Re... ducks?
- reducer = (state, action) => state
- react-redux
- inject state and action creators as props
- when state changes, re-render
const ADD_TODO = 'ADD_TODO'
{
type: ADD_TODO,
text: 'Create example action for talk'
}
// a typical redux action

Re: Write a book on Redux!
Yeah, sure!
Writing the outline...
Editorial board outline feedback
So I presented the outline to our publisher, who gives the final approval on the outline.
The publisher liked your outline and feels your style is best suited for a tutorial book, Learning Redux.
Legal stuff...

Editing process...

What I learned...
Learning 1
there is a lot that you don't know...
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
(Albert Einstein)
...well enough to explain
Learning 2
there are many ways to approach a problem...
...find the best way to explain a concept
...but, keep it easy to understand
Learning 3
deadlines are important...
...especially when they are enforced

editing process is tough, but useful...
...it makes the book consistent
there are many people involved...
...so you have to make compromises
...and be receptive to feedback
Learning 5
use a good tool!
first I used Word...
I use LaTeX for my thesis...
:(
then I used the publisher's webapp...
