React is a JavaScript library developed for one main reason — to let you build reusable UI components in a scalable and developer-friendly manner.
React (sometimes styled React.js or ReactJS) is an open-source JavaScript library providing a view for data rendered as HTML, but much more powerful.
React components are typically written in JSX (Programming language), a JavaScript extension syntax allowing easy quoting of HTML and using HTML tag syntax to render subcomponents.
With the advent of Node.js, JavaScript has become a compelling “server-side” language as well, which was traditionally the domain of languages like Java, Python and PHP.
Development process in which the smallest testable parts of an application, called units, are individually and independently scrutinized for proper operation.
Build native iOS and Android apps with JavaScript effortlessly while enjoying live reloading and ability to re-use code accross platforms.
Reusable components: how to create and use them. Best practices such as smart and dumb components.
React Quickly is more than a book. It's an online course which immerses readers in the world of JSX, states, properties, components, testing, isomorphic JavaScript, ES6, React Native mobile development and many other topics. Azat Mardan published 13 books and taught over 20 live in-person courses so he knows what works and what know when it comes to technical educatioin.
Each chapter has many small examples and one large project. You can watch the screencasts for the projects for free on YouTube and download the code from GitHub.
