Formerly known as Project Comet, Adobe Experience Design CC, is now available as a free pre-release download. Adobe XD, or just XD, for short, the consistent mis-spelling underlines the tool’s target market, it’s aimed squarely at UX design.
Since its debut at last year’s Adobe MAX, Project Comet has been one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the last few years, and now that it’s finally here, it doesn’t disappoint.
one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the last few years…[XD] doesn’t disappoint.
XD has been released as a public preview to invite contributions from the UX community; Adobe are keen to ensure that the new product syncs with the diverse, and constantly evolving, workflows of UX designers. So far, over 5,000 designers have been involved in pre-release testing, offering feedback, and assisting Adobe’s Project Comet team to prioritize and iterate the toolset for professional-grade work.
Visual design, prototyping, wireframing, testing, and demoing are all built into XD. You can add interactions and animation in order to accurately demo your design to clients, or team members. Part-prototyping tool, part design app, XD is focused around two tabs: Design, and Prototype. The Design tab features simple vector and text tools, and is used for creating your design. The Prototype tab is for previewing, and sharing your design. Finished, or in-progress, designs can be easily shared via public links that can even be opened on mobile, allowing anyone to experience your design in its intended context. The aim of XD is to reduce the friction moving from design, to prototype, and on to presentation.
The star of the show is still the much heralded Repeat Grid feature
Adobe have consciously focused on quality, speed, and stability from the off, and Adobe XD is already stable, and usable for client work. Fewer features have been implemented in order to ensure that those that do make the cut achieve the standards of a mature design tool. Monthly releases are promised moving forward, as the feature set grows.
One of the best additions is the ability to drag and drop images onto shapes in the application, automatically scaling and masking based on the shape; an innovation that would be welcome in applications like Illustrator.
The star of the show is still the much heralded Repeat Grid feature. It allows you to rapidly duplicate an element as a list, or grid; change the content—even images—while maintaining the styles. Re-edit the styles later and the whole grid adapts, while retaining content edits.
There are several areas in which XD is clearly lacking; color for example currently uses the MacOS default input, instead of CC panels. Adobe Stock is not yet integrated, but will be added soon. CC shared libraries are not yet integrated, but will be added in the coming months to facilitate tighter integration with Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, and Dreamweaver.
There are also big innovations planned for further down the tracks: white-labeling on previews isn’t yet possible, but is being considered as a probable addition in a future version.
Adobe Experience Design CC is currently only available to download on Mac, in English. Adobe assure us that they’re working towards releasing an Windows 10 version before the end of 2016. Currently free to download from Adobe (you will need to register an Adobe ID if you don’t already have one) a full commercial release is expected in the next year. The final release date will undoubtedly depend on the feedback Adobe receive from this pre-release version.
This tutorial is the first of a three-part series on React by Brad Westfall. When Brad pitched me this, he pointed out there are a good amount of tutorials on getting started in React, but not as much about where to go from there. If you’re brand new to React, stay tuned to the screencasts area, as we have a pairing screencast to get you started coming later this week. This series picks up where the basics leave off.

Part 1: React Router (You are here!)
Part 2: Container Components (Coming soon!)
Part 3: Redux (Coming soon!)
When I was first learning, I found lots of beginner guides (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4) that showed how to make single components and render them to the DOM. They did a fine job of teaching the basics like JSX and props, but I struggled with figuring out how React works in the bigger picture — like a real-world Single Page Application (SPA). Since this series covers a lot of material, it will not cover the absolute beginner concepts. Instead, it will start with the assumption that you already understand how to create and render at least one component.
For what it’s worth, here are some other great guides that aim at beginners:
This series also comes with some code to play with at GitHub. Throughout the series, we’ll be building a basic SPA focused around users and widgets.
To keep things simple and brief, the examples in this series will start by assuming that React and React Router are retrieved from a CDN. So you won’t see require() or import in the immediate examples below. Towards the end of this tutorial though, we’ll introduce Webpack and Babel for the GitHub guides. At that point, it’s all ES6!
React-Router
React isn’t a framework, it’s a library. Therefore, it doesn’t solve all an application’s needs. It does a great job at creating components and providing a system for managing state, but creating a more complex SPA will require a supporting cast. The first that we’ll look at is React Router.
