He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects. The trick? Deep Work!

Show notes

Colby Fayock, lead developer, book author and speaker, joins the React Round Up team to discuss why developers should focus on more than just leveling up their JavaScript skills.

RRU 123: React Query, React Table, the TanStack and More with Tanner Linsley Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of React Round Up, Tanner Linsley, co-founder of startup Nozzle.io, and most known lately for his OSS project React Query, joins the panel today to discuss how he was inspired to create React Query to simplify data-fetching and state management in React applications. Just a few months after releasing React Query to the dev community, it’s already making waves and garnering the attention of notable React thought leaders and large companies alike, and part of the secret to Tanner’s success is that the majority of his popular OSS projects come from him needing to solve a need for his company, Nozzle.io. Learn about if React Query (or other projects) might be something to incorporate into your own React applications, as well as tips for getting involved in (and making the case for) working on OSS projects.

RRU 119: Building Web and Mobile Apps with Ely Lucas Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

Ionic’s own Ely Lucas joins the React Round Up panel to discuss building the Ionic framework to work with React under the hood. Ely talks through how the team’s been hard at work making Ionic easy to pick up for any JavaScript developer with experience in React, as well as some of the benefits it can provide over straight React or React Native. Some of the biggest benefits are having just one shared codebase to power iOS, Android, Electron and PWAs, access to React Hooks and over 100 ready-to-use, easy to customize UI components on install. If you’ve heard about Ionic but want to learn more about it, and it’s newest offering Ionic React, this is the episode for you. Panel
