Book Description
Facebook’s React combined with industry-tested, server-side technologies, such as Node, Express, and MongoDB, enables you to develop and deploy robust real-world full-stack web apps. This updated second edition focuses on the latest versions and conventions of the technologies in this stack, along with their new features such as Hooks in React and async/await in JavaScript. The book also explores advanced topics such as implementing real-time bidding, a web-based classroom app, and data visualization in an expense tracking app.
Full-Stack React Projects will take you through the process of preparing the development environment for MERN stack-based web development, creating a basic skeleton app, and extending it to build six different web apps. You’ll build apps for social media, classrooms, media streaming, online marketplaces with real-time bidding, and web-based games with virtual reality features. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how MERN stack web development works, extend its capabilities for complex features, and gain actionable insights into creating MERN-based apps, along with exploring industry best practices to meet the ever-increasing demands of the real world.
By the end of this React book, you’ll be able to build production-ready MERN full-stack apps using advanced tools and techniques in modern web development.

Great Book!
I wouldn’t recommend relying only on this book if you are new to web development or to the underlying technologies in this stack. It makes a better fit, if you’ve explored these individual technologies a bit, and are ready to start building your own full-stack javascript web applicationsI think the real strength of this book is the variety of projects it covers. It shows how to use the same setup to build different applications such as a social media platform, an online classroom, and an e-commerce marketplace. It also gives working examples of other library integrations for features like real-time bidding, video streaming, data visualization, and web VR.Having a resource with so many different examples has been super handy for me, especially for exploring and understanding how this stack integrates and works for web apps. You should consider this book If like me you also learn best from running the code and seeing it in action rather than just reading about it.

Great book!
This is a great book! I learned the basics of MERN stack from the various resources that are available online. I decided to buy this book after finding the some of the chapters from the first edition. This book delved right into coding which helped me learn how to work on actual projects. I always learn new frameworks/languages by experimenting with existing codes. This book provides plenty of codes to do just that. I did, however, find some errors in the book. So I contacted the author on GitHub. She was quite helpful. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys programming and is interested in web development.

Outstanding resource
So far this has been a great read. Supported and walks through the stack from basic to advanced applications. There are a couple of pages that have extremely small text, but not a deal breaker.

Broken Mess/A description of the authors steps
This book is very disappointing. The code does not run and it is out of date. There are errors in the command line and the code does not compile. I was expecting the author to at least explain how to install the environment and dependencies in detail to overcome this issue, but she fails to do so. The code does not even run when following the authors readme file and steps. They are severly lacking. You are on your own to fix this mess, and I don’t have the time for that. That’s why I purchased a book to get me up and running quickly in the first place! I already have some knowledge on react.As a result this book is wasting space on my book shelf. I regret buying this book and for not listening to what other reviewers had to say. Now I regret my purchase.

React is hardly covered in the book and it is more of a cookbook than a learning book
The development environment installation process is very cumbersome. It is not straightforward, and it is not step-by-step. This book assumes a lot and expects you to use other resources to make up for missing.

A new edition with nice additions
I am glad this second edition came out with updated code and new projects. The new projects with real-time auctioning and data visualization examples are very interesting. The examples in the first edition book were quite helpful for starting with full-stack web development. In the first edition, the code uses React class components, and this edition uses React functional components with hooks for the same implementations. Being able to compare these changes has been useful for upgrading code in some of my projects. I have also found the skeleton from this book to be a good reference for setting up new full-stack projects from scratch.

A book you don’t want to pass up on
Great book. Explained with reader friendly code snippets and eye catching screenshots.

Mostly useless “copy and paste” follow-along guide
This is probably the worst $20 I’ve spent on Amazon since, well . . . maybe ever.The book doesn’t give any background on actually learning core concepts of any of the development stack. There’s no explanation given of classes/methods commonly used in React. It gives no background on what any of the NodeJS server components are doing, what’s actually happening under the hood with Webpack, etc.No concepts are explained, little to no context given for specific application use cases, zero “why” given for what the presented technologies are designed to do.I kid you not, the basic premise of the book is, “Copy the project code from our GitHub site and follow along.” If there was any possible way I could get a refund for this less-than-useless “textbook,” I would, but I’m now well outside the return window for Kindle books.Don’t waste a single cent or second of your time with this book. Go literally anywhere else for helpful learning material on React / Node.

This book is perfect for experienced Full-Stack Developers that may have dabbled in the MERN stack and are looking to get a handle on newer technologies. Iâm currently a LAMP Dev and I was searching for a new stack to add to my skillset. By taking a few basic react and mongoDB courses prior to reading this book I had a great understanding and it was easy to follow along. The book provides repositories to easily compare your code so thereâs little room to not get things working. It does seem very copy and paste, but they explain the chunks of code relating to the stack as a whole. Overall Iâm very pleased.

This is a great book if you are trying to learn MERN Stack. But before starting with this book you should have intermediate knowledge of JavaScript and which is expected before starting the MERN Stack development. But overall it is a great book.

I decided to get this book after coming across its projects and demos on GitHub. The choice of projects cover a wide range of options. I was spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to build full-stack React-Node web applications from different sources. But getting this many complete examples in one place has been quite useful. Iâd recommend getting this book to augment your full-stack development experience.But I wish it would be clearer that an updated second edition is available, I almost spent my money on the old book!

El libro está bien como una introducción a react. Se echa de menos una explicación más en detalle, a bajo nivel de los procedimientos. Hay un montón de páginas que son trozos de código donde la mayor parte ya se ha visto.Si eres nuevo y quieres empezar, puede ser un buen punto de partida. Si ya tienes algunos conocimientos, podrÃa resultar un poco tedioso
