If you are a frontend developer who wants to create truly reactive user interfaces in JavaScript, then this is the book for you. For React, you’ll need a solid foundation in the essentials of the JavaScript language, including new OOP features that were introduced in ES2015. An understanding of HTML and CSS is assumed, and a basic knowledge of Node.js will be useful in the context of managing a development workflow, but is not essential.
