Continuing my series on Rescript, I add a couple React components to the ongoing app I’ve been developing.
As a functional language, Rescript maps beautifully to redux-style state management, without all the boilerplate
Continuing my journey to learn Rescript using a real-world react-app. In this article, we create some new components.
I recently discovered the Rescript programming language and am really excited about it. I haven’t found many tutorials on the subject, so I’m documenting my steps as I go.

Part 6: Local Development
This is part 6 in my series on the order to study topics related to programming. This series aims to provide a gentle path to follow as you explore this fascinating field. The goal is not so much to get you a job in the field, but to help you to take on a new hobby.

Part 4: Binary, bits, and bytes
This is part 4 of my series on the order to study topics related to programming. This series aims to give people a gentle path to follow in order to be able to dabble in this field. It is oriented toward people who are easily frustrated and therefore give up quickly.
Whenever I start a new hobby web project, I just want to jump in and start coding.
Instead, I spend many many hours trying to get authentication to work. I’ve got half a dozen half-finished “boilerplate” projects lying around that were supposed to satisfy the desire of, “next time, I can use this boilerplate and authentication will just work.” It never does.
One thing I know I don’t want to do is manage my own auth database anymore. It’s too risky, and keeping a Django (for example) instance patched and up-to-date is more devops overhead than I’m interested in.

Part 3: SQL Basics
It’s not common to see SQL as the next language taught after HTML. Most authors would jump to a full-fledged structured programming language like Python or Javascript instead. There are a few reasons that I think SQL is a better next choice. While it’s a lot more complicated tool than the formatting languages you’ve been working with, SQL is designed for a specific purpose and is therefore not as overwhelming as a general purpose programming language. It also uses an English-like language that might be more familiar than those other languages. In fact, it was originally designed for use by non-programming business people, although it never achieved that goal.

Part 2: HTML
This is the second in a series on the order to study topics related to programming. There are countless resources out there for learning to code, so many that it becomes overwhelming to decide where to start. The goal of this series is to help you get introduced to the topic as gently as possible. I’m not writing the instructional content on each topic, but giving pointers to the resources you need to accomplish each section.
