It is well thought through, giving readers a solid platform to start developing React applications and going on to learn about more advanced features of the technology. Review: Great book for learning core React library - The first thing to say here is that the book looked a lot smaller in the picture. It's a paperback and only 187 pages (at the time of writing) so I was expecting something that you could fit in your jacket pocket and take down the pub. On the contrary, when it arrived, I was surprised to find that it was actually A4 sized, so the book contains a lot more than content than I had expected. Incidentally, One of the benefits of having a book in this format is that you can easily prop it open while you type out the code examples (that's German engineering for you!). The book does not take long to work through, however. You could read it on one day or maybe two. I'm a relatively slow reader so it took about 3 days to read it all. I found the language very clear and concise, although there are one of two phrases where you can tell the writer is not a native English speaker - small things like "it's worth to mention that..." instead of "it's worth mentioning that..." - even the title of the book might be better written as "the road to learning react". Having said that, there are no instances in the book where the odd small grammatical error deflects from your understanding. Reading this book you can tell it's written by someone who is passionate about the subject and about teaching. It even encourages you in the preface to lend the book to your friends when you have read it, so everyone can benefit from the information. The author's enthusiasm is felt throughout the book and this makes it an enjoyable learning experience. With regards to the technical content of the book, it focuses on the core React library, and explains it in a very clear and logical way. It does not cover other related modules like Redux (see his other book, Taming The State In React for this topic), and does not get bogged down in setting up Node and npm (you can find this information out from the reference links at the end of each chapter if you need it). This means that you do not get overwhelmed by a massive amount of information when you are learning React. Another great feature of the book is that it teaches a lot about the new features of ES6. Really the book could have been called 'the road to learn React with ES6' as it includes information on topics such as class inheritance, lambda expressions, string literals, constants, spread operators, destructuring and much more. What I especially like is when it shows ES6 code, it also shows the equivalent code in ES5, so old school javascript developers like myself can easily grasp the concepts. Another good feature is when he shows code, he shows alternative ways of writing the code in ES6 shorthand, so when you encounter the same syntax in the real world, you will not be confused. All in all, I think this is probably one of the best programming books I have bought this year. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 172004399X | | Best Sellers Rank | 106,706 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 77 in Web Scripting & Programming 189 in Software Design & Development 190 in Computing & Internet for Professionals | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (805) | | Dimensions | 21.59 x 1.65 x 27.94 cm | | ISBN-10 | 9781720043997 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1720043997 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 286 pages | | Publication date | 14 Sept. 2018 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![The Road to React: Your journey to master plain yet pragmatic React.js - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518+W2zr3BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid introduction to React. *by G***T on 10 May 2025* A great introduction to React.

I'm really enjoying the format of the book as I tend to learn better from text-based tutorials with a focus on 'learning-by-doing' as opposed to video courses. Would definitely recommend to those looking to understand more about React and modern front end development. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Road to React: Your journey to master plain yet pragmatic React.js - JavaScript: The Definitive Guide: Master the World's Most-Used Programming Language - Eloquent JavaScript, 3rd Edition: A Modern Introduction to Programming --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/115054968-the-road-to-react-your-journey-to-master-plain-pragmatic](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/115054968-the-road-to-react-your-journey-to-master-plain-pragmatic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
