Building Large Scale Web Apps: A React Field Guide. By Addy Osmani and Hassan Djirdeh

“Building Large Scale Web Apps” is a toolkit to managing large-scale React applications.

React as a library allows you to start building user interfaces quickly and easily. But how do things scale as an application grows? How do you ensure that your codebase remains manageable, your performance metrics stay on point, and your team continues to work cohesively as the project evolves?

In this book, you'll uncover strategies that industry professionals use to build scalable, performant, and maintainable React applications, all without becoming overwhelmed by complexity.

A masterclass in the episode’s writing is its use of parallel storytelling and near-misses. The audience is made acutely aware that Mishti and Abir are destined to meet, yet the script teases this connection with delicious frustration. They inhabit the same city, breathe the same air, and even orbit the same peripheral events, but their paths refuse to cross. Abir is seen racing through the streets on his motorcycle, while Mishti navigates the crowded local trains. This structural choice does more than build suspense; it visually underscores their differing social strata and life philosophies. Their worlds are separate, yet the episode hints that a single, chaotic event—the impending engagement party of their respective family members—will shatter the glass between them.

The sisters head to the Kutch Utsav , where the story's initial events unfold.

Descriptive content, continous updates, and soundbites from industry professionals.

Descriptive, not prescriptive

When explaining content, we follow a descriptive approach, not prescriptive. In other words, we don’t tell you what specific tools or libraries you have to use to be successful. Rather, we focus on explaining a concept and employ certain libraries or tools to illustrate that concept.

React-focused with universal concepts

While the book is React-focused, it teaches universal concepts that transcend all web development frameworks. It's designed to enhance your understanding of building web applications that are scalable, maintainable, and adaptable, regardless of the specific technology stack.

Continous, frequent updates

Purchasing the e-book gives you access to all new content, edits, and improvements forever. In fact, we're currently working on adding three new chapters soon — Routing, User-centric API design, and React in 2024. Check out the Changelog to follow along on all the updates we'll make.

Soundbites from industry professionals

In the book, we share soundbites and thoughts from industry professionals. These soundbites are shared from start-up owners and software engineers who work at Doordash, Netflix, Spotify, and more.
