"The best resource for learning and using React"
One tutorial says one thing and another says something completely different.
There are fifty different boilerplates and a dozen different Flux implementations. Which one is best?
Then how are we supposed to write our models andcontrollers? Do we even have those anymore?
There aren't many good tutorials that show how everything works together.
And piecing together hundreds of blog posts isn't exactly fun.
With such an active community, there are so many updates it feels impossible to know about what's best and what's just noise.
React is a modular ecosystem but API docs often focus on one library and don't show the forest for the trees.
Learning a new framework can be fun, but we're spending all this time learning and we still have a job to do...
Props are the "arguments" to your components
onClick specifies a function that we can call when an element is clicked
Components can be used by other components. A React app is atree of nested components
By mixing code and markup, we're able to easily change the view based on state
React-proper is only the view-layer, but there is a lot to learn in order to make it work together.
GraphQL is a powerful alternative to REST that lets client applications specify their own typed views.
Relay is a new way of structuring client applications that co-locates data-fetching requirements and React components.
React doesn't have built-in support for routing, but there is a popular library that plays nicely with others.
What if you could master the entire framework in less time, with solid foundations , without beating your head against the wall? Imagine how quickly you can get all of your work done with the right tools and best practices .
Seriously, let's stop wasting time scouring Google, searching through incorrect blog posts and get everything you need to be productive in one, well-organized place, complete with both simple and complex examples to get your app up and running.
You'll learn what you need to know to work professionally and build solid, well-tested, optimized apps with ReactJS. This book is your definitive guide or your money back .
“I've been wanting to dig into React for ages, but hadn't found an accessible route. I really enjoy this book's example-driven approach. Makes everything very easy to understand.”
When you get access to Fullstack React , you're not getting just a book, but access to live code examples. Every chapter in the book comes packed with a complete project that builds on the concepts of the chapter.
Every chapter focuses on a different part of the ecosystem, but in the context of an app. So you'll see how everything fits together.
Several sample applications, ranging from simple to complex are included with every copy of the book.
We explain, in detail, nearly every concept in every chapter. By the end of the book, you'll understand React really well and feel comfortable writing your own apps.

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.
The course is great. Awesome consolidation of React learning materials that has made it super easy to learn.
Thank you for the great Fullstack React book. It's very straightforward and well-structured. I'm learning a lot!
Buying Fullstack React is one of the smartest decisions I made. You guys really explain things in details.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great book! I come from Flex, so seeing some of the same approach in JS is exciting. Thanks for Fullstack React.
I've tried to learn React on my own so many times, and searching on Youtube and Google is really frustrating because nowhere does anyone paint the complete picture. I like that Fullstack React includes warnings and gotchas. I also really like the versioned approach. It gave me a good way to learn step-by-step, and isolate learning to one thing at a time.
The book is great. I am half-way through it now. The examples are well thought out and the explanation is clear without being too verbose.
It’s tough to learn React without a single cohesive resource; this book saved me a lot of time that would have otherwise been spent bouncing between StackOverflow threads. I also have the cover framed and displayed prominently in my apartment.
I have been enjoying reading this book so much. I couldn’t put it down this weekend. Nice Job.
I’d say it’s exactly what I was looking for. The way in which you went about planning and building it seemed to directly mirror a real world situation. Thanks.
The book is complete and didactic, and covers the subject from end to end. It was excellent.
Fullstack React is the best book for learning React! I have gained a lot of knowledge and I can't wait to share it with others. I'm truly grateful to you guys.
BRILLIANT book! Absolutely loving the way it's written and put together and it's taken my limited knowledge of React and skyrocketed it!
Your book has all high-end topics, such as Flux, Express and most importantly GraphQL. Everything combined in this one source makes it easy to follow. Plus, the fact that you applied code examples with screencasts gives it another big advantage. There are tons of courses, but I was looking for something well-structured and combined for easier following and learning, which is why I chose Fullstack React.
props and state
Within 15 minutes of opening the first chapter you'll have your first React app up and running
You'll learn core React concepts from building custom components, to implementing routing, managing application dataflow, unit testing, and beyond.
The book covers best practices for code organization, testing, and performance. We cover practical and real-world examples of how to piece-together applications.
How long is the book?
The book has 15 chapters totaling 810+ pages, several sample apps totaling over 10,900+ lines of code (JavaScript/JSX, non-comment lines).
Is the book complete?
Yes! We're often updating and expanding the book as things change in the ecosystem.
Do I have to know JavaScript?
A little bit. We don't assume that you've used React before, and we do explain many JavaScript concepts. But this book assumes you have a little bit of background in JavaScript programming.
However, this book teaches React from the ground up and you can use it even if you've never used a web-framework before.
How long is the book and screencast?
The book text is about 810+ pages and content complete. The screencast is about 2 hours long.
Do we actually update the book?

What if I don't like it?
If you're unhappy with the book or content, just reach out to us and we'll give you a full refund. There's no risk.
Does the book support React Fiber?
Yes! React Fiber's changes are internal. Given what we know about React 16, we don't think you'll need to do anything special to upgrade from React 15.
We're committed to keeping Fullstack React the best resource for learning and using React.
We're independent authors and we survive by making the highest quality book on React as possible.
