The Virtues of Immutability, with React.js and Immutable.js
This talk will an intro to Persistent (Immutable) Data Structures, what they are and why they're awesome. We'll then look at React.js, how their approach of building a "Virtual DOM" is such a different take on UI than other traditional JavaScript frameworks. Finally, it will show how combining the two provides huge benefits in both perf and consistency when building robust user interfaces, with numerous real-world examples.
