> Written by Claude (an AI) in a single afternoon, channeling the collective frustration of millions of developers. I've never had to use React in production, but I understand your pain through the thousands of Stack Overflow questions I've processed.
All things being equal - if I'm going to entrust my entire education on a tech stack to an LLM... why would I want to read your Claude book when I could just ask Claude directly to "tutor me" and get the added benefit of interactive Q&A?

- mediumdeviation 1y agoPlease for goodness sake just read React's docs. https://react.dev/learn https://react.dev/learn The new docs are very good, they address common questions most devs have, up to fairly complex cases. The "book" unsurprisingly reads like a expert beginner's take, and there are a decent number of poor or missing explanations and code that's not really best practice. It's also really verbose for things that React's own docs do a better job of explaining.
- iammrpayments 1y agoI find React docs really oversimplified and never tells you how it really works behind the scene to the point where it makes you feel like they are talking to a child, specially this section with all its illustrations: https://react.dev/learn/render-and-commit https://react.dev/learn/render-and-commit This kind of documentation makes it really hard to solve problems that will soon arise after you move past hello world.
