Ask HN: Who is interested in React.js book?

2 pointsby danawalmost 10 years ago
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.<p>Would this be of interest to anyone? If so, what would you hope to have covered? Any other tips&#x2F;ideas?

I 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<p>If you could help the reader build a &#x27;to do&#x27; list app in React, which included some things most web apps need (back-end persistence, OAuth, multiple users, and deployment) then they&#x27;d know enough to start almost any app&#x2F;project.<p>It&#x27;s easy to find example code to show React consuming an unauthenticated, read-only API. For someone coming from Angular or similar, that&#x27;s probably enough. If you&#x27;re targeting people who are used to writing everything server side (e.g. traditional Django development) then there are still gaps.

Would be of interest to me if it&#x27;s well written and goes from the basics to in depth coverage.

I&#x27;d be interested if it&#x27;s online free.
