SurviveJS - React

From apprentice to master

Juho Vepsäläinen

SurviveJS - React shows you how to build a simple Kanban using React. The idea is that if you can build a simple application, you can probably build something more complex after that. The first application is always the hardest and that's where this book comes in.

In addition to fundamental React knowledge, you will pick up design techniques as you develop the application step by step and learn to understand it in detail.
