Review of React Projects - Second Edition
4 stars
I’m going to say that I completed this but to be honest stopped right after the bigger examples that weren’t really specific to the topic. I may however come back to them later.
Now to the book, it’s a really good introduction course into the basics of react you will need to know. I previously read a small part of another book and plowed ahead but quickly got into trouble. If you read all the sections dedicated to learning react, you will have a good grounding.
There is however a downside, the react framework moves fast or at least faster than a lot of other languages frameworks do. This book is designed for a much older version of react but it’s still fine, everything compiles. There will be warnings on compilation but when you’re finished, you can come back to your projects and upgrade from “create-react-app” to using “vite” and …

I’d still recommend this to an absolute beginner like I was. It has all the core knowledge you need, you’ll happily create a react website after.

Finished the chapter on using a basic test framework. Surprisingly complete, looks like a good portion of the computational and visual elements can be tested.
There was a section on using Cypress for end-to-end testing but I glossed over that, will return to it when needed.
All in all a good read.

Everything was going well up to this point "Chapter 5". Got a little more complicated with callbacks and reducers and there's a definite bug with the original code.
Could be due to my version of react/node.js so I'll give it a pass

Codified ⌬ commented on The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
‘So ended the adventures of the Misty Mountains. Soon Bilbo’s stomach was feeling full and comfortable again, and he felt he could sleep contentedly, though really he would have liked a loaf and butter better than bits of meat toasted on sticks.’ —J. R. R. Tolkien, “The Hobbit”

“What is all this uproar in the forest tonight?” said the Lord of the Eagles.
