It aims to address the challenges encountered in developing single-page applications, and is intended to help developers build large, easily scalable and changing web apps. Starting with a project on Open Library API, you will be introduced to React and JSX before moving on to learning about the life cycle of a React component. In the second project, building a multi-step wizard form, you will learn about composite dynamic components and perform DOM actions. You will also learn about building a fast search engine by exploring server-side rendering in the third project on a search engine application. Next, you will build a simple frontpage for an e-commerce app in the fourth project by using data models and React add-ons. In the final project you will develop a complete social media tracker by using the flux way of defining React apps and know about the best practices and use cases with the help of ES6 and redux. By the end of this book, you will not only have a good understanding of ReactJS but will also have built your very own responsive frontend applications from scratch. Style and approach An easy-to-follow program to learn ReactJS with the help of real world projects. Each topic is explained within the context of a project and provides plenty of tips and tricks for using ReactJS.

Developers will often opt to use ReactJS in combination with Node.js to build reusable user interface (UI) components. React is an open-source JavaScript library and it is often used as the V in MVC because it uses a JavaScript virtual DOM, which is faster than an ordinary DOM. This allows for a simpler programming model that offers better performance. Additionally, despite being designed to be used in a browser, React is also able to be rendered in a server using Node.js. ReactJS's data and component patterns also help maintain large applications and improve readability across devices.Node.js uses a single threaded model combined with event looping that makes for a highly scalable server different from traditional servers like the Apache HTTP Server which create limited threads to handle a large number of requests. This single threaded model also prevents the server from responding in a non-blocking manner, since there are practically no functions in Node.js that directly perform I/O. Additionally, because they output the data in bulks, applications created with Node.js do not suffer from buffering.Businesses looking to develop their own fast-running applications will benefit from a tag-team combination of Node.js and ReactJS. Not only will they enjoy having thousands of previously built, open-source libraries for Node.js, but they will also enjoy the efficiency of its simplified model plus the support from the Node.js and ReactJS developer community.

Note: The book was released on Christmas - December 25th, 2016. I updated the book again on January 3rd, 2017 to 102 pages -- double of the original draft. I edited it, included better explanations and a chapter on EcmaScript 6. The paperback edition of React.js Book was published on March 17th, 2017 with a total of 117 pages with included diagrams at the end of the book.My fourth web development book is simply called React.js Book. It will walk you step by step through the process of setting up a development environment and learning Reactive programming from start to finish. React is a library unlike any other I have worked with. Unlike jQuery where you had to learn a number of methods that do very specific things, it's largely inspired by a programming methodology for creating fast web applications.In addition you will be expected to know or at least be briefly familiar with prerequisite knowledge of other web development tools such as Node.js, NPM, Babel, JSX and Webpack. These are not required elements of programming with React, but without them things would be tough.As of 2017, Reactive programming is an alternative way of thinking about web applications. It provides software patterns that make your web app extremely responsive to user input and generally feel faster to the end-user (people who are using your application.) The Virtual DOM alone is enough of a reason to switch to React. Programming with React library, is a lot more than just learning about and using React objects, components, states, props and methods. It requires previous experience with JavaScript and at times assumes knowledge of software principles not inherent to React library itself.This book is not a list of object names, methods and functions with side explanations of what they do. Rather, it deals with the said principles involved in React programming thought up by the creators of React library. Principles that are usually understood by professional web developers and software engineers.For all these reasons stated above, this tutorial PDF E-book (that is now also available as paperback) will gradually walk you through the process of becoming familiar with React library, starting from basic concepts. Gradually, we will move toward more advanced subjects. So, prepare to be educated!
