Tech: Angular, RxJS

7 healthy reactive recipes with Angular and RxJS

The talk will highlight solutions for some common use cases in a reactive application using Angular and RxJS through an example of 7 recipes on what your possibilities are.

Tech: ES Modules, Polyglot Tooling, ES5, Node, ActionScript

Every 10 years there is a changing of the guard in JavaScript. The First Age started with Brendan Eich and ended with ActionScript.

The Second Age started in 2009 when npm, Node, and ES5 all gave new life to JavaScript.

In the Third Age we will see the confluence of a few megatrends – ES Modules, polyglot tooling, collapsing layers, and the slow death of IE.

Let us explore the implications.

Tech: reusable React Component, React Context

If you've ever created a complex reusable React component one of the first questions you probably got asked is how can it be extended, right?

The immediate solution will be to provide props as extension points but soon we will realize that no matter the amount of props we provide there is always going to be a case we forgot to cover.

There is a better way -> React Context.

Tech: TypeScript, React Component API

TypeScript is often praised for adding a layer of bug protection on top of JavaScript applications. But, how can we also use TypeScript to improve the readability of our React component interfaces for our fellow team members?

Just because types compile, doesn’t mean they are helping to document and describe our code for our future selves and others.

Perhaps we can shift our perspective about TypeScript from a bug catching tool to a developer experience tool that enables us to write reasonable and intuitive code interfaces.

In this talk, you will learn how to think like a consumer and take advantage of basic and advanced TypeScript types to enhance the readability of your React component APIs.

Tech: ROLP, Code Writing

When writing computer programs, one is often faced with a choice between multiple ways to express a condition, or to perform an operation, or to solve some problem. The "Rule of Least Power" (extended) suggests choosing the least powerful way suitable for a given purpose.

Tech: Next.js, React Applications

In the past few years, UI libraries have taken the web development world by storm, however, this shift in how web applications are built has also increased the complexity of tooling needed to be productive.

In reality, it has gotten easier as new a new segment of tooling was created to aid in creating scalable and performant web applications. These frameworks focus on providing great end-user experience while also making developers more productive.

Tim explores why Next.js exists, and how you can improve your end-user experience and developer experience by leveraging Next.js.

He also hints at the future of building React applications and what it will look like.

Talk: Narritves we believe in and how they shape our behavior

(This is mostly a non-technical talk) Recent (and still ongoing!) events with Gamestop stock got me thinking about the narratives we believe in and how they shape our behavior and reality, whether in finance or in programming. These metaphors that we believe by matter: it determines how we think about technological systems that we use (open source) and the underlying people that work on it. Wanted to offer up some connections and open questions about where we might be heading.
