Basics of React (textbook, 2nd edition)

It took 2.5 years after the publication of the first version of the detailed tutorial on the basics of React. During this time, gitbook counted 250,000+ unique visitors.

Under the cat more about the textbook and the list of changes.

First is the text. With legacy.gitbook you can still download PDF / epub / mobi. I did not find this option in the new version and, unfortunately, the new version of gitbook does not work well without VPN.

Secondly - this is the same textbook sparingly for "water". Text, pictures, source code.

In the process of learning a simple scenario is described: news feed (from a json file) + the ability to add news. No flirting with the backend. Most of the development goes straight to index.html, and only at the end we get acquainted with create-react-app .

The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce React to those who are already familiar with html / css and have an idea of ​​the basics of js. The library is added as a regular script. It was convenient at the time of jQuery and I did not redo the training formula.

Where?

Download for offline or read online - legacy.gitbook
