November BucharestJS Meetup

It comes with great pleasure to announce our new partnership with ADOBE, so the next 5 awesome meetups will be powered by ADOBE.

November BucharestJS Meetup will host 3 speakers:

1. Daniel Popescu - Computer Scientist, fullstack developer @Adobe since almost 9 years now. He has started working as an ActionScript developer and over the past 9 years he went trough a lot of technologies and frameworks both on frontend (web and mobile) and backend. Currently, in his day-to-day job, he works with JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, React, Redux, GraphQL, NodeJS, Java, Objective-C and Swift. He likes being involved in the full product flow starting with writing the code, testing it, moving the product through the CI/CD pipeline, deployment and monitoring. Huge fan of unit tests, end to end tests and automation in general.

2. James Miles - Engineering Lead @Virtual Gaming Worlds from Australia (yep, where the kangaroos live!). He enjoys being a computer programmer because he gets to work in a team, using both logic and creative brains simultaneously to solve problems and build things. For 15 years he worked on enterprise systems in C# and now he works in a team that builds casino games in JavaScript, Node & Java.

3. Matt James - Chief Technology officer @Virtual Gaming Worlds from Australia. His passion from an early age has been working with people and software. So his current CTO role combines both passions everyday! One of his areas of interest is how Functional Programming has influenced and shaped modern imperative programming such as in the front-end community recently.

✍ 18:30 - 19:00 Meet & Greet

🎤 19:00 - 19:45 - Latest trends in building Web Apps that scale by Daniel Popescu, fullstack developer @Adobe

🎤 19:45 - 20:15 - Coding In Interviews by James Miles - Engineering Lead @Virtual Gaming Worlds
Abstract: have you ever had to write code in an interview? Did you crack under the pressure? Is it even a good idea to make people code in such a high pressure environment? In this session I’ll aim to address these questions and provide a basic methodology to help guarantee success in your next coding interview!

🍕& 🍺 20:15 - 20:45 Networking over pizza & beers

🎤 20:45 - 21:15 - Go Functional Javascript Idioms by Matt James - CTO @Virtual Gaming Worlds
Abstract: Javascript began as a functional language called Mocha, but was released in Beta under the name LiveScript in Netscape in 1995. Java and Object Oriented Programming were the big thing at the time so they knew it needed to have the word "Java" in it, despite not having been based at all off the Java language. Coming from its functional roots, functions are first class citizens in Javascript, and other features like "map" and anonymous functions have given rise to a growing community of Javascript developers who are adopting functional idioms in their code. Redux and React really drove this home by having functional concepts at the core of these frameworks. This talk will be on how you can apply functional concepts to your code and design - and get some real benefits out of doing so!

The seats are limited so hurry up, we expect to be booked quite quickly.
