Learn To Code With AI
From Planning To Production
Learn an AI-first workflow to plan, build, test, and deploy — from "vibe coding" prototypes
to structured, production ready systems that allow you to build at 10x speed.
Traversy Media’s Students Work at these Companies
What You’ll Learn
Use AI as a high level collaborator. Leveraging custom subagents, context files, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to automate the boilerplate while you focus on architecture and maintainable code
Prompting is easy. Building production software is hard. This course bridges that gap. We’re moving beyond simple chat interfaces into a professional AI-first workflow using tools like MCP and custom subagents.
We’ll build DevStash: a full scale app with Prisma, Stripe, and Cloudflare to show you how to automate the boring stuff without losing control of your code. Stop  fighting with your tools and start shipping . You'll leave this course with a real world workflow for building and deploying apps 10x faster than you could a year ago.

Brad cuts through a lot of the hype you hear on social media. His advice is practical and realistic. And I agree with him on pretty much everything he recommends you learn.

My journey began as a self-taught programmer and led me to become a professional web developer at Agora — all thanks to Brad. I’m proud to say I’m a graduate of Traversy Media.

I like how he did the useContext and useReducer. i finally understood it because of the Github Finder project.
I've had a chance to compare Brad's course, and a similar React Course from a different Instructor that had a slightly higher rating. The 2nd course that I recently started has so far been disappointing. I feel that Brad's React Course is presented the right way, and he focuses a lot on React Components and Props. This is probably the reason why I went through his course 4 times already.
Exactly what I wanted to learn, clear thru the end of the course. I'm a career statistician and want to build my own data-driven websites. I'm self-taught (on front end, back end, databases, react) but I could never get the whole stack wired together properly and deployed. Now I finally understand how to put it all together! Thank you!
As always Brad Traversy is the highest quality teacher. If you want to get solid skills with React this course is the one to buy.
Prior to taking this course I had been battling to understand Reactjs , so I mainly used vanilla JS for frontend. It was fun but too much work for a big project. This course made me love & understand the need for a frontend framework , money well spent.
One of the best on React JS. It has clear concepts like hooks, context API, react-redux, and also how to structure your application and there are many more things. I will suggest to buy it and to watch it.
This is my third course by Brad which speaks for itself. He's very clear and the course is extremely practical. If you have done the Modern JS course before then I highly recommend you take this one, a great step up.
I just finished this course, I am very happy with it. I learned a lot about React and an added bonus of APIs. I had no idea what was going on in the beginning but now I feel confident I can actually implement these skills in future projects. Thanks Brad!

This man is simply amazing... Very well paced, thoroughly explains concepts without being redundant. Best React course i've found online by far. Also purchased his MERN stack and Node API Masterclass with / Express / Mongo to complement what im currently learning.
Remembering the days that I took this course and others to improve my development skills. Now I have a $144k/year Front-End Engineering job for an alphabet funded company.
Great course, I liked how I learned mongo db, express, react and node. There are 50 hour courses out there that only teach you one thing and they are overwhelming and don't focus on the fundamentals. With what I learned from Brad I feel ready to start building my own full stack applications.
Brad does an incredible job of explaining all the topics. It's almost laughable how at the beginning of every course I feel like a complete noob and by the end I'm infinitely more confident. This was the case for all 3 of the courses that I bought from Brad. If you are considering learning React and have already learned the HTML/CSS and JavaScript fundamentals then look no further because this is the course you need to buy. Using these skills I am ready to move on and create my own projects now. I am an upcoming college sophomore and Brad's courses allowed me to get way ahead of the game.
Brad is a great instructor. He teaches in a way that catered to me as a complete beginner learning React and MERN tech. I struggled with the pace of other React courses. This is the first course where everything seems to click. I highly recommend it.
When I started this React course I wasn't sure I liked React at all. I was taught a few things from another course (Not one from Brad) but not enough to do what I wanted a project to do. And now it's growing on me thanks to Brad and I have been taught a lot of things from this course that I was trying to figure out how to do on my own but was just having a very hard time with. Now with what I was taught from this course I feel like I can take the knowledge I was taught and finish the project I was working on the way I want it to be.
Brad is seriously the best and the way he teaches is spot on. Easy to understand, easy to follow with, easy to implement. Anything else you would need are in the docs anyway but the teaching here is golden. By far the best course I've purchased thus far (and I have tons).
As a Computer Science Student I have been really happy to follow this course as a supplement to my classes. (This might even be better - please don't tell my teachers!) If you wanna learn React... This is the course!

A message from the Traversy Team
Believe it or not, both Brad and Dennis put their foot in the door of the tech space without a CS degree. Brad, who openly shares the story of his rough past and Dennis, who dropped out of college, both started their own freelancing web businesses. After many years of learning, growing, sharing and changing lives with their videos; they came to the realization that joining forces can make an even greater impact as they are both known for their easy to follow, project based tutorials.
Traversy Media has now become an e-learning brand name, no longer a one man team. Brad and Dennis both get flooded with DMs and emails requesting new learning content or updating old ones. It’s a lot to keep up with and after many years of tireless work, both have reached burnout in their own ways. Brad and Dennis, with the help of guest educators, are working as a team on new courses, free crash courses and updating old courses. All to get you the best, up-to-date and easy to understand content so you can run with the knowledge and make your own impact.
We also want you know that we’ve been there. We’ve racked our brains for days over bugs or breaking through a new language or framework before finally seeing a breakthrough. Many of you have and still study all night while everyone is sound asleep and you’re up with only the comfort of a computer light, music and your favorite drink to keep you up because you’re either too excited or desperate for a better life to sleep. You see, that’s something all us engineers have in common, no matter our background or education. We share the need to learn, solve and ship. No matter the level of difficulty, we have the desire to take something apart and figure it out. If you’re reading this, you have that innate talent of what it takes to be a developer.If you’re reading this, you have that innate talent of what it takes to be a developer. 🚀And don’t confuse this with natural genius as many do and begin to shy away from becoming the developers they could be (because that’s a rare and small community). What it really takes is your willingness to not give up, practice and stay consistent.

Common questions about learning to code with AI and building DevStash 👇
This course teaches AI-assisted development, not AI replacement. You'll learn to code first and use AI as a force multiplier. The course emphasizes understanding what you're building, reviewing AI-generated code, and making informed decisions. AI helps you work faster and learn more efficiently, but you'll develop real skills you can use independently.