If you’ve used any front-end router before, many of these concepts will be familiar. But unlike any other router I’ve used before, React Router uses JSX, which might look a little strange at first.
As a primer, this is what it’s like to render a single component:
var Home = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (<h1>Welcome to the Home Page</h1>);
}
});
ReactDOM.render((
<Home />
), document.getElementById('root'));
Here’s how the Home component would be rendered with React Router:
Note that and are two different things. They are technically React components, but they don’t actually create DOM themselves. While it may look like the itself is being rendered to the 'root', we’re actually just defining rules about how our application works. Moving forward, you’ll see this concept often: components sometimes exist not to create DOM themselves, but to coordinate other components that do.
In the example, the defines a rule where visiting the home page / will render the Home component into the 'root'.
Multiple Routes
In the previous example, the single route is very simple. It doesn’t give us much value since we already had the ability to render the Home component without the router being involved.
React Router’s power comes in when we use multiple routes to define which component should render based on which path is currently active:
Each will render its respective component when its path matches the URL. Only one of these three components will be rendered into the 'root' at any given time. With this strategy, we mount the router to the DOM 'root' once, then the router swap components in and out with route changes.
It’s also worth noting that the router will switch routes without making requests to the server, so imagine that each component could be a whole new page.
Re-usable Layout
We’re starting to see the humble beginnings of a Single Page Application. However, it still doesn’t solve real-world problems. Sure, we could build the three components to be full HTML pages, but what about code re-use? Chances are, these three components share common assets like a header and sidebar, so how do we prevent HTML repetition in each component?
Let’s imagine we were building a web app that resembled this mockup:
A simple website mockup.
When you start to think about how this mockup can be broken down into re-usable sections, you might end up with this idea:
How you might break up the simple web mockup into sections.
Thinking in terms of nestable components and layouts will allow us to create reusable parts.
Suddenly, the art department lets you know that the app needs a page for searching widgets which resembles the page for searching users. With User List and Widget List both requiring the same “look” for their search page, the idea to have Search Layout as a separate component makes even more sense now:
Search for widgets now, in place of users, but the parent sections remain the same.
Search Layout can be a parent template for all kinds of search pages now. And while some pages might need Search Layout, others can directly use Main Layout without it:
A layout decoupled.
This is a common strategy and if you’ve used any templating system, you’ve probably done something very similar. Now let’s work on the HTML. To start, we’ll do static HTML without considering JavaScript:
Remember, the 'root' element will always be present since it’s the only element that the initial HTML Body has before JavaScript starts. The word “root” is appropriate because our entire React application will mount to it. But there’s no “right name” or convention to what you call it. I’ve chosen “root”, so we’ll continue to use it throughout the examples. Just beware that mounting directly to the element is highly discouraged.
After creating the static HTML, convert it into React components:
var MainLayout = React.createClass({
render: function() {
// Note the `className` rather than `class`
// `class` is a reserved word in JavaScript, so JSX uses `className`
// Ultimately, it will render with a `class` in the DOM
return (
<div className="app">
<header className="primary-header"><header>
<aside className="primary-aside"></aside>
<main>
{this.props.children}
</main>
</div>
);
}
});
var SearchLayout = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<div className="search">
<header className="search-header"></header>
<div className="results">
{this.props.children}
</div>
<div className="search-footer pagination"></div>
</div>
);
}
});
var UserList = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<ul className="user-list">
<li>Dan</li>
<li>Ryan</li>
<li>Michael</li>
</ul>
);
}
});
Don’t get too distracted between what I’m calling “Layout” vs “Component”. All three of these are React components. I just choose to call two of them “Layouts” since that’s the role they’re performing.
We will eventually use “nested routes” to place UserList inside SearchLayout, then inside MainLayout. But first, notice that when UserList is placed inside its parent SearchLayout, the parent will use this.props.children to determine its location. All components have this.props.children as a prop, but it’s only when components are nested that the parent component gets this prop filled automatically by React. For components that aren’t parent components, this.props.children will be null.
Nested Routes
So how do we get these components to nest? The router does it for us when we nest routes:
Components will be nested in accordance with how the router nests its routes. When the user visits the /users route, React Router will place the UserList component inside SearchLayout and then both inside MainLayout. The end result of visiting /users will be the three nested components placed inside 'root'.
