Before readingWhy I picked it up

Transitioning a work project from AngularJS to react and want to learn more react fundamentals.

After readingPosted October 14, 2026

A gentle introduction for beginners, but I was expecting a little bit more and felt the content was shallow. By Up and Running, I'm not sure if was just in regards to your local environment; would have liked more production quality examples and topics. Component examples were very simplistic and little talk of the ecosystem of libraries needed to get things running. The core topics covered in depth official documentation should have been kept to a minimum and more focus on practical and above intermediate applications. The 'advanced' topics towards the end could have been the main examples and gotten more involved as the book progressed.

Three reasons to read it

  1. 01Introduction for beginners on react.
  2. 02Front-end engineering wanting to get better at react.
  3. 03Learn about web components.

Notes for this book are still being transcribed.
