I was in a small local mexican restaurant(with a little bar) once called Via Sombrero…they claimed to have the “best margaritas in town”…well..maybe the strongest…anyway I was sitting next to a fellow and the conversation drifted to New Orleans..where he was from..so I said “New Orleans…I always wanted to go”…he put down his best margarita and said to me..”it’s Nawlons…if you’re gonna say it..say it right…well…I have looked at a LOT of node books…and this one written by Jim R. Wilson who works at Google..looks to me like a good one..cause…if you are gonna do node…do it right..

Like everyone else, I see that React is taking the world by storm or so it would seem. I heard a Ruby Rogues podcast by DHH and he said:
“Still not a big fan on the framework side of things…React’s approach is sound but pairing up with redux..well is more convoluted and self-congratulatory in its complexity than anything I have seen since the dark ages of J2EE…and we have spent two decades on separation of concerns, and now react just says…Hey..lets put it all in the same box….that said…I found that a lot of the problems the new javascript technologies propose to solve are not problems that I have…”
I think I am going to wait till the hype dies down when and if I see a practical application. Not saying its bad or good, only that maybe its too much sugar for a dime as they say. Time will tell.
