@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ This book is based on the first chapter of the book *High-Performance React*. If
*Foundations of High-Performance React Applications* is not intended to be an introduction to React or JavaScript. While it might be useful to beginners, this book assumes familiarity with both JavaScript and React.
And while this book only specifically addresses React-DOM the foundations apply equally to React-Native and other React implementations because they are all based on the same core React library and algorithms.
For the code in this book, the goal is to be clear and simple; to best communicate the algorithms we will be exploring. It is not intended to be used in production but it is functional and you will likely find it useful to follow along by also writing the code yourself. It will help you better understand how it works, and even more critically, it will allow you to play with it and test how the algorithms work with your own examples.
Even if you don't write out the code yourself and instead treat this book more as a novel you read through and then move on, I believe the fundamentals should still stick with you and provide value in your React programs-to-come.
