Introduction
There is no other way around to reach it. As the name suggests, React.js is a JavaScript library/framework. So, what are you going to do with a library without a programming language? Learning React.js doesn’t work in sequential order. A single book cannot start with the basics and make you the master of React.js. Mastering it can only be done by taking on the contents and elements while working and learning through different books. Do you think React.Js books are outdated nowadays?
The first thing we want to address right off the bat is books are the best way to learn. They are a bit outdated but look at the stuff they have got for novice users. Mastering React through books is also another possibility but not through a single book. Pick and learn pieces as you go along.
1. React Quickly – basics to mastering, a little note

You will move with the elements and learn fast multiple instances and you will work on a huge project while learning.
React quickly is a swift learning book with contents of introduction to React and JSX. As the book starts, the first few chapters aren’t really as quick as the title suggests.
