Beginning ReactJS Foundations Building User Interfaces with ReactJS

INTRODUCTION

SINCE ITS CREATION BY FACEBOOK IN 2013, REACTJS  has become one of the most popular and widely used front-end user interface libraries on the web. With the creation of React Native in 2015, ReactJS has become one of the most widely used libraries for mobile app development as well.

ReactJS has always been a bit of a moving target. It has gone through several major changes over the years, but through it all, the core principles of React have remained the same.

If you want to learn to develop next-generation cross-platform web and mobile apps using the latest syntax and the latest tools, you've come to the right place. My goal with this book is to save you from the countless hours of trial and error that were my experience with trying to piece together bits of old and new information from the web and books.

Whether you're coming to React as a mobile developer, a web developer, or as any other kind of software developer, this book is for you. If you have experience with ReactJS as it existed in the earlier days (before about version 16), this book is for you too!

In this book, I've attempted not only to give the most up-to-date syntax and patterns for developing ReactJS applications, but also to give enough background and timeless information for it to remain relevant for years to come.

So, welcome to ReactJS.

WHY THIS BOOK?
