Book Synopsis

If you have basic HTML/CSS and JavaScript skills and you want to learn React, this book is for you. It has been carefully crafted and streamlined so it won't waste any time on outdated skills. Instead, you will focus on the most current skills for developing React apps.

This book begins with a seven-chapter crash course that teaches the basics of React development. By the end of this course, you will know how to use JSX, props, state, and hooks to develop a React component that gets its data from a web API.

After the first seven chapters, the modular design of this book lets you jump to any other chapter to learn new skills as you need them. These skills include creating a single-page app (SPA), styling with CSS modules, styling with Tailwind, managing complex state, improving performance with memorization, validating props with TypeScript, unit testing with Jest, and server-side rendering (SSR) with Next.js.

Each chapter features clear examples, easy-to-understand explanations, best practices, and helpful tips. When you finish these chapters, you'll be able to use React to develop a web app in a way that's thoroughly professional.

Every Murach book guarantees high quality. The realistic examples show how each feature works in context, and the exercises at the end of each chapter let you gain valuable hands-on experience.
