Getting Started with React. A light but powerful way to build dynamic real-time applications using ReactJS

Doel Sengupta, Manu Singhal, Danillo Corvalan

ReactJS, popularly known as the V (view) of the MVC architecture, was developed by the Facebook and Instagram developers. It follows a unidirectional data flow, virtual DOM, and DOM difference that are generously leveraged in order to increase the performance of the UI. Getting Started with React will help you implement the Reactive paradigm to build stateless and asynchronous apps with React. We will begin with an overview of ReactJS and its evolution over the years, followed by building a simple React component. We will then build the same react component with JSX syntax to demystify its usage. You will see how to configure the Facebook Graph API, get your likes list, and render it using React. Following this, we will break the UI into components and you’ll learn how to establish communication between them and respond to users input/events in order to have the UI reflect their state. You’ll also get to grips with the ES6 syntaxes. Moving ahead, we will delve into the FLUX and its architecture, which is used to build client-side web applications and complements React’s composable view components by utilizing a unidirectional data flow. Towards the end, you’ll find out how to make your components reusable, and test and deploy them into a production environment. Finally, we’ll briefly touch on other topics such as React on the server side, Redux and some advanced concepts.

Getting Started with React Native. Learn to build modern native iOS and Android applications using JavaScript and the incredible power of React

Ethan Holmes, Tom Bray

React Native is a game-changing approach to hybrid mobile development. Web developers can leverage their existing skills to write mobile applications in JavaScript that are truly native without using cross-compilation or web views. These applications have all of the advantages of those written in Objective-C or Java, combined with the rapid development cycle that JavaScript developers are accustomed to.Web developers who want to develop native mobile applications face a high barrier to entry, because they are forced to learn platform-specific languages and frameworks. Numerous hybrid technologies have tried to simplify this process, but have failed to achieve the performance and appearance that users expect.This book will show you all the advantages of true native development that React Native has without the steep learning curve, leveraging the knowledge you already have. We do this by getting you up and running quickly with a sample application. Next, we’ll introduce you to the fundamentals of creating components and explain how React Native works under the hood. Once you have established a solid foundation, you will dive headfirst into developing a real-world application from start to finish. Along the way, we will demonstrate how to create multiple screens and navigate between them,use layout and style native UI components, and access native APIs such as local storage and geolocation. Finally, we tackle the advanced topic of Native modules, which demonstrates that there are truly no limits to what you can do with React Native.

Git Essentials. Create, merge, and distribute code with Git, the most powerful and flexible versioning system available - Second Edition

Ferdinando Santacroce

Since its inception, Git has attracted skilled developers due to its robust, powerful, and reliable features. Its incredibly fast branching ability transformed a piece of code from a niche tool for Linux Kernel developers into a mainstream distributed versioning system. Like most powerful tools, Git can be hard to approach since it has a lot of commands, subcommands, and options that easily confuse newcomers.The 2nd edition of this very successful book will help you overcome this fear and become adept in all the basic tasks in Git. Building upon the success of the first book, we start with a brief step-by-step installation guide; after this, you'll delve into the essentials of Git. For those of you who have bought the first edition, this time we go into internals in far greater depth, talking less about theory and using much more practical examples.The book serves as a primer for topics to follow, such as branching and merging, creating and managing a GitHub personal repository, and fork and pull requests. You’ll then learn the art of cherry-picking, taking only the commits you want, followed by Git blame. Finally, we'll see how to interoperate with a Subversion server, covering the concepts and commands needed to convert an SVN repository into a Git repository.To conclude, this is a collection of resources, links, and appendices to satisfy even the most curious.

Git. Od koncepcji do praktyki

Jacek Drąg

Kontroluj rozwój Twojego oprogramowania Git to aktualnie najpopularniejszy na świecie system kontroli wersji. Dzięki niemu możliwe jest śledzenie modyfikacji w kodzie źródłowym i łączenie zmian w plikach dokonanych przez różne osoby w różnym czasie. Git oferuje wiele możliwości, jest bardzo elastyczny i nie narzuca sposobu, w jaki należy w nim pracować. Można to robić na przykład przy użyciu programów graficznych, które znacznie ułatwiają realizację niektórych celów, szczególnie w zakresie przeglądania historii pracy nad kodem czy rozwiązywania konfliktów. Ta książka koncentruje się głównie na rozwijaniu repozytorium kodu, czyli tworzeniu grafu commitów zawierających poszczególne wersje. Do realizacji tego zadania idealnym, bo najpotężniejszym narzędziem jest wiersz poleceń - i właśnie z niego korzystamy w poradniku. Druga kwestia, którą się zajmujemy, to próba zrozumienia, co Git mówi do nas w trakcie pracy. Tak, mówi, ponieważ gdy zlecimy mu wykonanie jakiejś komendy, Git najprawdopodobniej nie tylko ją wykona, ale także skomentuje stan obecny, co nieco podpowie, zwróci uwagę, jeśli coś się nie uda, i wskaże sposób, jak to poprawić. Uruchom Gita, otwórz książkę i poznaj: Koncepcje (byty, abstrakcje), którymi posługuje się Git Polecenia wysokiego poziomu wraz z najczęstszymi przypadkami ich użycia Sposoby pracy w środowisku lokalnym i rozproszonym
