"Redux forces you to write good code" - I've heard that sentence many times.
In fact - it's quite easy to write bad code with Redux, as I've seen many times.

In this talk I will show some bad practices and techniques with Redux, and how to avoid them.

React Native 2017 roadmap

Don't get confused by the name this is not by any mean a roadmap for React Native. Just something what I would like to see happen.

I started working with React Native soon after it was open-sourced by Facebook. Since then the small experimental project grew a lot. Thanks to 1140 contributors, many of us can build cross platform native apps for iOS and Android with zero or a little knowledge of Objective C and/or Java. A few years ago I didn’t even think that with just web dev experience I could jump and make an app which will be working on iPhone and Android devices.

In this post, I’d like to focus on the things that we can do to make React Native even better.

Please don’t treat this as a rant, these are the things which I find that could be improved.

import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import MyComponent from '../src/my-component';

const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent/>);

describe('(Component) MyComponent', () => {
  it('renders without exploding', () => {
    expect(wrapper).to.have.length(1);
  });

SurviveJS - Webpack and React - The Story So Far

Given I'm a first time author I've done my fair share of mistakes with SurviveJS - Webpack and React. It was an attempt to change the direction of my career. Being a subcontractor's subcontractor provides income, sure, but was a dead end for me with no room to grow in an economy that keeps getting tougher. Interestingly the book has garnered a lot of attention and I believe some have found it useful. It has been bit of a disaster economically and it's hard to imagine I could keep a business like this up for long if something doesn't change.

Why SurviveJS - Webpack and React Was Written?

The first steps towards the book were taken at the end of January. I happened upon [a blog post about Webpack by Christian Alfoni](https://christianalfoni.github.io/javascript/2014/12/13/did-you-know-webpack-and-react-is-awesome.htm
