"The best resource for learning and using React"

Stop wasting your time learning React with incomplete and confusing tutorials

  • There are so many incorrect and confusing blog articles

    One tutorial says one thing and another says something completely different.

  • There are too many options

    There are fifty different boilerplates and a dozen different Flux implementations. Which one is best?

  • React is only the view layer?

    Then how are we supposed to write our models andcontrollers? Do we even have those anymore?

  • Googling only takes you so far...

    There aren't many good tutorials that show how everything works together.

  • Time is money

    And piecing together hundreds of blog posts isn't exactly fun.

  • React and all the crazy libraries update so often, how can anyone expect to keep up?

    With such an active community, there are so many updates it feels impossible to know about what's best and what's just noise.

  • How does it all fit together?

    React is a modular ecosystem but API docs often focus on one library and don't show the forest for the trees.

  • Still not hitting your deadlines?

    Learning a new framework can be fun, but we're spending all this time learning and we still have a job to do...

React has many moving parts

  • Props

    Props are the "arguments" to your components

  • Event Handlers

    onClick specifies a function that we can call when an element is clicked

  • Nested Components

    Components can be used by other components. A React app is atree of nested components

  • Dynamic Attributes

    By mixing code and markup, we're able to easily change the view based on state

React apps are made of components
JSX puts HTML in your JavaScript

React is an Ecosystem

  • React-proper is only the view-layer, but there is a lot to learn in order to make it work together.

  • GraphQL

    GraphQL is a powerful alternative to REST that lets client applications specify their own typed views.

  • Relay

    Relay is a new way of structuring client applications that co-locates data-fetching requirements and React components.

  • Routing

    React doesn't have built-in support for routing, but there is a popular library that plays nicely with others.

What People Are Saying...

I'm finding the book mind-blowingly informative. I learnt React through several tutorials all around the Web and finding up to date, trustworthy resources was a pain. Fullstack React is a concrete source of information. Its information is complete and it makes concepts look so damn easy.

James Muturi

The course is great. Awesome consolidation of React learning materials that has made it super easy to learn.

Joshua Bitossi
Launch Engineer at Shopify Plus

Thank you for the great Fullstack React book. It's very straightforward and well-structured. I'm learning a lot!

Olga Isakova

Buying Fullstack React is one of the smartest decisions I made. You guys really explain things in details.

Otman Bouchari
Founder at RestauMagnet LLC

It's the best written tutorial on React I've come across until now, and I've searched a lot before buying Fullstack React. It helps a lot to have everything in one place and learn by getting your hands dirty.

Bogdan Pestritu
Software Engineer Web Platforms

I have to say, well done! This was the easiest framework learning experience I've ever had. It took me months to work effectively with Angular and within ~10 days I feel 100% confident I can build any React app I want from scratch.

Drew Tyler

Wow! Awesome material for starting to learn React. I'm switching from Angular and this book has been helping a lot to show my coworkers how easy learning React can be.

Alan Schlindvein
COO at IGOTTEN

​With a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, I searched for the best book to help me learn React. I read over the content of every React book I could find. Your book has the richest content. Then I downloaded the first chapter and I said to myself, this book is THE one for me. Your explanations are simple and clear. You even show 7 steps to build an app from scratch, which is so valuable, to a beginner like me. I've read tons of programming books but never found one like yours.

Huy Bui
Student at South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences

As a beginner in React, the book helped me to understand some points that were still blurry for me about React and helped me build my first basic app. The code samples are really detailed. It was really awesome.

Fleury Butoyi
Web Developer at BlueSquare.org

Great book! I come from Flex, so seeing some of the same approach in JS is exciting. Thanks for Fullstack React.
