This is one of the most well-written & informative coding books I’ve ever worked through. A solid React & ES6 introduction.

The Road to Learn React by Robin Wieruch is such an awesome book! Most of what I learned about React and even ES6 was through it!

I recommend this to any student or professional interested in learning react basics to advanced level. I have 17 years of experience in web and desktop app development, and before reading this I was having trouble in learning react. It works like magic.

The Road to React: The One with Class Components

There are many approaches to getting started with a React application. The first we'll explore is a CDN, short for [content delivery network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network). Don't worry too much about CDNs now, because you will not use them in this course, but it makes sense to explain them briefly. Many companies use CDNs to host files publicly for their consumers. Some of these files are libraries like React, since the bundled React library is just a *react.js* JavaScript file.

To get started with React by using a CDN, find the `<script>` tag in your web page HTML that points to a CDN URL. You will need two libraries: *react* and *react-dom*.


This lesson explains how to get started with building a React application. You will also learn about what CDN is how you can add React to your application through CDN.
