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...

there is a lot that you don't know...

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

...find the best way to explain a concept

...but, keep it easy to understand

Learning 3
