What you will learn

In "The Road to React" you will learn about all the fundamentals of React.js with Hooks while building a full-blown React application step by step. Every chapter will introduce you to a new React key feature while you create the React application. The book also delves into related topics (e.g. React with TypeScript, Testing, Performance Optimizations) and advanced feature implementations like client- and server-side searching. By the end of the book, you will have a fully working deployed React application.

Is it up to date?

I am a beginner. Is this book for me?

Yes. The book starts from zero and takes you through the learning experience step by step. Every chapter builds upon the learnings from the previous chapter. Additionally, exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce your learnings. If you get stuck in a chapter, there is always a reference URL to the latest code.
