📘 That book about React - full app example

The start of the year was full steam ahead in writing that book about React. Still have not decided about the final title, but what do you think about naming it exactly like so: "That book about React" ?

I want to add some full and useful apps to the book. I've finished a full chapter on how to make rock-paper-scissors with React. You can see a video of the exampe here.

Each step has a lot of visual explanations and is detailed within its own codesandox. Check out a demo sample of the book below.

🏝 Some non-coding things

As the weather is horrible way too cold to spend too much time outdoors, and our daughter is too small to travel, watching movies and video games were the main fun activities.

A big recommendation for the movie 🎞 Ferrari, and 🎮 Huntdown a fun retro plaformer.

Also, found myself listening quite often to Shingo Nakamura.

Well, that's all folks! Be smart, be kind, and keep coding!
