Glen Mailer - Confident UI development through better feedback
Details
Hey there Javascripters!
This month we have a fantastic sounding talk from Glen Mailer on tools to help improve your development of web apps. It sounds really interesting and we're definitely looking forward to hearing more about it from Glen.
Here is a brief intro from Glen:
"When you make a change to user-interface code, how do you know if it does what you expect? How long do you have to wait between typing some code, hitting refresh, and then seeing the result?
There are popular tools to speed up this refresh cycle, but what about user interaction or multiple component states? Even with auto-refresh or hot code reloading you'll usually still have to click on a button to check if your animations are working correctly.
I'll show you how you can get an even better level of immediate feedback from changes. One that lets you see the variety of possible states and interactions your components have all at the same time. This can vastly improve our experiences when building interactive web applications."
As ever we will have demos of last month's challenge to build absolutely anything with Cycle.js. We have a year's subscription to Frontend masters to give away to the lucky winner!
The main talk starts at 7:30, but most people show up from 6:45 to network and talk about all things JavaScript before the talk. After the talk we’ll be heading over to Headrow House to have a drink and to chat some more.
Please note the group is intended for developers looking to expand their knowledge in a recruiter free zone. Whilst interest from recruitment consultants is nice we have a no recruiters policy.
