Survey of the Modern JS Development Landscape – Ashley Grant – 6pm Tues, May 17

The modern JavaScript ecosystem is a vibrant space full of opportunity and innovation. In this presentation, Ashley Grant will help you get familiar with many of the tools and technologies that are driving this ecosystem forward. We'll explore ES2015 and beyond as well as TypeScript. We'll explore the tools you'll likely be using including Babel, Node.js, npm, jspm, and Webpack. We'll look at how developers are eschewing heavy IDEs in favor of lightweight text editors for their development needs. We'll finish up by exploring the many and varied UI frameworks that have arrived to help empower developers who are creating software in the Modern JavaScript ecosystem including Aurelia, React, and VueJS. You will leave more familiar with the technology and tooling you'll need to be a successful developer in this space.

Also, since we are getting this group cranked back up we will have a discussion of which topics the community would like to see explored more thoroughly will follow to help drive future user group meetings.
