the course is awesome! but some dependencies are not up-to-date. there are many errors with dependencies in v6 when tries to follow the guides, so i can't follow to finish the course. I'd be nice if the course get updated. Also, the code files after each section for students to compare the codes.

only point to be improved, for me, is the react router dom update to v6.
... directly being managed in the , and for example slight differences like 'element props:<.../>' instead of 'component props' . cant wait to go further. good alternative, as forms are often been used in register/updateProfile Ux actions: take advantages of YUP + formik ! -

The app is impressive and worth the effort. If you're coding along you would get stuck if you're using newer package versions, so be sure to install only the versions that the author is using. You may find them listed in the package.json of the completed project. The code is pragmatic and straightforward, but it can be hard to understand the concepts if you're new to react as there aren't that many slides explaining the theory behind the code. One quick improvement I can add to the presentation is to avoid using words like "here" when referencing a file or a line in the code. When coding along it is easy to get lost so it would help if the author says out-loud the specific object or function they're referencing. Other than that and a few minor issues, it's a great course!