Notice that we don’t have a rule for when the user visits the home page path (/) or wants to search widgets. Those were left out for simplicity, but let’s put them in with the new router:
You’ve probably noticed by now that JSX follows XML rules in the sense that the Route component can either be written as one tag: or two: .... This is true of all JSX including your custom components and normal DOM nodes. For instance,
is valid JSX and will convert to when rendered.
For brevity, just imagine WidgetList resembles the UserList.
Since has two child routes now, the user can visit /users or /widgets and the corresponding will load its respective components inside the SearchLayout component.
Also, notice how the Home component will be placed directly inside MainLayout without SearchLayout being involved — because of how the s are nested. You can probably imagine it’s easy to rearrange how layouts and components are nested by rearranging the routes.
IndexRoutes
React Router is very expressive and often there’s more than one way to do the same thing. For example we could also have written the above router like this:
Despite its different look, they both work the exact same way.
Optional Route Attributes
Sometimes, will have a component attribute with no path, as in the SearchLayout route from above. Other times, it might be necessary to have a with a path and no component. To see why, let’s start with this example:
Again, React Router shows its expressiveness. Quiz: did you notice the issue with both solutions? At the moment we have no rules for when the user visits the /product path.
When creating anchors for your routes, you’ll need to use instead of . Don’t worry though, when using the component, React Router will ultimately give you an ordinary anchor in the DOM. Using though is necessary for React Router to do some of its routing magic.
Attributes on components will be passed through to the anchor they create. So this JSX:
<Link to="/users" className="users">
Will become this in DOM:
<a href="/users" class="users">
If you need to create an anchor for non-router-paths, such as an outside website, then use normal anchor tags as usual. For more information, see the documentation for IndexRoute and Link.
Active Links
A cool feature of the component is its ability to know when it’s active:
If the user is on the /users path, the router will seek out matching anchors that were made with and it will toggle their active class. See more on this feature.
Browser History
To prevent confusion, I’ve left out an important detail until now. The needs to know which history tracking strategy to use. React Router docs recommend browserHistory which is implemented as follows:
In previous versions of React Router, the history attribute was not required and the default was to use hashHistory. As the name suggests, it used a # hash sign in the URL to manage front-end SPA-style routing, similar to what you might expect from a Backbone.js router.
When browserHistory is implemented, the paths look more organic:
example.com
example.com/users
example.com/widgets
There’s a caveat though on the server when browserHistory is used on the front-end. If the user starts their visit at example.com and then navigates to /users and /widgets, React Router handles this scenario as expected. However, if the user starts their visit by typing example.com/widgets directly into the browser, or if they refresh on example.com/widgets, then the browser must make at least one request to the server for /widgets. If there isn’t a server-side router though, this will deliver a 404:
Careful with URLs. You’ll need a server side router.
To solve the 404 problem from the server, React Router recommends a wildcard router on the server-side. With this strategy, no matter what server-side route is called, the server should always serve the same HTML file. Then if the user starts directly at example.com/widgets, even though the same HTML file is returned, React Router is smart enough to load the correct component.
The user won’t notice anything weird, but you might have concerns about always serving the same HTML file. In code examples, this series will continue to use the “wildcard router” strategy, but it’s up to you to handle your server-side routing in ways that you see fit.
Can React Router be used on both server-side and client-side in an isomorphicway? Sure it can, but that’s way beyond the scope of this tutorial.
Redirect with browserHistory
The browserHistory object is a singleton so you can include it in any of your files. If you need to manually redirect the user in any of your code, you can use it’s push method to do so:
browserHistory.push('/some/path');
Route Matching
React router handles route matching similarly to other routers:
This route will match when the user visits any path that starts with users/ and has any value afterwards. It will match /users/1, /users/143, or even /users/abc (which you’ll need to validate on your own).
React Router will pass the value for :userId as a prop to the UserProfile. This props is accessed as this.props.params.userId inside UserProfile.
Router Demo
At this point, we have enough code to show a demo.
If you clicked on a few routes in the example, you might notice that the browser’s back and forward buttons work with the router. This is one of the main reasons these history strategies exist. Also, keep in mind that with each route you visit, there are no requests being made to the server except the very first one to get the initial HTML. How cool is that?
