2nd Round "Conference - St­yle" Frontend Developer Meetup

We are ready for the second round! You too?

The location is booked and we already have 3 awesome speakers that will delight us with inspiring talks.

****Let’s see if those presentations will spark your interest ;)

Victor Verhaagen, Mission Critical Developer at Schuberg Philis

He fell in love with Javascript and event-driven programming 10 years ago. Build his own pub/ sub library because he required too many features which were not in existing libraries. https://www.npmjs.com/package/vp-pubsub

Topic – Event-driven programming with Javascript

As a Front-end Developer, we always need to deal with events such as mouse-events, keyboard-events, server-events, among many others. In my presentation, I would like to take you all the way from DOM events to Pub/Sub and Reactive Programming (not to be mistaken with ReactJS ;)

Vincent Tundru, Frontend Developer at ING

I work a lot with AngularJS but also take care of the internal component libraries. In my freetime I love to play around with with the latest frameworks and work on little side projects such as a visual git tutorial. That’s how I came across cycle.js

Topic - Cycle.js is a Javascript framework modelling interactions between the user and your app as reactive data streams. It takes the ideas from React and Redux (and, to an extent, Angular 2) to their logical conclusion, helping you understand their essence even if it's not your next go-to framework. But after witnessing its elegance, it might just be your next favourite thing.

Matthijs Kamstra, Creative Developer at Fonk

"Grutte Pier was an infamous Frisian rebel leader and pirate, born in 1480. He challenged the established of the era and tried to reclaim justice for the people with fierce dedication. Matthijs is our very own Grutte Pier. But his Pier-ness shows especially in his brave and chronic playful attitude towards working and making. He hacked our very own bot that helps us prepare lunch and has a fully automatic alter ego on Twitter that is always sharing awkward and funny thoughts with his fans. Matthijs uses code as a paintbrush, as an artistic tool to achieve creative goals. This –next to his superhero size- makes him a fine partner to work with. Crazy is good, laughing is important, and tech is a human tool." - Astrid Poot

Topic - Haxe, "WRITE ONCE, TARGET MANY"

JavaScript is everywhere. As projects getting bigger and bigger you might want some help in the form of "types". We all know (and perhaps love) the projects that do that and I'd like to add Haxe to that list. Haxe is an open source toolkit based on a modern, high level, strictly typed programming language, a cross-compiler, a complete cross platform standard library and ways to access each platform's native capabilities. My talk will be about Haxe and how it will help Frontend-developers (and in the process add 10 targets to your tool-belt).
