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

Happy fixing, and may your fictional couples always find their way back to each other. Have you successfully WW fixed a romantic storyline? Share your favorite divergence point in the comments below — or link to your own fix-it fic.

Transform the triangle into a triad of friendship or a clear emotional lesson. Or, better yet, have the focal character reject both options to find themselves first. Example Fix: Instead of choosing, the protagonist says, “I love you both, but I can’t be with anyone until I know who I am alone.” This mature fix elevates the storyline and leaves room for a healthier future romance. Part 3: Rewriting Romantic Storylines – Step-by-Step Let’s apply the WW fix method to a real example. Imagine a canon where two soulmates are torn apart by a prophecy that says they’ll destroy the world if they stay together. The original ending has them parting tearfully.

Instead of accepting the prophecy, one character researches its origin. They discover the prophecy was written by a jealous third party.

Interrupt the miscommunication. Have the character pause and say, “Wait, let me clarify.” Or, better yet, have a secondary character (a loyal best friend) physically stop the misunderstanding by dragging the two lovers together. Example Fix: Instead of the classic “I saw you with her/him!” meltdown, the jealous character pulls the other aside and admits, “I’m scared. Help me understand.” That single line of vulnerability kills the trope and deepens intimacy. Problem 2: The “Idiot Plot” – No One Talks About Their Feelings Symptoms: Two characters clearly love each other, but contrived reasons keep them apart for 400 pages. The audience is screaming, “Just kiss already!”

Create an event that forces the “taker” to give in equal measure. This is your chance for a role reversal. Example Fix: The overly generous lover gets injured or experiences a major failure. The previously detached partner now has to step up — not out of guilt, but out of realization. This fixes the dynamic by proving they’re capable of change. Problem 4: The Love Triangle That Killed the Story Symptoms: A third character is introduced solely to create jealousy, but the outcome is predictable or unsatisfying (e.g., the “wrong” person wins, or the triangle resolves by killing one of them off).

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.
