The introduction to React you've been missing - Kent C. Dodds

[@Lambdaphile]

This is not a bad introduction for beginners (not very practical IMO) but it's really good for ppl who already know React. It really makes you think deeper about the technology.

[@arthurboss.youtube]

This video was perfectly named. Amazing simple and straight forward explanation. It is rare to find people who narrow down what seems complex into something that isn't complicated anymore. Great job!

[@Nonsense116]

not only did I get an incredible intro to react, but I also understand what Babel is. Thank you so much!

Imagine standing up to do that stretch without knowing that 15,000 plus people would be staring at your neck

[@activefun2992]

Why append to the root rather than the body (12:02)? Just modularity or some other reason?

Whats the name of the chrome extension to show that new tab window ?

[@Nonsense116]

for some reason I read this as "what in the name of chrome extension is that tab." I had a good laugh there.

[@ProSandlin]

He mentions it in this video I think kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXKslax4e62ZjLc

[@HT61867]

@@ProSandlin hey do you know the name of the chrome extension he used in that video?

[@anomanonymous4648]

Can anyone tell the name of vscode theme

[@gouravsingh9146]

Yeah anybody?

[@orbanbalage]

It seems to be a modified Night Owl / Night Owl Black

[@orbanbalage]

and the font is MonoLisa with the Script Variant enabled for the handwritten effect for some letters

[@michaelnewman2993]

Fantastic stuff

[@activefun2992]

Why does he say everyone loves a class named container at 12:51? Is it just a common name or is he referring to something?

[@bababooeybababooey]

It is a very common name

[@nishantjain2975]

Yeah. People coming from bootstrap library and in general any other library / framework, use this quite a lot.

[@zw7484]

very inspiring

"it has an underscore so we cannot access it, nah, its just convention because javascript is funny." I would have said a lot worse than "funny" but sure, funny will do.

Nice! Imagine if every speaker asked the audience to stretch like this! 😅

[@niyacodes]

That's really nice intro to react.

[@edgeeffect]

I came here to find out about React and left before the callisthenics were over!

[@DennisAllard]

The speaker asked the audience a question "how many of you are being paid to write react every day?" But he does not share the answer. Same comment for his questions about how many people have programmed in jQuery and how many people have supported IE8 etc. in the presentation he asks that question of the audience and then all he says is "wow". The talk doesn't really start until about minute six. fwiw

[@dontdoit6986]

Informative but meandering. This talk spent much more time discussing JSX, with the tag rendered by a single react function. How many REACT developers are using JSX?

[@hugodsa89]

All of them

[@jokinglimitreached1503]

Not the best intro for React, but better than nothing. A lot of time wasted, and code not organized clearly. Useful babel tips, though