ES6
In our CodePen example, React, ReactDOM, and ReactRouter are global variables from a CDN. Inside the ReactRouter object are all kinds of things we need like the Router and Route components. So we could use ReactRouter like this:
Here, we have to prefix all of our router components with their parent object ReactRouter. Or we could use ES6’s new destructuring syntax like this:
var { Router, Route, IndexRoute, Link } = ReactRouter
This “extracts” parts of ReactRouter into normal variables so we can access them directly.
Starting now, the examples in this series will use a variety of ES6 syntaxes including destructuring, the spread operator, imports/exports, and perhaps others. There will be a brief explanation of each new syntax as they appear and the GitHub repo that comes with this series also has lots of ES6 explanations.
Bundling with webpack and Babel
As stated before, this series comes with a GitHub repo so you can experiment with code. Since it will resemble the makings of a real-world SPA, it will use tools like webpack and Babel.
webpack bundles multiple JavaScript files into one file for the browser.
Babel will convert ES6 (ES2015) code to ES5, since most browsers don’t yet understand all of ES6. As this article ages, browsers will support ES6 and Babel may not be needed.
If you’re not too comfortable using these tools yet, don’t worry, the example code has everything setup already so you can focus on React. But be sure to review the example code’s README.md file for additional workflow documentation.
Be Careful About Deprecated Syntax
Searching Google for info on React Router might land you on one of the many articles or StackOverflow pages that were written when React Router was in its pre-1.0 release. Many features from the pre-1.0 release are deprecated now. Here’s a short list:
There are still more features in React Router that weren’t shown, so be sure to check out the API Docs. The creators of React Router have also created a step-by-step tutorial for React Router and also checkout this React.js Conf Video on how React Router was created.

A thesis assertion is usually a phrase that states your discussion up to the visitor. It usually presents itself during the originally paragraph associated with the essay.
II. Why do I need to come up with a thesis assertion for just a papers?
Your thesis announcement declares what you would explore inside of your essay. Besides it specify the capacity and concentration with the essay, this also instructs your viewer what to prepare for using the essay.
A thesis statement are certainly useful in developing the describe of this essay.
Also, your coach might demand a thesis assertion with your old fashioned paper.
III. How do you construct a thesis fact?
A thesis affirmation is not actually a statement of concept. It is an assertive announcement that states your claims so you can substantiate with proof. It should be the items of investigate and unfortunately your own individual critical contemplating. You can find alternative ways as well as other approaches to prepare a thesis announcement. Here are a couple ideas you can test to design a thesis fact:
1. Commence with the primary matter and focus of your own essay.
Case in point: younger years gangs anticipation and treatment strategies
2. Get a say or discussion in a single sentence.
Sample: Avoidance and intervention services can avoid youth gang routines.
3. Change the phrase when you use tailored terms and conditions.
Example: Quickly elimination systems in classes are an effective way in order to prevent youngsters gang contribution.
4. Farther modify the sentence to pay for the range of this essay and create a intense declaration.
Illustration: With various sorts of deterrence and assistance endeavors which has been produced to deal with the quick development of youth gangs, very early school-founded protection regimens are the most effective way to protect yourself from youth gang effort.
Intravenous. Could I change the thesis assertion in their composing concept?
For certain. If truth be told, you must maintain the thesis fact accommodating and change it as being required. During the process of searching and penning, you can definitely find new information and facts that slips beyond your breadth in the first solution and need to combine it towards your pieces of paper. Or you potentially thoroughly grasp your emotions somewhat more and transfer the attention of your own old fashioned paper. Then you have got to revise your thesis impression when you are posting the document.
V. Why should i make an outline for you once i curently have a thesis fact?
An outline for you may be the “road map” on your essay in which you shortlist the misunderstandings and subtopics in your logical acquire.

VI. How can you make an summarize?
You checklist all the major topics and subtopics with key points that backup them. Set comparable information and items at the same time and set up them inside a sensible choose.
Include an Release, a Body chemistry, and a In closing inside the describe. You may create an define at the record structure or graph or chart set up.
Partnership: The Important Thing to Taking on Alternatives
Amy has trained college or university and legal requirements class crafting instructional classes and also a master’s magnitude in British and then a legislation degree.
