Taming Large React Applications with Redux

In this talk, Joel will introduce concepts that make large React applications more scalable and maintainable. You will learn the benefits of Redux - a predictable, single-way data flow model - as he walks through sample code and best practices, like a "top down approach." You’ll walk away with what you need to know to architect a React application with all the patterns that help it scale well with your team. We will cover bootstrapping a modern React application with react-boilerplate (http://reactboilerplate.com (http://reactboilerplate.com/)) and using libraries like redux-saga and reselect to improve code re-use, removing coupling, and reducing complexity.

Since then, he has been laser-focused on frontend development, primarily with React and Angular. He also contributes to open source projects and moonlights as a consultant with his brother where they work with small businesses to create modern dashboard applications.
