React and React Native: A complete hands-on guide to modern web and mobile development with React.js, 3rd Edition 3rd ed. Edition

I have books in my library older than most of the people I work with, maybe 200+ at this point and I would put this among the top 10 for content. Great book if you're looking to get into React and/or React Native and the follow-along code samples actually work - big kudos!

The packing was ok, but the carrier seems like didn't have care with it

Could you have spent more time discussing how to set up development tools and options.

When I started programming with React, I just jumped right in. And then I had to backtrack to figure out where I went wrong. It seems simple, but it is not really that easy. This book starts slowly and introduces a reader to how React works including how to use React hooks and how to create reusable components.Almost half the book is devoted to React Native, and shows how to build a cross-platform app using Expo. This is useful to me right now, because I thought React Native would be the same as using React and it is not. So this section points out the differences, so you are ready for that.The final part of the book covers React architecture. It shows you how to build your own React Native Components using NativeBase, how to use Redux for more robust state control, and how to use Apollo to retrieve data in GraphQL format.

Pretty easy read, straight to the point, easy to code examples. I needed help with ES-6 and Hooks. Although, this covers these concepts, it doesn't go into depth of them. This is a great resource for a first day beginner. I don't regret buying it, but after reading it, it was not for me.

Just what I was looking for. Though React may look simple it has a lot of moving parts. The authors have done a great job of maintaining a fine balance between theoretical and practical content. The only book I could find that teaches in detail both web and mobile development with React.

If your goal is to learn React and React native, look nowhere else, this is it. I've read every book I can find on React and this is by far the best one you''ll find.

without installation instructions none of the code will work, it is not a good book for a person that does not know react to start with and its installation process. go to reactjs.org for installation instructions