It is typically not easy to exercise your essay-formulating knowledge all by yourself with no teacher’s reviews. With some time to perform (and with this strategy), you’ll be on your journey to practicing, assessing and improving your composing.
Rehearsing Essay Posting to gain Healthier
Do you know that Ernest Hemingway created his very first creative with no need of ever before owning composed almost anything prior to? Did you know Steven Spielberg redirected his for starters giant Hollywood flick devoid of actually obtaining been driving a dslr camera prior to? Naturally you didn’t know those things, mainly because they’re not correct!
Terrific innovative prodigies have purchased where they will be by means of working hours of honing their projects and studying their skills. Your aim may not be to become transcendent essay-making get better at. Perhaps you would like to have a first rate level inside of your English language system, or, better still, to test out of the English program completely.
Attaining many goals and objectives, not surprisingly, will take job – serve as in composing trial essays and healing your abilities gradually. And unless you have your own personal composing trainer just looking all around to provide you with evaluations any time you perform practice essay, you’ll will need to produce a regime to practice your skills and check your own weaknesses and strengths as a writer.
Know Your Weak spots
If creating isn’t your own topic area, then I’d suppose that dwelling all on your own disadvantages when considering making isn’t the perfect technique to spend your time. But there is an authentic give-off for lastly choosing a touch of enough time to conquer the effort locations with your making. Having the capacity to test out of a advanced schooling formulating training may possibly be some of those compensate-offs.
Think back to a number of the commentary that you’ve seen appear repeatedly on essays that you’ve turned in to teachers some time ago. Have your Language course instructors repeatedly been once you for under no circumstances setting apostrophes in the right spot, littering your essays with comma splices, hardly ever utilising transitional phrases at the start of your lines or all of the above?
You won’t turn into a get good at essayist instantaneously. But conquering a few of the most chronic problems that emerge inside your publishing has to be a sizeable support when it comes to developing your composing in general. Establishing your assurance is the vital thing to being a exercised, greater copy writer. Research.com Academy video tutorials and a producing textbook – if you have you – could very well be good gear for this purpose. Opt for an individual writing approach at this time, have a half-hour to examine the principles for your principle and perform very few limited approach work outs to see if you can grab the rules downwards. Remember: experiment with to battle basics one-by-one to stay from sensing weighed down ..
Give attention to Essay Design
Just think future about essay arrangement. For those of us who get terrified by the concept of required to produce, essays might seem like great, mystifying blobs of expressions, the secrets of which only a choose few individuals understand.
Not the case. There are particular options for constructing varieties of essays. To illustrate, if you’ll be required to publish a enticing essay, look at the simple building blocks that could go into that essay’s framework.
You may have came to understand the usual 5-section essay plan in courses you’ve captured. It’s not really need that you just only use this framework, as well as some authors realize its much less helpful as opposed to others. However if you’re just beginning to develop mastering the create of essay creating, you might process the 5-section design, which is made up of an introductory section with a thesis announcement, about three physical structure lines along with a concluding paragraph.
It’s also better to get into the habit of setting out the structures from your essays before you start formulating. This can help you just visit the forum right here be sure you comprise all useful points and information as part of your paper. Outlining will also guide you concentrate on system while you practice publishing essays independently.
Get started with Simply writing Timed Exercise Essays
No person enjoys being seated and creating timed essays, besides maybe this individual. For many of us, it’s not easy to agree to placing whatever else away, entering into a silent living space, setting a burglar alarm and doing a perform essay exam. Despite the fact that setting up a timer by yourself could appear to help make the duty even more uncomfortable, it’s literally ways to make certain that you’ll be duplicating a good essay test condition and also that you’ll make it through through an essay with out allowing it to drag on for many days.
For the reason that a great number of assessments require for you to produce persuasive essays, it may possibly be wise to start up your train with you. Give yourself one hour and a calm location. You are able to hand-prepare or model your essay. Since a great number of consistent tests deliver only a choice of filling in your check on your pc, it’s not a bad concept to employ on one.
To have a timed exam, you’ll be served with an essay subject matter. For your own train training session, that can be done an easy web-based try to find enticing essay issues to create one you’re pleasant covering yet with which you’re not exceedingly accustomed.

