Describe your suggestion

Class Based Components lesson, Additional resources points to old Thinking in React document which does not contain information about Class Based Components eventhough lesson indicates:

"In general, the React documentation on thinking in react is a really good place to look into, if you want more practice with class-based components, from scratch."

More appropriate Doc would be State and Lifecycle from the Old React Docs.
Also replace the text to indicate they are legacy documents for clarity:

"In general, the legacy React documentation on State and Lifecycle is a really good place to look into, if you want more practice with class-based components, from scratch."

Also it seems the new Thinking in React do not contain information about Class based components. Please review the suggested article and if not appropriate please suggest a different doc/article.

Thanks @1Amal. The currently linked doc is their legacy docs and it looks like they've gotten rid of the codesandboxes that used to showcase class components in context. Of course, the legacy docs were what we wanted for this lesson precisely because we're exposing class components instead of function components, which is what the current version of the docs page would use.

In all honesty, instead of finding a replacement resource, I'm happy for this additional resource to be removed entirely, and the default "no additional resources" placeholder put back instead. The state/lifecycle resource you linked won't be necessary since the current version of that (which does use class components) is assigned in the Lifecycle Methods lesson after.

I'll assign this to you to remove.
