React Developer Roadmap
Today, I'm going to share a React developer roadmap.
It's essential to follow a roadmap to establish learning objectives to make the learning path more effortless, starting by first learning the bases and fundamentals.
Most people who try to learn React don't follow a learning plan, so learning becomes complicated in the long term.
React Developer Roadmap in 6 Simple Steps
1. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals
You must ensure a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They are the pillars of web development.
2. Git version control system
You must learn to use Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. It's crucial for working with your code and collaborating within teams.
3. React fundamentals
The next step is understanding React's core concepts and learning to build simple UIs with React.
4. State management
Study various state management solutions like Zustand, Redux or MobX.
5. API interaction
Learn how to make API calls using tools like fetch or axios and React libraries to manage server states like React Query.
6. Testing
Testing is one of the critical skills often overlooked.
You must learn to do the 3 types of tests for your app:
- Unit testing: Jest
- Integration Testing: React Testing Library
- End-to-end testing: Cypress
Conclusion
If you want to become a React developer, I recommend this simple roadmap. In each step, there is a lot of knowledge to learn. You must spend enough time on each to master the knowledge needed to move on to the next step.
I highly recommend taking enough time on each one to master it. It will make a difference in the long run. You will build a good knowledge base, and you'll be able to develop higher-quality code more efficiently. In addition, you'll be able to learn new related knowledge much faster.

Have a great day!
sir, is class components still used by react js developers. can we learn class components or we can skip it?
Hi Sir, please I wanted to ask. Is Learning Algorithms and Data Structures as an Entry Level React Developer very important, because I see many people talk about it, and i feel i may fall behind probably talking with an experienced developer while he/she talks about computer science terminologies in Algorithms and data structures.
