If you are web developer, you probably heard about React.js, the UI library. It's a simple and powerful way to write web components.

I'm writing a book to help developers start with React. It's coming out on Manning Publications and you can pre-order it starting today (MEAP).

You can download the first chapter completely for free right now from the page above (https://www.manning.com/books/react-quickly).

With the MEAP pre-order (eBook or print book + eBook), you'll get the first three chapters today as well as new chapters as they become available, including all updates as we refine the book. All the source code for the book's project is on GitHub right now: https://github.com/azat-co/react.

Also, in the next two days, you can use the code "mlmardan" to get 50% off the retail MEAP price. As the chapters go through reviews, they'll be added to the MEAP and you can read them.

We hope that people find this book informative, useful, and entertaining. I wrote several books on JavaScript and Node, but still want your feedback as I'm relatively new to React.
