Designing and building embedded UIs

Notes on study skills, meta-cognition, and how organizations learn — distilled from a vacation spent reading about learning

If Pure UI gave teams a shared language for display states, what’s the same idea for an interface’s behavior — a case for making control state explicit

Let’s escape the day-to-day to survey what’s coming next

I gave a talk at tonight’s ReactJS Denver meetup about Preact

Or: what Souders’ books didn’t tell you because it only happened in the last two years

And some suggestions from a complete outsider

Or: what is Concurrent ML all about?

How the virtual dom actually gets rendered to the DOM

What makes React’s component model — composable, stateful, declarative — actually work, and how Preact implements both class-based and functional components

An introduction and gentle first steps in a series where we’ll read the Preact codebase and try to completely understand it

An open question: when a service worker caches the header but streams the body, how do you keep CSS and markup from drifting?

Flow’s exhaustiveness checking has a gap — but a cast to `empty` gets you the behavior the type system can’t quite express

Videos and slides from a two-part introductory talk on React and then Om, given to the DC-area Clojure user group

First impressions of David Nolen’s Om — a thin ClojureScript wrapper over React — after building a small map-styling app over Christmas

How I went from no topic to a JSConf community-track talk in four weeks — and why you should try it too

What Ivan Sutherland’s 1963 thesis still has to teach us — method dispatch, prototypical inheritance, and constraint-driven UI

MV* frameworks handle stateless event bindings well, but drag-and-drop and other multi-step interactions want state machines

Wrapping async dependencies with a higher-order function, so callers can keep treating a method as fire-and-forget
