Discover the broad connections between you, your team, your company, and your community. Learn how to approach and enable impactful, equitable, and attainable outcomes.
This book is for the curious, the busy, or the eager technologist that wants to level up their relationship with open source software. That might be you! You use open source software today at work or at school, and I promise your talent and perspective, intentionally channeled, is the latent energy many communities need.
Perfect for:
- Students: Understand the history, context, and potential of open source software.
- Maintainers: Level up your repo with purpose. Create self-sustaining community. Avoid burn-out.
- Enterprise: Start, and scale. Secure open source dependencies and understand legal risks. Unlock your teams' future.
This book began life as an ABA title, so it covers a lot of ground and helps you navigate a complex topic space.Other creators -

Praxis (defined as: practice, as distinguished from theory) is an engineering starter app for Target, written in React. Any internal user interfaces at Target should start with Praxis.

Praxis (defined as: practice, as distinguished from theory) is an engineering starter app for Target, written in React. Any internal user interfaces at Target should start with Praxis. It contains as a product many of the Sprint 0 tasks needed to setup a modern JavaScript application. Webpack / Babel / Linting / Testing / Styling / Components / Authorization, etc. We have all that and then some. Praxis is more than a product, however. It’s also a set of processes put into practices to build software better.We onboard teams onto Praxis, and often times also JavaScript and React at the same time. It’s a lot for some to take on, but we have an ever increasing community of adopters that help. Target looks to the Praxis team and community to have an opinion on how development should be done at Target. This expectation leads to a lot of touch points across segments of the business.
