A gentle introduction to React that builds from the ground up, using the jаvascript you already know.

Sometimes learning React and all of it's dependencies can feel like too much to comprehend at once. Being a newcomer can feel intimidating. It's obvious that many people find React useful, but there is so much boilerplate and confusing terminology. React is built with jаvascript and you can write apps without adding tons of tooling at the beginning. React from Zero is a short course in learning the core of React without getting lost in the ecosystem. With React from Zero you can spend one weekend working through the basics of React, which will give you a firm foundation for building your own React apps.

React From Zero is split into two parts, each with multiple chapters. Every chapter tries to teach a single feature of React by presenting code examples and explaining them in detail.

The goal if this book is to demystify React and connect it to “everyday” jаvascript. Unlike many tutorials which use React as a “black box”, we’re going to start from the bottom and work our way up.

Part I: Basics
Part I of this book is about the basic usage of React.

We learn how React works by starting with jаvascript you already know.

First we setup a development environment and then we start by digging into the basic jаvascript objects that React components are made of. We’ll talk about why we use JSX tags when we write React, how to create re-usable components and how we can next them to make more complex structures.
In Part I we’ll teach you the skills that you’ll use in 80% of your day-to-day work with React.

Part II: Additions
Part II of this book is about the advanced features of React.

We learn about things like refactoring, lifecycle methods, library integration and unit-testing.

Is this book right for me?
We assume that you:
- Have a basic grasp of HTML
- Have a working knowledge of basic jаvascript

I’d guess that you’ve probably gone through a React tutorial or two before buying this book, but that isn’t a requirement. You don’t have to be a jаvascript expert and you certainly don’t need any existing expertise in React. We believe this book will be helpful if you’ve felt like learning React is daunting and you want to understand the core parts in isolation. If you’re the type of person who learns by taking things apart and then putting them back together, then I think you’ll really like this book.
