React in Depth
A guide to the advanced React skills used by the very best React developers.
React in Depth teaches the React libraries, tools and techniques that are vital to build amazing apps. You’ll put each skill you learn into practice with hands-on projects like a goal-focused task manager, expenses tracker, and custom UI library.
In React in Depth you will learn how
• Assess technologies in the React ecosystem
• Implement advanced component patterns to improve React code
• Optimize React performance for a smooth user experience
• Use developer tooling for better code maintenance and debugging
• Work with TypeScript for type safety
• Use CSS in JavaScript for efficient styling
• Manage data in React, including remote data and reactive caching
• Unit test React components for quality assurance and bug prevention
• Use popular React frameworks for building production-ready applications
React in Depth focuses on the modern best practices of React development, with full and up-to-date coverage of the latest features and changes to the React ecosystem. This book highlights the advanced techniques that turn a React pro into a React wizard, and how you can future-proof your career by mastering new React technologies as they emerge.
About the technology
What does knowing React in depth mean? It means writing clean, modular code that you can test and refactor. It means applying design patterns and architectural principles to real-world problems. It means collaborating effectively with other developers and harnessing the power of React’s rich ecosystem. That’s exactly what this book delivers!

React solves the complexity of the dynamic UI development and more. To be a Web Developer in demand therefore it is crucial to be able to program in React. Despite React is merely another JavaScript library (with the emphasis on TypeScript, and so for all the right reasons) it is not so easy to learn it by just skipping through blog posts. React has an arguably unique programming model or paradigm that is not so easy at first to master.
A book like React in Depth becomes invaluable by filling the voids I found left out by the so many blog posts a search away. Many posts - but hard to assemble to get a project going.
This book helps immensely to start without panic and progress towards building several mature and quite a for show off web sites. Well, your choice to show or not.
I personally was initially taken aback by some rough edges of React, struggled with hooks and the callbacks. This book smooths these sharp edges.
At the end I liked React even more, as the centricity and immutability of data in it, elegant and expressive syntax, function-first way of thinking. Most things in React just work, be it unit testing, deployments (again, harder without the book, as Hydration is a tricky beast) or accessing a database.
In closing, I can't say what else this book on React should have covered or improved, but I am sure more editions with follow, so I give it a five.

This book is very amazing. It can explain all the facets of the React features from simple CSS to more complex components framework, but also the different layer of the application with different technology you can implement, and those in a very simple but pragmatic way. But that’s not enough. It let you take your own choices after explaining the pros and cons underpinned with multiple use cases and illustrated by best practices (as for clearly detailed pattern) and limitations and pitfalls. at last but not the least, this approach is completed by professional and industrial matters, I mean that the scalability, security, maintainability, fluidity among other things are taking in account
This work is a mastery in the domain, a must to have and a must to read
