React and React Native: Build cross-platform JavaScript applications with native power for the web, desktop, and mobile

Being new to React but not to other technologies I was able to appreciate how this book was written, if you are looking to get up to speed on React this book is great and also priced well compared to some other books I was looking at

The book looked very good and everything! It was the correct book for my classes and everything. Exactly what came in with the ISBN. Just ended up never using it so it is now collecting dust.

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.

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.

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.

This book helped me tremendously! It covers everything you need to know about React and building cross-platform JavaScript applications. I highly recommend giving this book a try if you're interested in learning more about this subject.

Before getting this book, I already had some exposure React, but haven't used it in awhile and was interested in learning React Native to build mobile apps.The book covers all the tools you'll need to build a professional frontend application such as JSX, components, hooks, and GraphQL. You will need a decent grasp of JavaScript.It's easy to find free React/React Native guides online, but this book's value comes from its use of examples and how the concepts are explained.The authors cover optimization, performance, and creating reusable components. Those are all important lessons for working on large professional projects.

I am a Bootcamp student that uses React and this book has been a great aid in helping me go through it and the book's information is made in excellent detail. Highly recommend!

The book doesnt show how to install the tools you need. It doesnt show how to configure them. It doesnt show how to run the examples. You have tô know how to do it. But if you know, you dont need the book.

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 experienceI 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.

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.
