- The Future of React with Christopher Chedeau“When I started React Native, everyone I talked to was like you need the primitives to be platform specific, otherwise this is too crazy, everyone’s tried the cross-platform dream – it doesn’t work.”
React Native is leading to a future where a developer can build native experiences on web, iOS and Android platforms without having to write 3x the code.
Christopher Chedeau is an engineer at Facebook who works on the React team.
Questions- What is the big picture of the future that Facebook is building towards with its open source projects?
- Why is mobile a step back for developer organizations?
- What was the motivation to build Nuclide?
- Do you have to use XCode for iOS development using React Native?
- How has open source been so successful at Facebook?
- How has your experience been organizing React Conf?
- Do people in developing countries use Facebook in different ways?

1 hr 2 min - Training Software Engineers with David Yang and Nimit Maru“Javascript is like English – it hitched itself to the most powerful horse in the history of mankind, the web, and it has really exploded since then.”
Fullstack Academy is a 13-week immersive program for students to learn software engineering. Their flagship course focuses primarily on Javascript and the associated frameworks used to build real-world web applications.
David Yang and Nimit Maru are the Co-founders of Fullstack Academy. They were part of the Y Combinator summer 2012 class.
Questions- How did you get the idea to start Fullstack Academy?
- Why do you teach Javascript as the foundational language?
- How does Fullstack Academy differ from other coding bootcamps?
- When you first applied to Y Combinator, what did your product do?
- What is your vision for the endgame of Fullstack Academy?

53 min - Fluxxor and the Flux Architecture with Brandon TilleyThe Flux architecture is a compelling alternative to the model-view-controller pattern for building modern web applications.
Fluxxor is a set of tools for building JavaScript data layers using the Flux architecture. It was one of the earliest open-source implementations of Flux.
Brandon Tilley is a software engineer who works at The Minerva Project. He is the creator of Fluxxor.
Questions- Is Flux a replacement for model-view-controller?
- What are the hazards of MVC?
- Why did you write Fluxxor?
- Why are there so many Flux implementations?
- Is the pace of web development accelerating?

54 min - Flux, Redux, and React Hot Loader with Dan AbramovFlux’s one way data flow solves several problems of MVC, but its complexity can be reduced in some cases.
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript to use with React or any other view library.
Dan Abramov currently works full time on Redux, React Hot Loader, and React Transform.
Questions- How does Redux compare to Flux?
- How does Flux differ from MVC?
- How did Erlang and Elm inspire your work?
- Why is React closely associated with functional programming techniques?
