Book Description

React helps you work smarter, not harder ― but to reap the benefits of this popular JavaScript library and its components, you need a straightforward guide that will teach you how to make the most of it.

The book is split into three parts; the first will teach you the fundamentals of React patterns, the second will dive into how React works, and the third will focus on real-world applications. All the code samples are updated to the latest version of React and you’ll also find plenty of new additions that explore React 18 and Node 19’s newest features, alongside MonoRepo Architecture and a dedicated chapter on TypeScript.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to efficiently build and deploy real-world React web applications.
