Special Guests: Paul Gray

In this episode of React Round Up, the panel discusses the future of higher order components and render props with Paul Gray. Paul is a software developer at an educational technology company called Learning Objects. They have a learning platform there that helps instructional designers create better contents. They talk about how he got into programming and React, when you would want to use HOCs and render props, and chainable components.
