It's one of the paradoxes of blogging that most every blogger (including myself) is sharing what they know right now (let's quietly ignore those who blog purely for traffic and vanity). Since everyone is learning, this can result in poor or misleading information being shared just as much as good information. Keep this in mind as you read any blog - including this one. How experienced is the writer? How well do they really know what they're talking about? Do they blog about their mistakes as well as their successes?
I'm just as flawed as other bloggers, so you should feel encouraged to check my ideas for yourself. Keep the date in mind as well - in our fast moving field, even good ideas can become obsolete.

The Redux architecture we’re using for our application state relies on all our state objects being properly immutable. So far, we’ve relied on nothing more than self-discipline to ensure no mistakes are made. By adding some convention testing to our project, we can enlist some help in avoiding common errors.

What do you do when you find a bug in the system you’re working on? I suggest that how you address the bug is a key measure of your professionalism as a developer.

If you’ve tried out our application as it stood after last week’s post, you may have noticed that the user experience for modifying a word is a bit suboptimal. After selecting a word, you have to separately press the Modify button. Can we do better?

The existing model class ModifyVocabularyWordScreen only handles the creation of a new word. We need to modify it to support the modification of an existing word as well.
