Book description
Get Started Fast Building Modern Web Applications Using React
As far as new web frameworks and libraries go, React is quite
the runaway success. It not only deals with the most common
problems developers face when building complex apps, it throws in a
few additional tricks that make building the visuals for such apps
much, much easier.
What React isn’t, though, is beginner-friendly and
approachable. Until now. In Learning React, author Kirupa
Chinnathambi brings his fresh, clear, and very personable writing
style to help you understand the fundamentals of React and how to
use it to build really performant (and awesome) apps.
