React Quickly

React is a JavaScript library developed for one main reason—to build reusable UI components that present ever-changing data. The React philosophy is to focus solely on the user interface. In model-viewcontroller (MVC) terminology, React is the view. Because it has to work with models and other libraries, it’s designed to play nicely with pretty much any other framework, router, style, and model library. And it's well supported—React emerged from Instagram and is now used by Facebook, Asana, Khan Academy, and Atom among many more.

 

React Quickly is for anyone who wants to learn React.js fast. This handson book teaches needed concepts by using lots of examples, tutorials, and a large main project that gets built throughout.
