Book Description

Hit the ground running with React, the open-source technology from Facebook for building rich web applications fast. With the second edition of this practical guide, Stoyan Stefanov—designer of the YSlow 2.0 performance tool—shows you how to build React components and organize them into maintainable, large-scale apps. If you’re familiar with basic JavaScript syntax, you’re ready to get started.

Through the course of the book, web developers and programmers will build a complete custom app that lets you store data on the client. You’ll quickly learn why some developers consider React the key to the web app development puzzle.
