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.

I’m pretty much almost done reading the book so far and I can tell you that it’s been great. The book has a very good view on the modern state of React, especially V18. It goes deep into details about everything that you would use in your React project like routing, modularizing, etc.. and it also goes into deeper topic such as server side rendering.My only wish is that the book could have a section that talks about state management libraries that you could use like Redux.Overall, I think this book is a great way to learn React if you are a either a beginner or those who has knowledge in React already.

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.

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.
