This is a really good book. Not as good as The Road To Learn React, but good none-the-less.

I like that it takes a more complex approach to app building, taking on a bigger challenge and assuming people know more things, not so much for beginners anymore.

I practically learned React with Wieruch's The Road To Learn React, and I took this one as a way to learn firebase. In truth, this is more about learning some of the basics of React, such as HoCs, Context, etc, which I already knew, so it wasn't so impactful for me.

I wish the book had less repeated code though. Social logins were a lot of pages with basically the same content.

Would recommend to anyone that has never added authentication to a React app, and wants to learn to build more complex, clientside-only React apps.

Well this book was really gold for me. The way how Robin Wieruch everything shows, explains and implement step by step is really amazing and easy to follow. For me Robin Wieruch is the greatest teacher currently, because of all the topics he reviews and also provides with coding exercises to work on. I'm really satisfied with this book and as well with other books by Robin.

A BIG Thank you! Wishing you to continue in such a great way and provide amazing content to developer world!

This is the third book I read from Robin.

Robin writes in a very clear way and use a lot of good examples to explain the topics he is talking about.

When I started reading this book I already had a good experience with Firebase. However I decided to read it anyways because I always learn something new with Robin, such as new react techniques and good practices in software development.

I am an avid follower of Robin's blog and I highly recommend you to be as well.

Thanks Robin for helping the dev community.

Very easy to follow along book on learning Firebase using React.
It's been hard to find any other good resources on this particular subject matter.

The only thing that could make this book better would be if it demonstrated more complex data nesting. I believe that would truly complete the lesson.
(Perhaps with multiple users having contacts and messages lists.)

Overall, a great book!
Thank you Robin :)
