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.

Together, we've spent well over two decades building within or consulting for

More Fish Please, Google: Exploring the Growing Search Demand for Sustainable Seafood and Aquarium Care

Typing searches does not take you to standard web listings. Instead, pressing "Search" or "I'm Feeling Lucky" acts as a trigger event. The sky drops more fish, sharks, and turtles into the tank.

The marine life isn't following a strict script. The fish use basic artificial intelligence algorithms to change directions, avoid the edges of your browser window, and react to your mouse clicks.

Instead of using flat, repetitive video files (like GIFs), the elements on the screen are treated as individual physics objects:

: Search community fish compatible with neon tetras to prevent aggressive behavior.

: Clicking this button in the underwater mode typically causes a treasure chest or more marine life to appear.

In the fast-paced world of digital entertainment, a surprising trend has emerged: players are demanding calmer, more immersive, and, quite frankly, fishier experiences. The phrase has become a rallying cry among fans of cozy games , virtual aquariums, and relaxing fishing simulations, often directed at platforms like Google Play to find the best, most calming aquatic experiences.

But the fish trend didn't stop there. On TikTok, a broad and ever‑evolving phenomenon known as the "fish trend" has taken over the platform. This isn't a single defined challenge but rather an umbrella term for anything featuring fish, aquariums, underwater imagery, or even metaphorical interpretations of "fishy" behavior.

If you are looking to add more fish to your aquarium, I can offer advice on or aquarium setup tips .Or, if you are looking to add more fish to your diet, I can help you find sustainable recipes or identify local seafood markets .

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.
