Book Review – Learning React

christophergordoncarr — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 03:43:20 +0000

Bought this one used.

Started out with ES1.6 section, which I really liked.

Covers the basics of react with a few small projects for recipes and star ratings.

Covers a few libraries and tools just lightly: eslint, next, typescript, server tools.

It also touches on the older class component style of react lightly as well, but the main focus is on the newer style function components.

I remember taking a react programming test online and just going through the modern react docs, I did not get any part of the Class components, and the whole test was on that style.

I would like a more advanced book/project to take a look at how some large projects are using React.

I’m reading Full-Stack React Projects next, I hope it gives me the examples I am looking for.

More open ended than I thought it would be. Pizza, introductions, then do what every you want. No real wrap up or demos, no group goals or general theme. The venue was good. Wireless, pizza, water, monitors, power adapters. They had pics of the royals over their bar. Some good books on the shelf and lab coats.

I have been working on various computer versions of a Western Card Game for several years.
Finally I have a multiplayer ajax/web version. Only requires a browser with Javascript. It should run on most devices.
