Talk about React.js

For October's meetup we're joined, once more, by Glen Mailer (https://github.com/glenjamin), a freelance developer with extensive JavaScript programming experience.

For this meeting Glen will be exploring the thinking behind Facebook Engineering's open-source library, React.js (http://facebook.github.io/react/). He'll be looking at how it presents a fresh take on how to effectively build rich user interfaces, questioning and abandoning some of what is currently considered "best practice".

Glen will also take a look at how the library works, how it fits into a frontend web stack, and what makes it worth using.

After brushing up on the theory, Glen will show us how it works, in practice, by building up a sample application.

So join us from shortly before 7pm on Wednesday (29th October) for free beer, pizza, good company and learning.

Please note the group is intended for developers looking to expand their knowledge in a recruiter free zone only so whilst interest from recruitment consultants is nice we have a no recruiters policy.
