I started learning React few weeks earlier and still do not feel confident enough to apply for a job.
This week I studied JS more deeply and I am simply amazed by it.

Nice! I. Case you weren’t aware. Kent C. Dodds has a great free beginner React course on egghead.io, kentcdodds.com/blog/the-beginners-.... Also, another great free React resource is Frontend Armory. It used to be a paid subscription, but now it’s entirely free. Check out frontarm.com.
