Learn Reason, Sequelize and Tmux

This course foremost will teach you about the syntax and semantics of the programming language Reason or also referred to as ReasonML. In addition, the course touches on best practices recommended by the official documentation. Each lesson is focusing on a specific feature, concept or best practice and can be watched independently. Still, the whole course is carefully crafted, and each lesson builds up on the previous ones.

Simple, fast & type safe code that leverages the JavaScript & OCaml ecosystems.

Learn to manage your terminal sessions and work more effectively from the command line using tmux. If you use the command line at all, tmux can make your life easier.

tmux bills itself as a terminal multiplexer. It allows you to wrangle multiple terminal sessions from one window. Instead of keeping track of many terminal windows yourself, you can use tmux to create, organize, and navigate between them. Even more importantly, tmux lets you detach from and re-attach sessions, so that you can leave your terminal sessions running in the background and resume them later. This is especially useful if you're working on a remote server: you can set up a persistent session that will continue running when you close your laptop. You can even share a tmux session to facilitate pair programming.

It lets you switch easily between several programs in one terminal, detach them (they keep running in the background) and reattach them to a different terminal.

Node.js is a well established server runtime that many companies are using worldwide. Express.js is a server framework for Node.js used by over 5 million projects. ReasonML is a type-safe functional language that compiles to Javascript.

This playlist collects the basic pieces of information a programmer needs to get started building servers in ReasonML on Node.js and Express.js. Follow along to learn how to get the speed of Node, combined with the added type-safety of Reason.

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

ReasonML Applications for the React Developer

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

Throughout the last year, the use of React hooks has taken the world of web development. Hooks provide users with an easy way to handle interactivity within ReactJS applications, so it's no surprise that the latest release of the ReasonReact library makes great use of them. 

In this lesson, we'll get started using ReasonReact `0.7.x` by scaffolding out an application using the [BuckleScript](https://bucklescript.github.io/) command-line tool. Once scaffolded, we'll go through the steps needed in order to properly run our application within a development environment that is ripe for productivity!

Up and Running with React Hooks inside of a ReasonML 

Any React developer will agree that 2019 was the year of that hooks took the library by storm. Luckily for us, the ReasonRect library makes it possible to hooks within the context of a ReasonML application.

In this lesson we will take a test drive of the `useReducer` hook within a ReasonML application. By the end, we'll have learned how to define our actions using variants, use records to shape our state, and more!

When working with traditional React, we often pass functional stateless components the `props` object as an argument. Although there are a few minor differences when working in the context of Reason, the act of passing `props` to a component is done in an extremely similar manner.

In this lesson, we will get a first-hand look at just how similar these processes are by walking through the steps of creating a React Component in ReasonReact. By the end, you'll have developed an understanding of ReasonReact's "named args" syntax which it uses for creating components and you'll have created a re-usable Layout component that can be used to share layout throughout an application.

One of the key benefits of BuckleScript is the ease in which it makes the process of porting JavaScript libraries so they can be used within the context of a ReasonML application. The Reason Package Index, or [redex](https://redex.github.io/), provides a central place for browsing all available packages. Additionally, creating your own BuckleScript bindings is a straight forward process that also provides value in the form of knowledge surrounding the inner-workings of the library at hand.

In this lesson, we learn how to integrate the emotion css-in-js libray into our project by installing the `bs-css` package. Once installed, we'll create a `.re` file for our style rules and see how we can add global css, as well as styles for specific css classes which we'll target using React's `className` prop.

This lesson shows how the Serbet server library for ReasonML and Node.js makes handling JSON request bodies, and responding with JSON request bodies a simple task.

ReasonML is a fantastic way to write Javascript! But it doesn't yet have a built-in async / await syntax. Furthermore the built-in libraries for working with Javascript promises are awkward to work with, and produce code that's hard to read. This lesson will teach the viewer how to use the "bs-let" language extension (called a PPX) to achieve readable, easy to write promise-based code.

Async / Await in ReasonML

Although ReasonML has built-in libraries for working with JSON, they are low-level and difficult to use by hand. The Decco library offers automatically generated JSON decoders, and produce a result that keeps the programmer safe at runtime by telling them whether the data they got matched the shape of the data they expected. 

Automatically decode JSON into records in ReasonML using Decco

Decco is a great library for automatically generating JSON encoders and decoders, but most real-world projects will quickly run into the need to add custom data types that Decco doesn't ship with support for. This lesson shows how to simply add a custom data type by implementing a codec that reads and writes Javascript dates as floats.

Write a simple custom JSON decoder for Decco in ReasonML

Decco is a language extension that automatically generates JSON encoders and decoders from type signatures. When adding adding custom Decoders, the error messages that the compiler produces can be quite confusing. This lesson shows the viewer how to use explicit type signatures to narrow down where an error might be coming from in custom codec code. This same pattern can be applied whenever confusing error messages come from code that is written without explicit type signatures.

This lesson shows how to use the `serbet` npm package to write a simple Node.js http server in ReasonML by implementing a simple "hello world" endpoint. Serbet is a convenient wrapper around Express.js. It's a young library, but its patterns are already used in production code.

The BuckleScript compiler recently reached a new milestone with version 7. In this lesson, we walk through the process of upgrading an existing application to the latest version using `yarn` (or `npm`).

In this lesson, we'll learn how to detach from a running tmux session and leave it running in the background. Then, we can re-attach to it later.

We'll cover:
- How to exit a session by killing all active panes
- Detaching explicitly with C-b d
- Detaching a specific session with C-b D
- Viewing all running tmux sessions using tmux ls
- Reattaching with tmux attach -t

Reuse terminal workspaces using tmux sessions

In tmux, a window is a collection of panes. Creating multiple windows is a great way to organize your workspace. In this lesson, we'll cover:

- How to create a new window within a tmux session, using `C-b c`
- Navigating between windows with `C-b n` and `C-b p`

Create collections of panes using tmux windows

In this lesson, we'll look at how to manage your history between tmux sessions, and ensure that your setup preserves your bash history between multiple windows. By adding a special PROMPT_COMMAND to your .bashrc, you can update and reload your history after every command, regardless of if you're in a different session, window, or tab.


Handle history in tmux sessions

Sometimes you'll want to zoom in on a specific pane within a tmux window. We'll learn to use C-b z to temporarily zoom in on one pane, as well as how to resize your panes with C-b -L, -R, -U, and -D.
