The Reader monad and read-only context
In this two-part series, I want to take a functional approach to building React applications.

Don't Fear the Type System
There’s been a lot of talk about static types recently. I’ve especially noticed that folks who usually work with dynamically typed languages have become big proponents of static typing – and I count myself amongst them.
Additional Guidelines For (Redux) Project Structure
In this series we are looking at code organization in the context of a React and Redux application. The takeaways for the “Three Rules” presented here should be applicable to any application, not just React/Redux.
Why You Need Types
Dynamically typed languages like JavaScript provide a lot of expressiveness and power to the programmer. By not having to think about strict types, a program is more maleable since it will run no matter what, allowing the programmer to write code very quickly.
Three Rules For Structuring (Redux) Applications
In this series we are looking at code organization in the context of a React and Redux application. The takeaways for the “Three Rules” presented here should be applicable to any application, not just React/Redux.
The Anatomy Of A React & Redux Module (Applying The Three Rules)
In this series we are looking at code organization in the context of a React and Redux application. The takeaways for the “Three Rules” presented here should be applicable to any application, not just React/Redux.
The Little Idea of Functional Programming
A little known fact about me is that I took Wing Chun lessons for four months back in 2006. A student starting in Wing Chun will begin by learning the first form, called Siu Lim Tao (小練頭). This form’s name translates to “little idea,” and it provides the foundation in which succeeding forms and techniques depend upon.
Managing Side Effects In React + Redux Using Sagas
Redux is a Flux-like framework that has exploded in popularity within the React community. It reduces complexity by enforcing a unidirectional data flow, the use of single state atom, and pure reduce functions for state updates.
Avoid Unnecessary Indirection
In programming, indirection is the ability to hold references to something, as opposed to the value itself. In object-oriented programming, indirection is used for dynamic dispatch and delegation.
