Gib Devs February Meetup: Javascript type checking and Java9 with REPL


Details
Hi guys!
I am happy to announce our next meetup on February 28th at 6pm. I hope this Bank holiday in Spain (Día de Andalucía) will bring more people from across the border. We keep following our 4x4 pattern - Meetups on the 4th day of the 4th week i.e. the fourth Thursday of each month.
This meetup will take place at The Ivy pub in Ocean Village where Alin Inayeh, Senior Front End developer at Lottoland, will provide us an introduction of Type Checking in Javascript, comparing different options like Typescript, Flow, etc.
Afterwards Maciej Sławiński, Java developer at BetVictor, will present us "Java9 and REPL. Forget debugging, welcome joy and productivity". In this talk Maciej will walk through essential REPL examples, see how we can use JShell to try out new language features (like Java9 Streams enhancements), but foremost, we will use it to build a real-life web application. Expect meat-only talk without theory, diagrams, useless “javax.swing.*” application examples.
I hope see all you there and not only enjoy the talk but also meet you in person and keep building the tech community that Gibraltar deserves.
Schedule:
18:00 - Introductions with beer and snacks
18:30 - Javascript type checking presentation by Alin Inayeh
19:15 - Java9 and REPL. Forget debugging, welcome joy and productivity by Maciej Sławiński
20:00 - Close up
Again thanks to our sponsor Lottoland for supporting us with snacks and beers.
We are always looking for new speakers and open to collaboration. Don't hesitate to contact us!
Our best wishes,
the organizers.
