About the JS101 App (Organisations Database)

The JS101 group started in February 2015. Since then we have moved from working through Eloquent JavaScript and its interactive exercises to looking at libraries and frameworks and building a project together.

We came up with the idea of creating a list of local independent stores in Bristol where you could look up where to get specific items, but we then decided to keep it more generic and call it an 'organisations database'. For now in fact we are using it to collect resources for learning JavaScript.

Technologies we are using for this app:

• React
• Redux
• Webpack
• LokiJs for the data store
• Node/Express
• Map with D3JS

Here is a table with areas to work on that we created a while ago: Overview

We are at different levels with our JavaScript knowledge, and we each have - or are developing - different areas of expertise. The app is a good way to look at a specific area and deepen your knowledge by applying it to a practical example and, if you want, presenting to others about it.

Here is a document we put together about Prerequisites - mainly resources for different levels of JavaScript. You can find more information on our JS101 site.

We are also happy about online contributions from people who are not attending the JS101 sessions.
