Weekly Digest #11: On technical Interviews

Technical interviews are not a walk in the park! There are a lot of steps, challenges and pressure in a super competitive market.

Learning Path: Getting started with React

Not long ago I started learning React. I have more than 10 years of experience using JS and before React I was actively coding in first wave generation web frameworks (like knockoutJS) and starting to get a grasp on components architecture (but using KO components + web components). Today I am coding entirely in React (both at work and for personal projects) and it’s been great. I love the community, there are a lot of projects & learning resources and I also found React to be a fast way of creating web applications. 

In this post I want to share some resources that helped me learn React and I hope they are useful for anyone starting out there.
