Application Foundation

ARc - Open source boilerplate react implementation

• Can support SSR
• Makes use of 'experimental' webpack features that result in some slick convention over configuration code, but at the expense of testability.
• Requries more expertise, not widely adopted across industry.

Create-React-App - Facebook supported zero configuration SPA application.

What are some definitions of a user story

User stories are short, simple descriptions of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer of the system. They typically follow a simple template:

​ As a , I want so that .

User stories are often written on index cards or sticky notes, stored in a shoe box, and arranged on walls or tables to facilitate planning and discussion. As such, they strongly shift the focus from writing about features to discussing them. In fact, these discussions are more important than whatever text is written.

Software Development Cookbook

I sometimes like to compare the tools a software developer prefers to the way a chef might have particular ingredients that he prefers to use when cooking a meal. Sure a chef may use a wide variety of ingredients depedning on what the meal calls for, but they have opinions and preferences towards certain ingredients over others. Software developers are not that different. They often prefer a set of tools and ingredients when building applications. Reusing the same tools and ingredients helps developers become more efficient in building applications.

For years I was a developer focused on .net development. However in recent times I've gravitated towards javascript. Once node was born and we could now use javascript on the server becoming a 'full stack' developer seemed much more palpable. Today we can write cross platform desktop applications using electron, native mobile applications with [react-native](https://facebook.github.io/react-nativ
