As a software engineer you will come to a point where writing matters. Perhaps you want to leave your fellow developers a note, you have to write an e-mail to a customer or you have to sum up the recent meeting notes. In my case, it went even further because I have my own website where I write about software development and where I started to…
The following document is only a cheatsheet which summarises the steps you need to take to setup your own website. On purpose it's called technical, because you will not use a content management system (CMS) like Wordpress. It doesn't claim to be complete nor to guide you exhaustively through the whole process. After all it should only give you…
Sometimes I feel it's quite obvious, but I never saw it somewhere written down. The article is my attempt to show you a way to organize your state with state keys .

The Redux Ducks: Restructure your Redux App with Ducks tutorial will teach you how to bundle action creators, action types and reducers side by side in your Redux app. Usually in the beginning of learning Redux you have a technical separation of concerns which gets reflected in the folder structure. Basically there is one folder for your actions…
The Flow: Type Checking with Flow in React + Redux tutorial will teach you how to use Flow in a React + Redux environment. Since JavaScript itself is a dynamically typed language, you will end up with several bugs in your JavaScript career, which could have been prevented due type safety. In terms of using Flow for type safety, it only needs a…
In the beginning of 2016 it was time for me to deep dive into the ReactJs world. I read tons of articles about React and its environment, especially Redux, so far. Several of my colleagues used it in side projects and on a theoretical level I could participate in the discussions. In my company we relied heavily on Angular 1 at this point. Since…
Components become more important these days. In the future you will get to hear more and more about Web Components, which get available in Angular 2.0 as well, to create different reusable components.
