Learn How to Power Interfaces with React and Redux

and rants

React embraces developer confidence + productivity

• Not the next jQuery
• Great interop.
• Making waves because of thought process are

changing around interfaces

Simple != Easy

More dependencies Added boilerplate More tech debt Added complexity Small API surface

"Negatives"

• Just JS
• Work within constraints
• Enables best and worst practices
• Thoughtful, precise abstractions in components

help a lot!

• Lifecycle
• Composition over inheritance

• USE DEVTOOLS

• Webpack is massive tech debt
• Use the least amount of its features
• Node + Babel plugins > Webpack

• Started as an amateur project
• Original maintainer has significant control, rather than

community

• Config complexity
• Doesn't express the best cultural values around

developing software (openness, speed, policy, leverage community)

• Features driven, rather than focus on being a precise tool
• Bad docs

babel src -d dist

• Things take time to become perfect
• You could put a room together of the best

engineers in the room and nothing would get done

• Find your style of work, but move FAST
• Efficiency is a goal, but speed should be a

prime factor

• Experiment!
• Debug
• Iterate
• Repeat

• npm
• npm scripts

• git
• GitHub
