Book Description

Welcome to your big-picture guide to the React ecosystem.

If you’re new to React and looking to become a professional React developer, this book is for you. This updated fifth edition reflects the current state of React, including React framework coverage as well as TypeScript.

Part 1 introduces you to React. You’ll discover JSX syntax, hooks, functional components, and event handling, learn techniques to fetch data from a server, and tackle the tricky problem of state management. Once you’re comfortable with writing React in JavaScript, you’ll pick up TypeScript development in later chapters.

Part 2 transitions you into React Native for mobile development. React Native goes hand-in-hand with React. With your React knowledge behind you, you’ll appreciate where and how React Native differs as you write shared components for Android and iOS apps. You’ll learn how to build responsive layouts, use animations, and implement geolocation.

By the end of this book, you’ll have a big-picture view of React and React Native and be able to build applications with both.

What you will learn

  • Explore React architecture, component properties, state, and context
  • Work with React Hooks for handling functions and components
  • Fetch data from a server using the Fetch API, GraphQL, and WebSockets
  • Dive into internal and external state management strategies
  • Build robust user interfaces (UIs) for mobile and desktop apps using Material-UI
  • Perform unit testing for your components with Vitest and mocking
  • Manage app performance with server-side rendering, lazy components, and Suspense

From Web to Mobile: Your Your React and React Native Power-Up

The first part of the book, React, gets you up to speed with the tools and concepts that power modern web apps. You’ll learn how to build sleek, high-performance interfaces—and with brand-new chapters on TypeScript, unit testing, and React frameworks, you’ll sharpen your skills for real-world, scalable development.

Then in the second part, React Native, we take things mobile. You’ll dive into the core APIs and explore tried-and-true approaches for crafting fast, reliable apps that feel at home on both iOS and Android. It’s everything you need to go from web wizard to mobile maestro.

We asked the author: What does a React developer need to know in 2024 and how does this book help?​

“In 2024, an aspiring React developer should focus on mastering key skills and concepts such as a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, familiarity with ES6+ syntax and features, React core concepts and the lifecycle. It is also important for readers to have an understanding of hooks, state management, routing, form handling and validation, testing, and performance optimization techniques.

Additionally, exploring popular libraries, tools, and frameworks in the React ecosystem, such as Next.js, Remix, Material-UI, and Tailwind can further enhance a developer's skillset. Staying updated with the latest trends and advancements in the React world, such as concurrent mode and React Server Components can give aspiring developers an edge in the industry.

In this edition, using TypeScript in code examples, I have built on the great work that the original author Adam Boduch and former co-author Roy Derks have done so far in showing you the most important aspects of React development to get you started in the React ecosystem.”​

    5.0 out of 5 stars A gradual yet comprehensive path to becoming a React developer
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    The authors really impressed me, who is not a Web developer, with how React is introduced and taught.
    I am now itching to create a toy project and then something useful for work.
    Firstly, why I thought of React when we have so many Web Frameworks? A spoiler alert: I learned from this book React is not a Web Framework per-se). Anyway, in my view, most of the Web Frameworks are opinionated. I do not think this is a good property. I value flexibility and the ability to do things the way I am comfortable with or however I see them fit. React is exactly that jewel in the crown: a modern User Interface framework (UI) that has no limits. Its one other excellent design decision is in that it has abandoned the imperative programming approach (learnt from the book), which is highly suitable for fluid UIs.
    The book is actually like a two in-one bundle: the React and React Native. There is some overlap in material coverage, but it is necessary because it stems from how the React / React Native is targeting discrete platforms.
    I think JSX is the core of React so the authors made a special effort to cover it from the bottom up very nicely. A big plus, because it is like laying a sound foundation to getting developing a solid Web App.
    Next, the Hooks, this is an exiting, relatively new and interesting concept that is well implemented in React and explained in the book. I fell in love in programming this way, Hooks are an elegant feature!
    And React has more neat and useful design points as code separation, built-in state management/ memoization - everything is explained in the book really well.
    So not to delay, embrace React and React Native!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024

    I recently had the chance to go thru the book and it enriched the extend of my understanding of React: and that's something I love because I believe firmly that getting better in the fundamentals allows you to face better the more complex issues.
    What sets this book apart is its adept approach to introducing new concepts. It meticulously navigates through evolutive changes, elucidating each new theme while candidly presenting the merits and demerits of various decisions. After all, every decision comes with its own set of pros and cons.
    And for the part of React Native: I've never work on that and the author was able to engage me in a very natural way. It gives you all the basics to start and create a solid native app that is not naive in its design.

    Great book, and great job by the author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Resource for React and React Native Developers
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025
    As the technical reviewer for this book, I found its content to be exceptionally valuable. The chapters provided clear, practical insights—particularly in understanding how Vite functions in project setup, which proved instrumental in standardizing the frontend development workflow at my current company.

    The book also strengthened my ability to teach key concepts in React Native, enhancing the way I explain these topics to students. Its coverage of both foundational and advanced topics makes it a vital resource for developers at any stage of their React or React Native journey.

    Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this book offers essential knowledge that can positively impact your development skills and career growth.

    Ottimo manuale su *tutto* l’ecosistema React: il libro è pensato per chi non ha alcuna conoscenza di React, e tratta la pressoché totale lista di argomenti al riguardo – non mi sembra manchi davvero nulla! (Hooks, Event Handling, JSX, State Management, SSR, Unit Test, giusto per citarni alcuni...)

    E’ doppiamente utile: nella prima parte viene illustrato React, quindi vengono affrontate tutte le nozioni per poter creare applicazioni Web con questa libreria. Nella seconda parte invece si parla di React Native: tutto ciò che serve per poter creare app mobile e desktop. ✅

    Il vantaggio effettivo è che le due librerie (React e React Native) sono illustrate in maniera coerente, seguendo un filo logico; pertanto, c’è consistenza tra le due parti: i concetti illustrati sono coerenti con quanto indicato precedentemente, gli autori vanno dritti al punto e tutto viene spiegato per gradi, in maniera chiara, non si corre quindi il rischio di approdare ad un argomento e sentirsi “spaesati”.
    Il libro mi sembra piuttosto in linea, per quanto concerne la qualità degli argomenti e il rigore nell’esposizione, con la manualistica tech pubblicata dalla stessa casa editrice. 🔝

    Mi piace il fatto che con un solo libro si imparano contemporaneamente una delle più famose librerie UI per il Web e uno dei migliori framework per la creazione di app mobile multipiattaforma (iOS e Android)! 😎

    Avrei solamente aggiunto qualche capitolo conclusivo con magari qualche dritta, qualche consiglio, su come e dove approfondire o proseguire lo studio di React...

    In conclusione, decisamente utile. ⭐
