Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

Slides

You can find the slides to my talk here, the links to Anton Sport have been removed as the site isn't quite ready for the public yet.

Libraries

React
React Router
Jest
Flux
Reflux - Stores and Actions
Webpack

$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server
$ open http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/

Notes:

Note the trailing slash on the URL is significant. Without it webpack-dev-server shows a file listing page.
You need 1.0.11 or later of webpack-dev-middleware for this URL to work. With earlier versions you need to specify the full URL like this: http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/index.html.
To get a non-autoreloading version of the page use http://localhost:8080/index.html.
