Every day is a JavaScript day.
I’ve been working hard on my book about Webpack and React. Both are emerging technologies and this has been a good time to put something together on those just for the experience alone.
The book reached an important milestone with its 1.5 release (http://survivejs.com/blog/survivejs-15/) . Check the free online edition out. You can get fresh news related to the book through its mailing list (http://eepurl.com/bth1v5) so free free to subscribe.
