Pro React is the book I wish I had when I first started learning React/JS.
Cassio does a fantastic job at introducing and explaining some of the key React concepts that took me digging through tons of blog posts to learn.
I highly recommend picking this book up.
I have read a lot of software books, and this is one of the best. React comes in lots of little bits, which makes difficult to understand the whole system. The book did cover all of the steps but it also has sections on architecture, strategies and best practices. It is a really comprehensive resource.
This is an outstanding dive into React.
The coverage of each topic is very well designed:
He initially makes a simple example, just to show the underlying concept bereft of any un-needed complexity, and then follows it up with a much more complex and realistic scenario.
Dozens of code samples
Plus a full featured kanban style app built throughout the book
Take a look at the source code at the book's page.
