Things that programmers don't know but should

(A book that I might eventually write!)

Gary Bernhardt

I imagine each of these chapters being about 2,000 words, making the whole book about the size of a small novel. For comparison, articles in large papers like the New York Times average about 1,200 words. Each topic gets whatever level of detail I can fit into that space. For simple topics, that's a lot of space: I can probably walk through a very basic, but working, implementation of the IP protocol.

Cake's approach to React Router server rendering w/code splitting and Redux

Can't share the complete code because the app's closed source and still in stealth mode, but here's how I'm using React Router and Redux in a large app with server rendering and code splitting on routes.

Server

  1. Wildcard Express route configures a Redux store for each request and makes an addReducers() callback available to the getComponents() method of each React Router route. Each route is responsible for adding any Redux reducers it needs when it's loaded. (This isn't really necessary on the
