Lin Clark - A Cartoon Intro to Fiber - React Conf 2017

For those who are interested in some of the details of the work that's going on, Lin Clark's recent talk on "A Cartoon Intro to Fiber" at ReactConf 2017 is excellent [0]. There's a number of other existing writeups and resources on how Fiber works [1] as well. The roadmap for 15.5 and 16.0 migration is at [2], and the follow-up issue discussing the plan for the "addons" packages is at [3]. I'll also toss out my usual reminder that I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React, Redux, and related topics, at [link] . Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem, as well as a solid source of good info on more advanced topics. Finally, the Reactiflux chat channels on Discord are a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn. The invite link is at [link] . [0] [this video] [1] [link] [2] [link] [3] [link]

I'll repeat the comment I made in the "React 15.5" thread a couple weeks ago ( [link] ): For those who are interested in some of the details of the work that's going on, Lin Clark's recent talk on "A Cartoon Intro to Fiber" at ReactConf 2017 is excellent [0].

Yeah, the React team takes backwards compatibility very seriously. They did finally drop some deprecated methods from the main package in React 16, but made them available as separate packages, and even wrote codemods to automatically replace usages. I can recommend several resources for understanding the changes in React 16: - Lin Clark's fantastic ReactConf presentation on "A Cartoon Intro to Fiber": [this video] - The official announcements for React 16: [link] and [link] - A good summary of the major changes: [link] - Two articles looking at the user-facing features and changes: [link] and [link]

typo in the title - its Abramov not Ambramov It's interesting that Lin Clark basically demoed Time Slicing a -year- ago at ReactConf: [this video] and in the first 10 mins of Dan's talk you see basically the same thing with user interaction applied. createFetcher is brand new and here's the metaconversation on Twitter/Github: [link] and [link] with a couple implementations here ( [link] ) and here ( [link] ) // style discussion below one thing I really appreciate about this talk is hard it is to even communicate asynchronous problems and the solutions to them. Personally the lagging animationFrame clock display (for time slicing) and the loading state devtools (for "react suspense") were actually the bigger "wow" moments. (Yes I know this talk is not about the tools or the charts) he does another thing I'm a fan of - starting with a question. this helps frame the rest of the talk: explaining why the question is a big deal, breaking the question down, proposing some solutions, showing how the solutions answer the question. bottom line - there's more to learn from this talk than just React.
