Please for goodness sake just read React's docs.

https://react.dev/learn

The new docs are very good, they address common questions most devs have, up to fairly complex cases. The "book" unsurprisingly reads like a expert beginner's take, and there are a decent number of poor or missing explanations and code that's not really best practice. It's also really verbose for things that React's own docs do a better job of explaining.

I find React docs really oversimplified and never tells you how it really works behind the scene to the point where it makes you feel like they are talking to a child, specially this section with all its illustrations: https://react.dev/learn/render-and-commit

This kind of documentation makes it really hard to solve problems that will soon arise after you move past hello world.

It's giving why the lucky stiff, but not in a good way.
