Kevin Robinson, @krob, will present an adaptation of a talk from React Europe (https://medium.com/@patcito/reacteurope-interview-5-kevin-robinson-9d5f382ac13b#.vjrt8mnh4) this summer and some updates.
First, we'll share how user experience choices are a primary influence on how we design the data layer, especially for teams developing new products with full-stack capabilities. Working with data from multiple backend services has powerful benefits, and shapes the problem space for UI engineering.
Next, we'll look how designs like decoupling 'recording facts' from 'computing views of those facts' have influenced UI engineering. These designs nudge teams towards simplicity when creating impactful user-facing improvements like real-time updates, optimistic commits, and graceful handling of network outages.
