Solid book for understanding modern React
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022
Format: Paperback
All around, a solid look at the current state of React in 2022. The book does a great job of introducing React to those who may be new to it, while also helping those who may be transitioning from Class based components to Pure Functional components. The scope of the book is excellent, covering not only the most common pattens you would use day-to-day, but also gets into some deeper topics such as SSR (server side rendering) and Code Splitting in a meaningful way. I also really appreciate that it covers the current version of React (v.18), tackling topics such as State Transitions and Automatic Batching.

My critiques are more a style choice than anything. The book exclusively looks at JavaScript over TypeScript, likely to keep the book correctly sized. It also does not get into testing with tools like Jest, or state management libraries such as MobX or Redux. That said, the book covers React extremely well, which is exactly what it advertises.

All in all, this is a fantastic book to have on your desk to learn or as reference for modern React.

A Great Continuation From The 3rd Edition
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2022
Format: Paperback
I have the 3rd Edition as well as the 4th now and I can tell you that this book covers all the key points that the 3rd Edition had but for React 18. This book does not cover Redux at all (this is not a complaint, just an observation). When it comes to state management this book does so by using context. When picking up this book, the first section I went to was how to handle navigating different routes. This is because I learned that this had changed somewhat recently. This book is up to date on that as well.

I'm very much looking forward to dissecting this book further over the next several weeks for work. I would not consider myself a fast learner when it comes to the tech industry. Because of books like this, learning React is more attainable (I struggle with online docs).

One suggestion I would have for the next Edition is to add common interview questions per chapter placed just before each summary that would help developers as they prepare for coding interviews. Maybe a problem or two each chapter as well. Other than that a thumbs up!

A Great book for beginners to mid level developers
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2022
Format: Paperback
I was given an opportunity to read this book because I recently graduated from a Bootcamp. However, one of the authors contacted me directly and gave me a copy to read this book. I'm not being paid or requested to post five stars review but only an honest review.

This book is excellent and awesome to keep aside while working on React 18. It covers many topics on React, and it has helped me a lot in my programming. Many topics that this book covers have taught me to program better and cleaner code. As a current junior developer, I feel that this book is very well made and will reach many people. I personally have recommended this book to fellow students and friends who are wanting to get into React or looking to expand their knowledge of the library.

React 18 and still teaching class components?
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2023
Format: Paperback
I bought this book cause it was the latest 4th edition release at the time and I'm disappointed that the authors are using class components. It's also not great for beginners as it doesn't show you different ways to create a react project. I prefer Vite personally.
I would not buy this again, save your money and go for a book that teaches functional components.

Not Sure Why...
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2022
Format: Paperback
Overall, I think this was a good read and I really enjoyed the overall picture the author tried to instill with React. However, the biggest issue I have taken with this book, especially with its release in 2022, is that the authors are teaching the content still using class components.

Actually, nearly the entire book is written with class components, and class component syntax. This is frustrating as even the authors point out, there is no reason at all anymore to use a class component as their much heavier with preloaded information in comparison to its functional counterpart.

I would enjoy to see the 5th edition, when released, teach the content in functional component. I unfortunately made it half way, and decided to go another route with learning because of this. I found there to be no point learning a contemporary language with old syntax that afterwards, I'd have to essentially re-discover how to do all the concepts.

Great book for React
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2022
Format: Paperback
I’m pretty much almost done reading the book so far and I can tell you that it’s been great. The book has a very good view on the modern state of React, especially V18. It goes deep into details about everything that you would use in your React project like routing, modularizing, etc.. and it also goes into deeper topic such as server side rendering.

My only wish is that the book could have a section that talks about state management libraries that you could use like Redux.

Overall, I think this book is a great way to learn React if you are a either a beginner or those who has knowledge in React already.

Marvin Cathery
Great book for the aspiring developer
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2022
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

First off I would like to thank Amazon for this incredible delivery. I ordered at 5:30am and received the book the same day at 6pm. Unbeatable service.

Summary of my experience:
- HTML & CSS experience
- JavaScript experience
- Java experience
- SQL experience

I approached this book with my limited skill set and initially I thought it would be confusing, I have just started reading the book and have paused at page 70 to now focus on some practical learning.

So far, without any actual programming I have understood the concept of react and how it is the best tool for front end development. I have understood how components and functional components are created and how to create a level of separation between components that handle data vs handle UI/UX. I have understood how props are used and how to create userstates for a component. I am still confused at some points but I am sure some practical coding will help me resolve my outstanding questions.

Well done on creating an easy read and for providing links to further reading to each topic so I can further research the parts I am struggling to get my head around.

I will update my review periodically with my progress.

The existing renderToString method keeps working but is discouraged.
Reviewed in France on June 17, 2022
Format: KindleVerified Purchase
Talk about React-18 But about SSR, close to nothing explained and use of renderToString is done instead to speak about renderToPipeableStream.
Because of that, price should be down to half.
Please update this book and send me the update for free.
