Advent of FoC Day 6: Reactive Codebooks with TypeCell

Welcome to the 6th day of Advent of Future of Code

The Task

Today we are going to play with TypeCell: A live notebook environment for Typescript with React support.

TypeCell is a notebook where code evaluates as-you-type, so you get feedback instantly. It comes with a built-in Reactive programming model, so working with data becomes a lot simpler. React and JSX support make it easy to build quick visualizations or interactive elements.

To complete the task go through Introduction to TypeCell Codebooks and record / write up your experience and thoughts! This tutorial should be a good first intro to get used to working with TypeCell.

Resources

  • Project Author on Twitter: @YousefED (be kind)
  • There will be a thread for this task in the #share-your-work channel at the Future of Coding Slack

Rule Reminder

You should try to setup the project and complete the task, you can go further if you want.

Deliverable

  • A video recording of you going through the whole process "thinking out loud"
  • A transcription/notes/blogpost/twitter thread of the experience

Do

  • Tell what's your thinking process
  • Explain when / where you get stuck, confused or frustrated
  • Explain when something surprises you
  • Explain if a thing reminds you of something else (for better or worse)
  • Keep it positive and constructive

Don't

  • Say things you wouldn't say face to face
  • Tell how it should be fixed
  • Propose features or changes
  • Tell them to rewrite it in Rust
  • Highlight superfluous details that don't affect the task at hand (Unless requested by the project)

And above all, have fun!
