This book begins with a seven-chapter crash course that teaches the basics of React development. By the end of this course, you will know how to use JSX, props, state, and hooks to develop a React component that gets its data from a web API.

After the first seven chapters, the modular design of this book lets you jump to any other chapter to learn new skills as you need them. These skills include creating a single-page app (SPA), styling with CSS modules, styling with Tailwind, managing complex state, improving performance with memorization, validating props with TypeScript, unit testing with Jest, and server-side rendering (SSR) with Next.js.

Each chapter features clear examples, easy-to-understand explanations, best practices, and helpful tips. When you finish these chapters, you’ll be able to use React to develop a web app in a way that’s thoroughly professional.

Every Murach book guarantees high quality. The realistic examples show how each feature works in context, and the exercises at the end of each chapter let you gain valuable hands-on experience.

Python is one of the most powerful languages in the world — and one of the easiest to learn! Whether you’re new to programming or coming from another language, this book’s self-paced approach meets you where you are. If you’re new to programming, you can slow down when necessary and do the exercises at the end of each chapter to build confidence and skill. If you already know other languages, you can move quickly through the familiar to focus on the new as you learn Python faster than you’ve ever learned a language before. Either way, by the end of the book, you will have mastered the Python skills employers are looking for today.

Here’s how the book is organized: Section 1 is an 8-chapter course that gets you started with Python fast. By the end of this section, you’ll be able to use functions and modules to organize a program that uses file I/O to read and write data. Section 2 builds on that foundation with additional skills every Python programmer needs. Section 3 dives into object-oriented programming. And section 4 brings it all together as you build realistic database and GUI applications.

This book teaches anyone with a basic understanding of Java how to develop Android apps at a professional level, using Android Studio.

To start, it shows how to use Android Studio to code, test, and debug a Tip Calculator app for a smartphone or tablet. Then, it expands upon this app to show must-have Android skills such as working with layouts, widgets, events, themes, styles, menus, preferences, and fragments. Next, this book presents two more apps that illustrate Android skills you’ll use every day, such as working with threads, files, adapters, intents, services, notifications, broadcast receivers, SQLite databases, content providers, and app widgets. Finally, this book presents an app that uses the Google Maps API and shows you how to submit your finished apps to the Google Play store.

The real-world apps let you see how the skills you’re learning work together, and they illustrate how and when you’d use each skill. And all the content is presented in Murach distinctive “paired-pages” style that developers find so clear and time-saving for both training and reference.
