What is Redux? Redux is a package that allows you to create global state and pass it to whatever components need it.

Which (if there is) node library method could you use to solve the algorithm problem you solved last night in your pre-homework. Not sure.

React: love it.

Ember: interested to learn,

Angular: Seems like I’d like it slightly less than React.
