To get the most out of this book

I'm assuming you will have beginner-level knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Having some experience with React would definitely be an advantage but it is not necessary. You will need a Windows/Mac computer with the latest software installed.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.

After reading the book, I'd like you to try to re-do all the challenges in the book all by yourself without looking at any code, all the while adding a personal touch of your own to each and every exercise.
