Automating Continuous Improvement

Approaches change all the time, whether they are changes in the APIs we consume or the latest best practices. Often change takes time. Previous patterns continue to be used, old code remains untouched - things quickly get inconsistent.

Craig Ayre from Softwayre will be here showing how we can create custom codemods that update existing code and how we can create custom lint rules that enforce our new processes are preferred going forward.

Coding is Serious Business

Coding is serious business. Except it isn't. Code gives us the power to unleash our creative potential in new and interesting ways, whether that’s making interactive art, creating live music and visualisations, building games or even adding joyful flourishes on a web app.

In this talk, Luke will show that our code doesn’t just have to be for building boring applications. Using real examples, Luke will talk about some ways that we can bring creativity into our coding projects. By the end, Luke hopes to have inspired you to bring creativity into your projects, whether that’s a few little flares in your application, or an entirely creative project.

Building Web & Mobile Apps with JavaScript & GraphQL

This month we are joined by Ian Massingham from AWS who will be giving his talk Building Web & Mobile Apps with JavaScript & GraphQL

GraphQL is an open standard that lets you request, change, and subscribe to the exact data you need in a single network request. This makes prototyping and building data-intensive applications as simple as writing a few lines of code.

In this session, we’ll introduce the core concepts of GraphQL and put that into practice with real-world implementations using tools such as AWS AppSync and the AWS Amplify toolchain.

Building Frontends with Elm

This month we are joined by Jack Franklin from thread.com who will be talking to us about building frontends with Elm!

Elm is yet another attempt at producing a language that compiles to JavaScript, with a couple of differences that make it of particular interest; it's a functional, statically typed language where all values are immutable.

In this talk Jack will introduce the Elm language, show some of its features and demonstrate why he thinks Elm is something all JavaScript developers should be paying serious attention to.
