Reminds me of the book "Build Your Own AngularJS" from a couple of years ago. - https://teropa.info/build-your-own-angular/ Old now, but still worth reading IMHO as you learn a lot.

HN discussionI love these kind of things too and link to them frequently from my audio-themed newsletter ( http://webaudioweekly.com ). I'm particularly fond of Tero Parviainen's interactive explorations of generative music, for example: https://teropa.info/blog/2017/01/23/terry-rileys-in-c.html

HN discussionWhile AngularJS is outdated, this book helped me understand how these frameworks do their job behind the scenes: https://teropa.info/build-your-own-angular/ Also, thank you for posting this question, these are the kind of books that I yearn for when I want to understand how something works!

HN discussionYou are On. The. Money. When I first started dabbling in web programming a few years ago, I quickly learned about jQuery from SO while looking up common patterns to create the behaviors I wanted in the browser. But even accounting for my unfamiliarity with the browser paradigm, jQuery always rubbed me the wrong way because of how loosely structured it allowed you to be and the amount of leaky scope it encouraged.

HN discussion> It would only increase the concept count in an educational setting where you want to only show the thing you're trying to explain. As someone who has written a long tutorial, this makes total sense. When I was first looking at the react ecosystem, it was very frustrating because of the high cost of picking pieces to work together. I really liked http://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutorial... becau…

HN discussionThe fact that you'd consider making that switch is just awesome to me, so thanks! :) For resources, theres a great site here as an intro to generative systems - https://teropa.info/loop/ And for communities, I have made a Discord for Flowful where I plan to post updates and how-its-made type stuff. The link is in the top right of the Flowful app, feel free to join!
