Developed by Facebook, React is one of the leading frameworks to build efficient web user interfaces. You use small manageable components to build large-sale, data-driven websites without page reloads. No more wasting time hunting for DOM nodes!

In this book, we take you on a fun, hands-on and pragmatic journey to master React from a web development point of view. You’ll start building React apps within minutes. Every section is written in a bite-sized manner and straight to the point as I don’t want to waste your time (and most certainly mine) on the content you don’t need. In the end, you will have what it takes to develop a real-life app.
