思想、脈絡與觀念理解是真正的專業技術門檻，也是鑑別出實力強大或平庸工程師的關鍵區別之一。 本書內容改編自第 14 屆 iThome 鐵人賽 Modern Web 組的冠軍系列文章《一次打破 React 常見的學習門檻與觀念誤解》。本書以循序漸進的脈絡帶讀者從頭理解 React 技術的核心觀念、運作原理與設計思維。 React 本身的設計基於了許多程式領域的設計模式，而這些設計模式的概念大多都與「還沒有使用前端框架時的程式運作思維與習慣」相去甚遠。因此當你沒有真正理解這些設計模式時，你會覺得 React 的許多設計與行為都很不直覺甚至莫名其妙。並且，如果你不熟悉這些觀念或原理的話，則非常容易在實際開發時寫出有問題但卻不自知的程式碼，為專案的程式碼品質和軟體產品的可靠性埋下巨大的隱患。 有別於市面上充斥的各種「教你如何呼叫語法」以及「帶你實戰範例」的 React 學習資源，本書會著重於技術理解的基本功累積，讓你對於 React 的觀念不再一知半解，以避免「跟著寫了很多 React 範例練習卻還是不懂這些程式碼是如何運作的，無法真正掌握這門技術」這種常見的學習瓶頸，帶你朝向真正的專業 React 開發者邁出紮實且關鍵的一大步。 目標讀者 本書並不是一本關於如何開發 React 專案的手把手實戰教學手冊。相較於大量的案例實作練習，本書會更聚焦於 React 的核心設計思維以及最常被誤解的觀念進行透徹的解析，希望能夠幫助大家一次打破 React 的學習門檻與觀念誤解，成為真正的專業 React 開發者。這本書適合所有「希望將 React 作為專業技術能力」的人學習： ❏ 適合有 JavaScript 的基礎，但對 React是完全新手的人。你可以透過本書從零建立相當穩固的 React 核心觀念理解與思維的基本功，對於後續繼續學習其他實戰類型的學習資源也能有更好的基礎進行銜接。 ❏ 也適合已經在學習 React 中的人。這本書將可以讓你對於許多觀念的理解茅塞頓開，學習成效事半功倍。 ❏ 也適合對 React 有一定程度的認識或實作經驗，但對於核心觀念與原理還沒深度掌握的人（應該有蠻多人是處於這個階段）。這本書會是你突破瓶頸、邁向資深 React 開發者的關鍵助力。專業推薦 「這本書使 React 初學者能夠打破「只會跟著寫範例但不理解背後原理」的惡性循環，進而
