetitive for experienced developers with a solid understanding of React and Redux. The focus on Firestore integration may slow down those looking to hone specific skills.
- Debugging sessions throughout the course occasionally lack clarity, which can make it challenging to follow along when facing issues in your own projects. More precise guidance would improve problem-solving skills for learners.
- A few parts of the course appear outdated or require minor updates, possibly because they were not updated since 2025. This may lead to confusion with newer technologies and solutions.
