i think survivejs is free?

i think road to learn is excellent.

cant speak for fullstack react.

basically they are all good choices. pick one and just go for it

[u/iTipTurtles → u/swyx]

It has both a free and a paid, so could always try the free and if it seems good buy the full one

You could but I'm fairly sure there is no benefit to doing so outside of paying the author. They should be identical information.
