I don't have a firm date yet, but expect to ship a beta in January.
The book will show you how you can largely stay with Rails defaults and can build an application that is roughly 50% HTML, 40% Ruby, 5% CSS, and 5% JS. The resulting application will have the look and feel of a single page web application complete with asynchronous updates.
After nearly 20 years away, I found it was surprisingly easy to set up a full development environment on a modern Windows 10 machine. Given a decent browser, terminal, shell, and IDE, the underlying desktop environment turns out not to be much of an impediment.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see React often used as middleware. There is a subtle, but important, difference between using React as templates and as middleware.
Chromebook's support Linux now. There are instructions on the web that are incomplete and out of date to switch to Ubuntu. This post pulls much of that information together.
I’m in the process of converting four Whimsy applications from React.js to Vue; and I’m taking a moment to jot down a list of things I like a lot, things I find valuable, things I dislike (but can work around), and things I’m not using.
On balance, so far I like Vue better than React.js (even ignoring licensing issues) or Angular.js, and am optimistic that Vue will continue to improve.
I found myself included in an IBM Resource Action ("RA"). I’m fine, nothing has changed. I’m already working with a non-profit, namely the Apache Software Foundation, and find my work there to be very rewarding.
the current implementation is a lot more fun to develop and easier to maintain than prior versions. As an example, if it were decided that the moment the secretary clicked the ‘timestamp` button on the 'Call to order’ page, all comment buttons are to be removed from all windows and all comment modal dialogs are to be closed, this could be implemented using a single if statement as the event is already propagated, and a re-render is already triggered. All that would be required is to change the conditions under which the comment button appears.
The board agenda tool has been tested on Linux, Mac OS/X, Vagrant, and Docker. It contains a suite of tests.
I’ve made a number of updates to the demos. The tutorial demo has been updated to do server side rendering. This means that it is able to be used by clients which either don’t support or have turned off JavaScript.
The second demo is a calendar. Unlike the tutorial which is a single file, this application is organized in a manner more consistent with how I expect projects to be organized.
My take is that this talk lumps React in with others based on when it was introduced; but that it is fundamentally different from, say Angular.js as Angular.js is from jQuery.
