Learning Methods

The new React docs are even better than the original, and that quality explains why they remain the best way to learn React.

But more and more, instead of consulting documentation directly, developers rely on AI tools to interface with it, a situation that is already having unintended impacts on some projects.

Courses & Training Material

Despite larger entities like Udemy and Frontend Masters (who is a sponsor of this survey) topping the rankings, it's nice to see that individual teachers such as Wes Bos and Josh Comeau (with The Joy of React) can still make their mark.
