Mastering React.js Interviews

For Middle/Senior Developers

About the Book

The React.js interview process isn’t just about what you know—it’s about how well you can apply it. From component design and state management to accessibility, performance, security and architecture—top companies expect more than just surface-level answers.

This book is your complete, battle-tested guide to excelling in React.js interviews and confidently stepping into your next role.

Written by Kristiyan Velkov—a Front-end lead, mentor, and Docker Captain who has conducted over 350 technical interviews—this guide delivers the real-world insights, strategies, and questions that hiring teams use to evaluate top-tier developers.
