The goal of this handbook is to provide a starter guide to learning React.

At the end of the book, you’ll have a basic understanding of:

• What is React and why it’s so popular
• How to install React
• The concepts of React: Components
• The concepts of React: State
• The concepts of React: Props
• Handling user events in React
• Lifecycle events in a React component

Those topics will be the base upon which you will work on in other more advanced React courses.

This book is especially oriented towards JavaScript programmers new to React.
