Learn to build front-end applications that enable faster shipping with fewer defects. Many software projects fail due to poor planning and lack of organization. By applying strategies from other industries, you can enhance your software development process. This guide explores the "mise en place" technique from cooking, demonstrating how to implement it in software creation. In professional kitchens, meal preparation is divided among workstations to create a cohesive dish; this philosophy can be leveraged in your coding practices. You will visualize applications as a series of components, developing each part in isolation, akin to a chef crafting individual meal components. The book outlines how to structure your codebase for reuse and effectively communicate intent to fellow developers. You'll develop components independently and test them for quality at a granular level, then compose these components into more complex features. Additionally, it covers strategies not directly related to code to maximize quality and efficiency. Developers at all levels will discover actionable strategies to enhance productivity, including structuring applications as components, building a reusable component library, ensuring quality and accessibility at the component level, testing code for confidence, and automating repeatable tasks.
