Pro React
Pro React teaches you how to successfully structure increasingly complex front-end applications and interfaces. This book explores the React library in depth, as well as detailing additional tools and libraries in the React ecosystem, enabling you to create complete, complex applications. You will learn how to use React completely, and learn best practices for creating interfaces in a composable way. You will also cover additional tools and libraries in the React ecosystem (such as React Router and Flux architecture). Each topic is covered clearly and concisely and is packed with the details you need to learn to be truly effective. The most important features are given no-nonsense, in-depth treatment, and every chapter details common problems and how to avoid them. If you already have experience creating front-end apps using jQuery or perhaps other JavaScript frameworks, but need to solve the increasingly common problem of structuring complex front-end applications, then this book is for you. Start working with React like a pro - add Pro React to your library today.

I can recommend this book for anyone that wants to learn React.
The gradual introduction of material is kept at a good pace and the examples are clear. The author often goes out of his way to point out certain things that may be unclear to readers who have little experience with topics such as ES6.
The world of JS moves extremely fast, but despite this, the book discusses knowledge that is still relevant to React development. An example of this is the chapter on Flux - it appears that the community has since migrated to using Redux instead of Flux. However; the chapter on Flux introduces the concept of a ReducerStore, which means you can pretty much jump into a React/Redux project.

good clear coverage of the material, and nicely sized exercises that let you work through each concept on an increasingly complex codebase. Excellent as an introduction to React.

For someone who's a newcomer to React and professional js-development in general, I think is a good starting point.
It is not highly opinionated nor directed to a particular approach, and has code that works, it's fun to follow the steps and you go through the book with a constant flow.
A good read in general.

Although there's plenty of errata and just API changes (those aren't the author's fault), the online repos are kept up-to-date. It's a great tour of the framework, covering everything from component structuring to flux architecture to universal/isomorphic JS.

Good examples. Had to review if not up to date.

Книга, заслуживающая внимания, но местами нудноватая.
