This article is from the creator of Redux library Dan Abramov. He describes division of components that underlies the logic behind using React with Redux. This approach lets you make such apps much more understandable and readable. The author divides components into two categories: container components and presentational components. Each of them has specific attributes.
Presentational components focus simply on how things work. This means that they are primarily represented by a markup. They don’t manipulate data in any way; they only reads them from props. Container components are on the other hand concerned with how things work. They update the state and fetch data. Moreover, they are connected to Redux and enable you to use Redux state in the components.

Conquer Legacy Code
(Bill Sourour)
Sooner or later you will be probably working with the so-called legacy code - the code that was written a long time ago often by those who are not around anymore. That means you must understand it on your own to be able to work with it (improve or change it). The author claims that you should respect the legacy code. That means to understand why it is written the way it is in the first place. You should avoid immediate judgments like 'This code sucks. I can re-write it better way'. You should try to fix only the real problems that need to be fixed. The more code you change, the bigger is the probability that the application will eventually break.
