It All Starts With Understanding The Foundation
It can be hard to create high-performance React applications without having a firm understanding of the foundations. In this book you'll create your own version of React that will give you a deep insight into the performance of React itself.

About the Book
React performance can be a mystery. When your app performance degrades it isn't always clear where to look or how to fix the issue. Foundations of High-Performance React Applications is a mini-book exploring what makes React itself behave the way it does. Armed with this knowledge you will be better equipped to build your own high-performance React applications and correctly diagnose bottlenecks.
Beyond diagnosing bottlenecks, this book teaches the fundamentals of how React renders. By the end of the book you will not only know exactly how React works internally but you’ll also have a deep understanding of how to build React applications that take full advantage of the strengths of the React architecture.
The book takes you through the process of creating your own “mini” version of React that is based on the same heuristic algorithms React is. You will not only learn how React renders but be able to see it demonstrated in the included source code.
