| Unlocking the structure of your React applications with the AST | Gurdas Nijor | 28m |
Claim: React components are effectively pure functions of props and state so build‑time AST transforms can add real tooling. Implementation uses Esprima to… | ||

| react-router increases your productivity | Michael J. I. Jackson | 32m |
React Router is a React routing library that actually maps UI flows to URLs and ships working code: over 1,000 commits and community contributors, examples… | ||
| Full Stack Flux (was" The future of JavaScript layout systems") | Pete Hunt | 33m |
Argues for running Flux on the server: every update becomes a replayable message log and stores act like a store-as-reducer that persist derived state, letting… | ||
| Making your app fast with high-performance components | Jason Bonta | 30m |
Offers concrete, measurable tactics: use pure render mixin and immutable data (Immutable.js or disciplined reuse) so shallow referential checks skip work… | ||
| Format data and strings in any language with FormatJS and react-intl | Eric Ferraiuolo | 28m |
FormatJS plus react-intl provides concrete formatting: 7KB gzipped library with react-intl components (FormattedNumber, FormattedDate, FormattedRelative… | ||
| Hype! | Ryan Florence | 31m |
Live demos show a production DBMON monitoring 100 database clusters where React keeps scrolling and popups smooth while Ember leaks memory and Angular… | ||
| React Native | Christopher Chedeau | 30m |
React Native shows a concrete architecture: real JavaScript runs on JSCore and V8, UI is native components wired over an asynchronous bridge, and the layout… | ||
| The complementarity of React and Web Components | Andrew Rota | 26m |
Claims that React and Web Components combine: use custom elements and Shadow DOM as leaf DOM nodes, keep components tiny, stateless, encapsulated, and watch… | ||
| Immutable Data and React | Lee Byron | 31m |
Persistent immutable data structures power fast equality checks and memoization by returning new versions instead of mutating, implemented with structural… | ||
| Beyond the DOM "How Netflix plans to enhance your television experience" | Jafar Husain | 26m |
Netflix claims React works without the DOM and shows how it hooks React into a low‑level rendering layer, using a Gibbon canvas‑like API to replace slow WebKit… | ||

Panel explains concrete tradeoffs: Relay and GraphQL aim at large apps while Flux stays general; Power Editor keeps data fetching in stores across 106 stores… | ||
| Codecademy's approach to component communication | Bonnie Eisenman | 24m |
Codecademy rebuilds its entire learning environment in React and replaces callback soup with a small meta-programmed system of adapters that listen for… | ||
| Static typing with Flow and TypeScript | James Brantly | 32m |
Shows exactly how Flow and TypeScript behave with React: converts a small image‑viewer app, uses webpack and a precompile step to strip or transform JSX, and… | ||
