Learning about functional programming. It changed how I think about writing code by exposing me to new ideas and shining a light on my own bad habits picked up while learning by doing without understanding.

this was actually the first resource I used and, while it got me off the ground, I strongly prefer Dan Abramov's egghead course that I linked above. That is the path to redux enlightenment!

It's a shame that, instead of seeing themselves as a protocol, twitter decided they were another "P" word: platform. I think Twitter could have become ubiquitous, like Facebook or email, had it not gone the platform route and

This. If your component hierarchy matches your application state hierarchy, don't use flux. If you need to pass pieces of state around to a bunch of different components (like sharing state across views), use flux. My first react appli

It's not that simple. I can swap out Angular for React + Redux in my application without my backend knowing about it. The same is not true of React + Relay + GraphQL. It's a bigger, more involved decision that doesn't strike
