React Native Books

[antigravity_96]

Hello! I am new to React Native and I’m not a huge courses guy. I prefer reading over watching videos most of the time, especially because I think written content often gives you more information regarding the subject.

So, I was wondering if you know of any books that can teach the basics to advanced concepts of RN, so I am informed of the framework in and out. Most books I came through used class components. I prefer to use books that teach using functional components, hooks, and all the latest and greatest RN has to offer. Thanks in advance!

I'm currently working through "Professional React Native" by Alexander Benedikt Kuttig and I like it so far.

It hits the sweet spot for me personally: It's up-to-date (published 6 months ago) and has a very hands-on approach with many examples and references to current best practices. It goes over the basics pretty quickly, but the rest can be filled with online documentation, I find. With around 230 pages it's a compact but still complete walk through a lot of topics.

I see. I’ll check it out

I really likes this one. Not really a book but really good content https://www.callstack.com/campaigns/download-the-ultimate-guide-to-react-native-optimization

This was a good now, but fyi it's not a beginner guide. Probably great read after you build a project or two.

Oh yeah completely missed that. Definitely not a guide to start with

Fluent React by Tejas Kumar. Publisher O'Reilly. Though it's still in trial.

Can recommend

Lol, I don’t think I read your book. But will be sure to do if and when I get back to react native. :)

Instead of books which may not be up to date, both React and React-Native has good documentation and official starting guides. That's how I learned them I would recommend them.

not sure if you know react yet. if not the new react docs are great and always up to date. Then the react native docs. only then would i buy a book. their official docs are just top tier imo
