Hey everybody, I'm Pete.

00:00:29.621 --> 00:00:33.581
So, who is exited for some big O-notation in the morning?

00:00:34.655 --> 00:00:36.995
Alright, alright, so we gonna get to that.

00:00:37.312 --> 00:00:39.377
but before we do

00:00:39.377 --> 00:00:41.008
i'm just gonna say I'm Pete.

00:00:41.018 --> 00:00:43.959
I work at Facebook on the Instagram team


00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.801
and I'm a contribute to a library called react

00:00:46.801 --> 00:00:51.966
which you may have heard is the one that puts the 
angle brackets in your javascript

00:00:52.186 --> 00:00:57.958
.. but, I'm not gonna really talk to much of that 
React and why it is so awesome because

00:00:57.958 --> 00:01:00.007
that's not the interesting part

00:01:00.007 --> 00:01:02.388
what I wanna talk about the ideas behind React

00:01:02.388 --> 00:01:05.678
and React is a reference implementation of those ideas.

00:01:06.528 --> 00:01:08.378
So. This isn't a turial

00:01:08.675 --> 00:01:12.289
and I give a focus on ideas and not implementations.

00:01:12.315 --> 00:01:14.500
So. I'm gonna talk about the ideas behind react

00:01:14.531 --> 00:01:16.769
Some ideas behind other systems

00:01:16.769 --> 00:01:18.546
how they're a different kind a

00:01:18.546 --> 00:01:21.879
what a different tradeoffs are in there 
are different tradeoffs between them

00:01:22.386 --> 00:01:25.996
and hopefully you take some of the ideas and
bring them to your favourite system

00:01:26.674 --> 00:01:29.523
or you maybe you think that react is cool
and you can tribute to it.

00:01:31.580 --> 00:01:35.200
Lets talk about what makes user interfaces
difficult to build.

00:01:36.881 --> 00:01:40.136
Has anyone build an user interface before?

00:01:40.136 --> 00:01:42.678
Alright, OK. I figured it.

00:01:42.678 --> 00:01:45.065
Was it really easy?

00:01:45.135 --> 00:01:46.792
Yeah, testing it was super-easy,

00:01:46.792 --> 00:01:49.200
maintainng quality was probably
a joke, right.

00:01:49.402 --> 00:01:51.341
It's just a kind a .. always works

00:01:51.341 --> 00:01:53.280
He said sarcastically

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.219
But you get this a lot

00:01:55.615 --> 00:01:57.474
This doesnt feel right

00:01:57.645 --> 00:02:01.381
So, you know - even if you use all the test driven
development that you can throw at it

00:02:01.581 --> 00:02:04.091
you still have to have a human look at this

00:02:04.091 --> 00:02:05.762
this doesnt look right and
this doesnt fell right

00:02:05.915 --> 00:02:09.311
and when I click this button and I click this button
and I click this button ... it breaks

00:02:10.865 --> 00:02:13.381
There's a lot of things that come in to this

00:02:13.757 --> 00:02:17.429
They are human verifiedy but UIs
are also deceptely complex
