Great introduction to React without wasting any time on topics that are usually bunched together with React tutorials like Redux, GraphQL, MongoDb and others. I felt the use of classes was a bit redundant but still good to have them included to know that they exist I guess.

It's really worth completing the exercises and examples at the end of each character which help you solidify what you've just read.

It is an excellent way of getting started to learn react. Although It is limited to react, it does it's job well by delivering the best practices in React like using PropTypes etc., I think that this should be updated to the latest react version using hooks.

Very easy to understand and complete introduction to the React
Framework.

My first swag at learning React was working through the tutorial on reactjs.org, which left me confused.

Then I bought 'The Road to React', which had amazing reviews on Amazon, but it was just painful and useless.

Then I discovered 'Pure React'.

What a joy to work through this book. The author teaches you from the ground up how to break a page down into Components, drawing pictures etc.

Then he walks you over and over again through projects; setting them up , tying in everything, and explaining the difficult concepts in easy to understand language.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn react quickly and painlessly .

Excelent book for starting 0 to 100 wih React.
I'd recommend to follow by other books but this one as first approach is great.

Amazing introduction to ReactJS. The examples are concise and easy to follow. One other thing I enjoyed was all the exercises. They were…positively daunting.

Great primer on React without weighing you down with other tools
