I have worked with React.js for more than 5 years, I decided to buy this book to refresh my knowledge of the latest best practices.And I must say, the book exceeded my expectations. I quickly came up to speed with unfamiliar concepts, and was then able to refactor/improve my own sets of code, all while gaining a better understanding of React.js from the inside out thanks to chapters 9, 10 and 11.I know Maximilian has a deep knowledge of React having followed his online courses and this book just confirmed how great he is as a Teacher.I definitely recommend this book.

In retrospect, I feel immensely thankful to have discovered Maximilian Schwarzmüller, the author of this book, during the early stage when I just embarked on my career as a developer. Specifically, I took his 100 Days of Code - Web Development Bootcamp on Udemy and, upon completing the course, was able to develop a full-stack web application that had all the functions a standard web app should have, complete with satisfying UI/UX created with the CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap knowledge he provided. Maximilian also introduced just enough advanced concepts to ensure that learners not only knew the how, but also the what and why behind the scenes, a crucial aspect of becoming a good web developer.Maximilian also has another online course, React: The Complete Guide, which a friend of mine completed last year. With the knowledge gained from that course alone, my friend secured a frontend developer job requiring React skills and has worked in that position for over six months. This is a testament to the quality of the author and his resources.Now, let's discuss the book itself, focusing on both its form and content.Form:You may be wondering why someone would choose a book over an online video course. As it turns out, our brains process abstract and image content in different regions, which makes it challenging for the brain to achieve high concurrency. This task-switching burden reduces learning efficiency and hinders a learner's ability to digest, ponder, and reflect on the knowledge they have gained. While it's possible to pause, slow down, or speed up a video to accommodate one's pace, it can also be a significant distraction when attempting to understand difficult content. In contrast, a book allows you to ruminate and brainstorm as you learn, connecting the new information with your existing knowledge and forming new synapses. Additionally, a book is a useful reference tool, easy to consult when revisiting a concept or checking certain information. This convenience is not possible with a video course unless you create your own notes with good indexing (which I recommend using the Obsidian app for).Content:Maximilian's book is an outstanding resource for anyone interested in learning the basics of React. The content is well-structured and easy to follow, even if you have very little experience with React (although, as the author clearly states, some fundamental knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is necessary). For every concept introduced in React, there are code snippet examples that make it feel like someone is holding your hand and guiding you step by step to proficiency. You can experiment and amend the codes the book provides on your own IDE to gain a deeper understanding through hands-on experience. For more advanced learners, there are additional resources available, such as links to other articles for those who want to delve deeper into the topic. Maximilian also provides insight into the mechanisms of React working behind the scenes of the codes, so you can continue to learn even if you already have some experience with React.Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn React. Maximilian has done an excellent job presenting the material in a clear and accessible way, and you can easily apply the knowledge you gain to real-life projects.

This react book helped me learn the ins and outs of react that I did not learn from tutorials on the internet. I found chapter 9: Behind the Scenes of React and Optimization Opportunities, to be useful as It filled in the gaps of my react knowledge, especially as a beginner who needs to refresh my knowledge often. I find this book to be helpful to my needs because I am graduating college this year and I think this book will help out in an entry level developer job. The book is well put together and is easy to follow along. I would recommend this book to anyone starting out with react.

The writer has extensive teaching experience, with extensive course content on platforms such as Udemy.In this book he demonstrates his ability to transmit his knowledge, explaining in detail each topic of React.The book is a book with interesting topics, suitable for someone who is just starting with React, as well as for an experienced developer who needs to reinforce his knowledge. Max explains in detail the concepts and accompanies them with very good code examples where you can better understand the theory.A great book to have at your fingertips and to be able to consult your doubts on a daily basis.

I had the opportunity to dive into React Key Concepts, and I must say, it's a great book whether you're a React beginner, or a seasoned developer! What I really appreciated about this book is its well-structured and concise approach to the fundamentals of React. It starts with a clear introduction to React and JSX, and then it jumps straight into the meat of React with components, props, events, and state. This is followed by more advanced topics such as custom hooks and React Router, which are essential skills for building complex React apps.The practical exercises are where this book really shines! They offer the perfect mix of challenge and guidance, allowing me to apply what I've learned in a hands-on way. The pacing of the book is also commendable, with a quick-paced overview that doesn't drag on too long.One thing to note is that the book leans more towards React-specific concepts rather than JavaScript foundations, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're new to JavaScript, it's best to pair this book with an introductory text on JS, so you're well-versed in the language before diving into React's nitty-gritty.React Key Concepts is an expertly written and comprehensive book, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in learning or improving their knowledge of React or frontend development in general. Overall, a great source of information and a worthwhile investment in your React skills.
