This video needs to be updated. State and class components are outdated.

State is mostly invisible in React since 2018... should be using hooks instead. And class components have been supplanted by hooks and functional components, so this is really not a helpful tutorial. It's fine to still learn it but there should be an updated video to go over the new ways to do things.

Hi Brenton, thanks for the feedback. Could you provide a link to or a title for the course that you're referring to?

Also, it's worth keeping in mind that while React has moved away from classes and towards functions, it's still important to be familiar with both, as there remains a lot of React components out there in the wild that were created with classes.

And check out the React section of the Treehouse library for more React content that introduces hooks and is more focused on functions. :thumbsup:

Thanks, I didn't realize that comments aren't localized to the video. I believe it was the React basics workshop. As I have progressed I see that there are other workshops that talk about some of the newer features so that is helpful.
