Katie Fenn - Functional JS, In A Nutshell & Glynn Bird - Node.js Microservices
Details
Hey there Javascripters!
This month we've got 2 speakers!
First up will be Katie Fenn who'll be talking about functional Javascript. Based on Katie's previous talks at LeedsJS, it should be a really good talk and we're looking forward to it!
Here is a brief intro from Katie:
"JavaScript is a language of two flavours: object-oriented and functional. Some would say functional is JavaScript's dominant flavour, but only recently have we started exploring its uses fully.
This talk will introduce the basic ingredients of functional programming and explain why embracing them makes JavaScript easier to work with."
After Katie we have Glynn Bird from IBM Cloud Data Services to talk about Node.js Microservices. Glynn has previously talked about offline-first for us and we're think this is going to be another great talk!
Here's a brief intro from Glynn:
"Node.js makes it simple to build out your own Microservices infrastructure. Learn how to build simple, composable services using Node.js and Express and feed them with queues of work. We'll also have a peek at "serverless" architecture and orchestration."
The main talk starts at 7:15, 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 people looking to expand their knowledge in a recruiter free zone. Whilst interest from recruitment consultants is nice we have a no recruitment policy.
