Yep, ditto. I went from learning about React and Redux myself, to trying to share what I've learned, to actually being something of an expert on them. (The fact that some people actually want to know what I have to say is still _really_ amusing to me :) ) I've spent the last year+ hanging out in the Reactiflux chat rooms, and apparently have consistently been the top contributor by message volume every month - and not by small margins, either ([0]). At a conservative estimate of 3 people helped a night, that's somewhere over 1000 people I've helped there, which is pretty cool. In March-ish, I created a links list for tutorials, articles, and other resources related to React and Redux ([1]). I've continued to add links on a weekly basis, and that list recently hit 5500 stars. I've also maintained a Redux addons catalog ([2]), which

just hit 1500 stars. I wrote two major sections for the Redux docs: the FAQ page ([3]), and the "Structuring Reducers" how-to/recipe section ([4]). Those have been very well received. As a result, Dan Abramov added me as a contributor to the Redux repo, and eventually handed the keys to me and Tim Dorr as the official maintainers. I also helped offer advice and critiques for Jim Bolla as he built the new React-Redux v5 implementation ([5]) Finally, I started up a dev blog, where I've been writing about use of React and Redux ([6]). In particular, I've been writing a tutorial series called "Practical Redux" ([7]), which is intended to demonstrate some useful techniques I've come up with in the context of a sample app that's _not_ yet another TodoMVC clone :) I also wrote a recap of how I got involved in Redux in the first place ([8]). So yeah, it's been a pretty crazy last year, but I love being able to help people learn how to use React and Redux.

I gave a presentation a couple months ago that goes over some of the history of web development, then introduces some of the problems that today's web developers are trying to solve and how these tools are used to solve them ([0]). That might help clarify things a bit. I also have a number of similar articles linked ([1]) as part of my React/Redux resources list ([2]).

In Ask HN: What is happening to JavaScript with ES6 and friends?
acemarke·Dec 17, 2016
Hi. Dan Abramov, the author of Redux, wrote a short, simple explanation of what Redux is ([0]). Another way that I like to describe it: Redux is a small wrapper for storing a single variable (usually an object). You provide a function with all the logic for updating that value, and Redux will call your function with the old value and some info on what just happened (also from your own code). Redux saves the new result, and acts like a simple change event emitter, letting any interested code know that something just changed. The term "reducer" is because the function you provide to Redux acts like the callback you would pass to `Array.reduce()`, which takes in the old value and current item as arguments, and returns a new value. Got a few more links for you. First, I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials on React, Redux, an

d related topics, at [1]. Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem. Second, Dan Abramov has a couple video tutorial series that walk you through the basic ideas of Redux step by step ([2]). You should definitely watch through those. Third, I have a list of some selected real applications that have been built with Redux ([3]). One of the categories in my React/Redux links list has a bunch of "best practices / lessons learned" articles ([4]), which are also based on the experience of real companies that have used Redux to build real products. To name a few random examples: Mozilla is using Redux in Firefox's Developer Tools; Wordpress is using it in their new admin UI; Twitter uses it in their mobile site; and many more.

This is a _great_ tutorial series! I've already added it to my React/Redux links list ([0}), and is definitely one that I'd point people to right away in the future, along with other tutorials like the official React docs ([1]), the "React to the Future" slideshow ([2]), and the "Learn Raw React - no JSX or ES6" tutorial ([3]).

The previous tutorial posts by Robin are fantastic, and cover topics like React, Redux, MobX, Flow, and ESLint ([0]). This book looks to be even better. I'm going to preemptively recommend it without having even read it yet, because I know it'll be extremely well written. As a similar note and bit of a self-plug: I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials on React, Redux, and related topics, at [1]. Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem, as well as a source of quality info on more advanced topics. I've also been blogging at [2] on React and Redux usage, and just posted "Practical Redux Part 5: Loading and Displaying Data" [3], the latest in a tutorial series intended to demonstrate some intermediate to advanced usages of React and Redux.

I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials on React and related topics ([0]). As part of that list, I have a page of links to Javascript learning resources ([1]).

In Ask HN: How to start learning JavaScript concepts
acemarke·Dec 8, 2016
Couple corrections. React uses a "virtual DOM", which is a tree of plain JS objects that can be diffed between renders. "Shadow DOM" is a browser feature related to the Web Components spec. React's biggest advantage is really not the virtual DOM, but rather how it enables you to think about your application. The phrase "easy to reason about" is kind of overused by now, but there's a lot of truth to it. React encourages use of small components that can be composed together as needed, top-down data flow, and Functional Programming principles. Also, its rendering approach lets you think almost exclusively in terms of "given this state data, what do I want my UI output to look like?", rather than "_If_ this div was visible, I want to toggle it off when there was a click here, but only if..."-type transitions. Overall, that makes it a wh

ole lot easier to understand what is going on inside the application. There was a recent Reddit thread labeled "What were the biggest 'aha' moments you had in learning React?" ([0]), which has a lot of good comments. You might also be interested in reading through some of the posts on "Thinking in React" ([1]) out there, as well as some business case arguments for using React ([2]). Both those sections are part of my larger React/Redux links list ([3]), which has links to numerous tutorials, articles, and other resources on React.

There was a recent Reddit thread entitled "Modern JS dev workflow makes me sad" ([0]). The complaint was reasonably well-written, and I wrote a lengthy response in return ([1]). I'll quote part of my comment here: > Another thing to keep in mind is that those tools constitute an entire compiler toolchain. If I was trying to compile, say, a Qt application on a Linux system, half of the headers and libraries would have been preinstalled on the system, as well as GCC. The Qt develop package may or may not be preinstalled, but would also constitute a pretty hefty chunk of dependencies. With Javascript, you're basically pulling down an entire compiler+linker+libraries chain for each project, which is both good and bad.

Got some pointers for you. First, I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React and related topics, at [0]. As part of that list, I have a page called "Basic Overviews" [1], which has articles that try to help clarify what these various tools are, how they fit together, and what you would use them for. There's also a couple articles in that section that give advice for how to tackle learning front-end stuff, and not be overwhelmed. As for React specifically, there's an official tool from the React team called Create-React-App [2]. It hides the details and complexity of project config from you until you're ready to tackle them yourself, and lets you focus on just writing the app. Meanwhile, the React docs were just revamped and improved [3]. There's also a great community called Reactiflux on Discord, whi

ch is a set of chat channels dedicated to talking about React, Javascript, and React-related tools [4]. It's a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn. Finally, part of what's going on here is that people are trying to write highly complex and powerful applications in the browser, not just "pages" with some interactivity. Complex applications mean some meaningful amount of complexity in the project setup. These tools are basically the web equivalent of a C++ compiler toolchain and standard library. So, there's several aspects here: the tools are somewhat big, the libraries are sophisticated to enable you to manage your application's complexity, and your own app code is going to be more than just a couple click handlers. The other thing to remember is that you don't have to use everything all at once right away. Focus on learning one or two tools and concepts at a time. Hopefully this helps!
