This Month in React

Reactiflux, with Mark Erikson and Carl Vitulloreactiflux.com
How busy professionals stay on top of the React ecosystem. We give you a 1 hour recap of the latest news and nuance in React's development and ecosystem, the web dev labor market, upcoming conferences, and open source releases. New episodes the first week of every month, with live recordings on the last Wednesday of every month in the Reactiflux stage. Hosted by friends and veterans of the community, Mark Erikson and Carl Vitullo. They've been driving forces in the Reactiflux Discord since 2015. Mark brings his many years maintaining Redux, and Carl his experience at a half-dozen startups.
