If you're at React Summit (or JS Nation) in Amsterdam in a week, hit me up!
At the session 💻@barklund, Frontend dev team lead, will go over several common best-practice-proven #TypeScript patterns to use in #React 18. This includes how to correctly type component properties, children & return types, using React built-in types, typing contexts etc.

And we're back to editing chapters based on feedback. All the way back to chapter 1 now, I almost forgot what I put there. It's great to come back with fresh eyes. xitter.cf/barklund/status/158503… – at Copenhagen, Denmark

Manning is excellent at feedback I must say, and the book is getting so much extra value from it! I have detailed input from dozens of reviewers already, and the book is heading out to even more reviewers in a few weeks (once I've applied what I've already learned)! – at Copenhagen, Denmark

And with that chapters 1 through 18 are ready in at least first draft status. Actually chapters 1 through 13 has been published on MEAP so they're a lot further in the pipeline. The end is nigh, as they say. xitter.cf/barklund/status/157888… – at Copenhagen, Denmark
