The React's ecosystem is overwhelming for beginners. Ensure to learn each new tool isolatedly.

Said this, our first course in the React section covers all the React ecosystem. Face this as a general introduction to each topic that will be studied deeply in the following sections.

In the sections about React, Webpack, and ES2015+, the initial resources are more superficial and the last ones are going deeper in the respective topic. You can opt to learn the basics first and return to them later, but don't skip them without have a basic knowledge of the matter.

After you complete the Essential Path, you can choose one (or more) topics in the Optional Path. You do not need to go through this section in the same linear approach, you should choose new topics to learn based on your necessity and/or desire.
