Ask HN: Who is interested in React.js book?
Ive begun writing a book on React focused on taking someone curious to try it all the way through lifecycle events, mixing, immutability, flux, routing and testing.
Would this be of interest to anyone? If so, what would you hope to have covered? Any other tips/ideas?
- eecks 11y agoI'd be interested if it's online free.
- alex_g 11y agoWould be of interest to me if it's well written and goes from the basics to in depth coverage.
- rahimnathwani 11y agoI would like a book or tutorial showing how to build a full app with React. It would need to cover: - React (although this is done well by existing docs) - JS bundling - Creating a back-end (e.g. Django REST Framework, or Flask, or Sails) - Authentication If you could help the reader build a 'to do' list app in React, which included some things most web apps need (back-end persistence, OAuth, multiple users, and deployment) then they'd know enough to start almost any app/project. It's easy to find example code to show React consuming an unauthenticated, read-only API. For someone coming from Angular or similar, that's probably enough. If you're targeting people who are used to writing everything server side (e.g. traditional Django development) then there are still gaps.
