Best order: Learn React (free) → Advanced React → Router → Interview prep. 8 weeks at 1–2 hrs/day. React is Scrimba's strongest topic with 16+ courses.

Who This Is For

Learners planning their React journey on Scrimba: those overwhelmed by course choices, or anyone wanting a structured week-by-week path.

React is Scrimba's strongest topic with 16+ courses and over 50 hours of content. It's widely considered one of the best interactive platforms to learn React because you fix code directly in the video player. However, with so many courses, it can be confusing to know which order to take them in. This guide maps out the optimal path to go from "Hello World" to "Hired".

Best Free Scrimba Courses in 2026 (And the Ones That Are Dated)

Scrimba has roughly 17 fully free courses you can take without a subscription, and they range from genuinely excellent (Bob Ziroll's 15-hour Learn React is still the best free React course I know of) to noticeably dated. This is the catalog-reviewer's honest take: which ones to start with, which ones to skip, and what they cost in time.

Quick answer: Start with Learn React (15.1 hrs, Bob Ziroll) or Learn JavaScript (9.4 hrs, Per Borgen). They're the two strongest free courses on the platform and they're current. Avoid the Bootstrap 4 course (CSS practice has moved on) and treat the Space Travel Website and Imba courses as curiosities, not learning paths.

Last reviewed: May 2026. Free course availability changes. Verify on the Scrimba course catalog.

Who this is for

Anyone trying Scrimba without paying: budget-conscious learners, people who want to validate the format before subscribing, students supplementing The Odin Project or freeCodeCamp.
