react.js resources & notes

react.js

bullet point brain dump

  • react is a frontend javascript library created at facebook to simplify the creation of interactive UI components.
  • in the MVC model of the world it is the view layer.
  • one way dataflow to simplify the application logic and better understand what is causing what to happen.
  • paired with the flux libraby for more complex data & interaction models
  • plays nice with frameworks like backbone and angular
  • has serverside rendering to load a page with data & continue updating changes

My elixir notes

What is elixir

  • functional programming language
  • data is imutable
  • key philosophy is everything runs around data transformations not mutating and managing state
    • pass returned value from function to function never changing the value of the original input
  • funcitons should take an input & always return the same value like a math formula
  • uses pattern matching for function calling
    • used to assign variables in the function
    • multiple function declerations and determines what version shold get called based on the params matching

Part 1 of my submission for the shapes portion of the 1st assignment of FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING IN ERLANG THE UNIVERSITY OF KENT
-module(shapes).
-export([area/1, enclose/1, perimeter/1, tests/0]).
% The area, enclose , and perimeter functions each take a tuple
% formatted {shape, {dimensions}}. The functions pattern match
% against the shape atom and use the dimensions to do the calculations.
% At the bottom of the file there is a test/0 function that
% calls functions to test the math of the various calculations
