Ask HN: Best modern resources for mastering React best practices in 2025?

1 Varelion 0 6/10/2025, 6:46:46 PM

I've been working with React for a while but mostly on legacy class-based codebases. I'm transitioning into more modern React (hooks, server components, concurrent rendering, etc.) and want to level up my understanding.

There are so many tutorials and courses out there, but many seem outdated or contradict each other—I am specially weary of Udemy, where it seems to me courses are given trivial 'updates' to rank highly on their algorithm, but the bulk of content remains dated. I'm looking for resources (articles, courses, repos, or even books) that focus on:

- Idiomatic use of hooks - Component architecture and maintainability - Performance best practices - Patterns used in production-scale apps - What's considered "good style" in the React community in 2025

Bonus points for resources that come from experienced engineers or teams using React at scale.
