- Which assignments did you choose to complete this week?
- The Plan
- Community Involvment
- Why did you choose these assignments?
- I chose the the community involvment because I feel that being part of a community is what will help me get a job and also keep me engaged.
- Currently, I have followed along with one React Tutorial and contributed to a React app (LookingFor). I have also written a blog post on a architecture that works really well with React called Flux.
- Success for me would be when I have a working app that is all in React. It would be thoroughly tested, probably using the enzyme testing suite. It will follow the the flux pattern.
- Outline
- Finish the React for Beginners tutorial
- Continue listening to the React Podcasts
- Continue reading blog posts about React
- Sign up for Egghead learning videos. These videos come straight from the React team.
- Rebuild IdeaBox in React
