Articles
“The most important lessons I’ve learned after a year of working with React”
In this article we’ll be covering some lessons I learned regarding this mindset from my personal experiences with React. We’ll go over the days at work and nights with personal projects and even the talk I gave at a local JavaScript event.
“Learn how to create a simple blog with React & Node”
In this article you will learn how to create a personal blog using React & Node. You will also learn how to config your own Webpack, Redux, React-Router and start your node server from scratch.
“Building Redux from scratch”
A good way to learn how things work is to build it from scratch. Most of the time we are using a Javascript library as a black box. We only care about how to use the public APIs they provide without caring much about how it works. This tutorial will focus on unveiling the magic behind Redux, and walk you through how to write it from scratch.
“How to build a news app with JavaScript and React Native”
Projects
Reach Router
Ryan Florence of React Router/React Training fame has announced a new router project.
In May of 2014 I created the first version of React Router and was involved with the project all the way to the end of 2017 at version 4. Because of that, Reach Router is clearly influenced by React Router and all of the ideas of the contributors who built it.
To me, Reach Router is everything I missed about v3 and everything I love about v4, plus a few things I’ve always wanted a router in React to have, particularly focus management and relative links. I want a more accessible web, especially in React.
JavaScript Algorithms
It isn’t React-specific, but this repo has gained a lot of attention this week as a great canonical resource for writing lots of algorithms and data structures in JavaScript. A great way to level up your JavaScript skills this weekend.
Wired Elements
Wired Elements is a series of basic UI Elements that have a hand drawn look. These can be used for wireframes, mockups, or just the fun hand-drawn look.