High-quality fonts, complex icons, expressive photos – that’s what graphic and web designers are constantly looking for. A large array of different creative assets for prices between decent and almost for free is offered by a service with the unique name TheHungryJPEG. The supply of the portal founded in 2014 is steadily increasing. Thanks to plenty of freebies and monthly changing one-dollar deals, visiting the website on a regular basis is entirely worthwhile.
High-Quality Design for Low Prices
The aim of TheHungryJPEG has always been providing high-quality resources at affordable prices. Apparently, its creators are highly successful and prove to show that there is a rather large niche for TheHungryJPEG between free and overpriced products.
Of course, the designers that sell or offer their creative products like fonts, themes, and templates for free are a key factor in the website’s success. That’s why the creators of TheHungryJPEG offer them the necessary space to present themselves. As a registered user, you can follow or contact designers directly within the portal.
Versatile Supply of Add-ons and Fonts
TheHungryJPEG aims to be the full-range supplier for creative workers, which becomes evident when looking at the supply’s bandwidth. Under “Add-ons”, you’ll find brush settings for Photoshop as well as presets for Lightroom, which can be used to create very unique moods. For seven dollars, you can paint like with watercolor in Photoshop – only without the water and the color and …
“Watercolour Brushes & Backgrounds”
The font supply alone is impressive. By now, it has increased to multiple hundreds. Alongside well-constructed fonts for daily use – ranging from modern to classic serif fonts – you’ll also find plenty of unique fonts suitable to present posters, logos, and other assets.
„Humble Rought“
Thanks to the clean categorization, you’ll always find a number of fitting products to choose from. However, going through the pages, and getting inspiration here and there is also worth it. The “Humble Rought” is a modern-looking vintage font with a unique look that you can get for 15 Dollars.
Don’t Do Everything Yourself: Icons, Mockups, and UI Elements
Creative people tend to prefer doing everything themselves. However, that’s neither necessary nor does it make sense, at least most of the times not. Especially when it comes to icons, there are very solid sets on a variety of topics in different styles. You’ll also find these at TheHungryJPEG.
“1005 Vector Icons Pack”
More than 1,000 icons for seven dollars? The world’s flags for five dollars? Creative people know about the effort put into projects like these. And knowing that, these offers are more than affordable.
“Display Screen Mockup Pack”
Alongside icons, mockups of electronic devices or working spaces are commonly used and very popular resources. The same applies to standard elements of user interfaces. There are also plenty of offers for small money available. For ten dollars, you’ll receive premium Apple devices – at least in the form of a Photoshop file. You could use these to present your own screen designs in an adequate Apple environment, for example.

“Horse – Close up”
Nutrition, business, leisure, people – these are some of the photos categories to explore. The amount of images is nowhere near as big as that of other competitors such as e.g. Fotolia. However, you can be sure that the originators will earn much more off of their sales.
If You Want Something “Off the Rack”
Finished designs are also part of the things that TheHungryJPEG supplies. This includes flyers and brochures that are provided as an InDesign file, for example.

An excellent selection of themes that are suited for both discrete portfolio websites and stylish web layouts is available to you for prices between 15 and 60 dollars.
Fair Prices, Fair Shares
Besides the extensive and high-quality supply and the affordable prices, there’s another significant advantage that TheHungryJPEG has over its larger competitors. This is the participation of the originators. At TheHungryJPEG, they receive 70 percent of the sales revenues.
In contrast to Fotolia and others the vendors decide on the price themselves. This is why the prices are not uniform but very different from each other. Prices are not decided by potentially objective quality criteria but determined by the subjective appreciation of the own work by the respective photographer or designer.
Shop of “Favete Art”
TheHungryJPEG also doesn’t demand the vendors to offer their products exclusively on their platform. Just another thing that makes the people from Cirencester near London, from where the portal operates, very sympathetic.

Nonetheless, you’ll receive all the essential information in one overview. For fonts, the given information includes the amount of cuts, as well as information on the character set.
Additionally, every offer comes with the necessary information regarding file format and other technical data, like the resolution of images.
Last but not least, TheHungryJPEG scores with a simple and clear license. This license gives you as much freedom as possible. You have the right to use all purchased resources for both private and commercial purposes. Reselling and sublicensing are not allowed. That doesn’t surprise us and is understandable.
