  1. Fell in Love with the Book, Fell in Love with React
    I fell in love with this book and React, not sure what came first, but this is not my first book I have on React.This one is more for for quickly grasping on the React concept, at least was advertised so, well it seemed so, but actually it offers a lot more:- well done intro into React so you would understand its design principals- Master handling events and state – a have to and it is well covered, at least enough to make an SPA- Styling – who will accept a skeleton app only? It has it covered, too- Direct DOM access, I think many books do not explain it well, or do not spend enough time at. It is my personal fave. I encountered very much needed because often required- Optimization – yeah glad it was bought up. Do it at a later stages, but do it- Server Actions are also well doneSome items could improve as the chapter on React Router, for some reason I had a harder time to go around about, and custom hooks, it is just too novel for me or a tad of a foreign concept to me.Anyways, every framework has its own hard and shiny points, I will not be too harsh on the excellent author.I did like the material.

    I’ve got the chance to read this book from an Advanced Reader’s Copy shared with me by the Publisher.It is a great resource to complement your learning journey in building modern web apps.This book will teach you every essential concept in React.Highly important topics are covered in details, such as:- Components and JSX- Passing and consuming props for reusability- Building interactive UIs with Events, State and Hooks- Lists Rendering and displaying conditional content- Styling React with CSS and styling libraries- Accessing DOM values with refs- Building SPA using React Router- Form Actions to handle user input- Handling complex state- Best practices and optimizations in ReactOne of the most important topics that is covered in detail is the side effects.Tasks such as calling external APIs, accessing browser storage, and other similar tasks are considered side effects and should be handled correctly to avoid issues with React’s component rendering lifecycle.Another equally important topic, Context API – a modern way to pass props deeply into components, is also covered extensivelyBoth of these topics have been my favourite read on this amazing book.The author even goes beyond the frontend, and taps into building full stack web applications by using the popular Next.js: A powerful react-based framework to allow you build server-side rendered react apps.The book has recently been released with the announcement of the latest version of React 19, so you don’t need to worry about missing learning the new features as well.Recent features including use() hook, form actions, and how to think about React on the server, are all covered.The book is full of screenshots and code snippets to better simplify your learning experience.Also I really like how there are exercises and quizzes by the end of each chapter, this can massively boost your learning experience and a perfect opportunity to test your knowledge.Always keep in mind that the more you implement and write code by yourself, the better skilled and confident you will become.This is a highly recommended read.Don’t miss the chance to master React from one of the best React instructors.

  7. Maximilian Schwarzmüller non ha bisogno di presentazioni: il suo videocorso su React è probabilmente il più famoso e conosciuto nel settore.Avevo sempre sperato in una versione cartacea del suo lavoro e quando finalmente ha annunciato la pubblicazione di questo libro ho immaginato che avrebbe riversato la sua bravura nello spiegare i concetti e la sua competenza tecnica anche nel testo scritto, e così è effettivamente stato.Il libro è scritto in modo chiaro e, anche se approfondito, con linguaggio semplice e accessibile (chi conosce l’autore penso sappia a cosa mi riferisco).Anche perchè conoscere bene un argomento tecnico ed essere in grado di trasmetterlo, di saperlo spiegare bene, sono due cose ben distinte, e personalmente ritengo che in questo testo si siano raggiunti entrambi gli obiettivi.✅ A chi è rivolto il libro?Anche se Maximilian stesso lo consiglia a chi possiede già delle conoscenze base di React, penso che si adatti benissimo ugualmente sia ai principianti che agli sviluppatori più esperti, al massimo è necessaria una infarinatura di base di React e dei concetti principali.Io personalmente ho delle conoscenze veramente minime di questo framework e comunque riesco a seguire il libro decisamente bene. E’ necessario però avere già delle basi di HTML, CSS e Javascript (questi non sono trattati nel libro).Inoltre, e questa è una novità interessante e ben accetta, insieme al libro vengono forniti dei link a dei cheatsheet sommari per ogni capitolo e a dei video dell’autore stesso.✅ Che argomenti sono trattati?Il libro è super aggiornato, tratta React 19 (Maximilian stesso in un video su YT ha ribadito che l’uscita del libro è stata rimandata più volte fino a quando non è stato rilasciato ufficialmente React 19, in modo che tutti i contenuti del libro fossero corretti e aggiornatissimi), e c’è praticamente di tutto:component, props, event e state, styling, hooks, server-side rendering, suspense, Next.js.Insomma, tutti ciò che serve nel 99% dei progetti viene spiegato bene.✅ C’è tanta teoria, ma anche la pratica.I concetti teorici dopo un po’ potrebbero annoiare, per cui alla fine di ogni capitolo vengono proposte delle Activity, dei piccoli progetti davvero molto appassionanti, per mettere in pratica concretamente quanto appreso sino ad allora(da questi si possono ricavare davvero tanti spunti per i propri di progetti…).🟥 C’è qualcosa che non mi è piaciuto? … Mmm no…In conclusione, per come il libro è strutturato, per come gli argomenti vengono illustrati con spiegazioni dettagliate e accompagnati da esempi pratici, per la presenza di progetti concreti da creare, di takeaway concettuali e di domande per testare la propria conoscenza, questo libro è sicuramente uno dei migliori se si vuole imparare in profondità ed eccellere in React.Che si parta dalle basi o si voglia fare un update delle nuove funzionalità di React, questo libro è perfetto. 👍

  8. Compré el libro como complemento al curso de Maximiliano en Udemy, que es garantía de calidad de contenido. Utilizaré el texto como referencia de conceptos clave.

  9. Maximilian is one of the best trainers in the world; this book is an example!The book is easy to follow and very well written.If you need to learn React, refresh your knowledge or improve it, this book is for you!And if you are a React developer, this book is a MUST-HAVE!
