JSter #59 - React Indie Bundle is here!

|DATE:d/m/y|

JavaScript can feed your cats/dogs/people.

Things are going pretty solidly with my React book. It reached version 1.9.10 (http://survivejs.com/blog/survivejs1910/) with a nice amount of tweaks. There are still some coming as I want to improve the book while keeping it up to date.

I gave a presentation about it a while ago. In case you want to have an inside look at what it takes to write an indie book, feel free to go through my slides (https://survivejs.github.io/how-to-write-a-book-and-survivejs-it) . The presentation digs more into the business side of things and it’s a side you don’t often get to see.

** React Indie Bundle

The bigger news is that we published React Indie Bundle (http://www.reactindiebundle.com/) . The bundle will be available for this week and my book is a part of it. It includes books, videos, and a bit of consulting on the higher tiers.

If you want to pick up something to do during the holidays, perhaps the bundle would work. It’s also a fine present if you are into that sort of thing.

This is a good chance to support indie work. We even give a part of our earnings to tool and library authors. After all, it’s those guys that enable everything in the first place.
