Excellent summary of JavaScript “object oriented” programming. Basically it’s different from other languages. Learn its differences. A lot of common “best practices” are actually not that best.

There’s to much ceremony in a typical Redux app. Lots of files and folders, reducers, actions, constants etc. but really a lot of that could be handled in single files, one for each area of concern. Here’s one person’s attempt at standardising this convention.

What is Simple (ie not heavily interconnected) is not necessarily Easy (ie something that is close to my current skill set).

Rich Hickey, the creator of the Clojure programming language, is always an interesting speaker. This talk is from about five years ago.

Marble diagrams are a simple way of visualising RxJS streams. More importantly, because they’re​ represented as text strings, they can form a simple assertion representation for unit testing.

redux-observable

This is a similar approach to “sagas” in the redux-saga middleware but it uses RxJS and they call these processing systems “epics” instead. I have to say I am warming to RxJS generally because of the importance of asynchronous activity in the inputs and outputs of modern apps. Where this one is particularly interesting is in its close integration and harmony with the Redux based architecture.
