Good book on modern React
I am actually liking this book, I find the explanations clear and I don't regret my purchase.

Good for programmers of other languages unfamiliar with Javascript and React
I don't like buying books, but am glad I bought this one. Good if you already know a different language, but want to get up and running with Javascript (the book contains a primer) and React.

Too Deep for Beginners, Too Shallow for Pros
This is a pretty good book. For an existing intermediate-to-advanced React developer who hasn't yet embraced Hooks and React's purely-functional future (pun intended – farewell to ES classes, in other words), this is the perfect book for you. My only major complaint about it is that the authors need to fire their technical editor - there are too many sloppy mistakes in the example code and surrounding copy to let it slide. I've been at this long enough that I was able to spot them, but a book under the O'Reilly banner should be nearly perfect, technically, and this one is a bit sloppy (I assume online updates will offer corrections, but that's a bridge too far as well, imho). Otherwise, where this book suffers is that it doesn't adequately address either audience I believe it intended to reach. It's too advanced, and assumes too much past understanding of React, to really be a book I'd recommend for a beginner (and "Learning React" suggests a beginner's book, to me). Nor does it offer quite enough technical depth and detail to truly satisfy an advanced user. It would need about 200 more pages to adequately meet either bar. I think the authors just wanted to keep it short, but they lost the depth to fully satisfy either audience in the process. Don't get me wrong - there is a lot of great content in this book. It's just a little too sloppy, and a little too short. However, it will look good and fit very nicely next to several other React books in your library!

Well written but not modern enough
I really wanted to like this book as it starts off so well explaining the foundations of React and it's well written. It's not just a code dump book like the other popular book The Road to React, the author really takes the time at the start to explain key concepts. Coming from a Python background I could really appreciate this. The trouble is that for about 4 chapters you don't really get to see any proper modern React examples and when you do, you feel like instead of properly re-writing this book to really take advantage of modern React, the author has just roughly updated the old examples from a previous edition.

Learning React review
Excellent introduction to React. Clear, concise, plenty of examples, easy to follow. I was able to get booted up in React with this book and some hand’s on time in about four days and get productive.

Completa guia.( Lo compré para iniciarme)
Muy buena guia para entender los diferentes componentes y como ir evolucionando los y el porqué. Interesante el capítulo de configuraciones.

Ottimo
Un libro scorrevole, ottimo per chi come me ha bisogno di apprendere le basi di React dando una rispolverata al contempo a JS.
