Hi JavaScripters,
We are excited to announce our second meetup of the year! 😃, this time around we have a particularly Typescript focused evening.
This meetup will be in person, kindly sponsored by Rightmove where they'll be pizza 🍕, beer 🍻, and maybe some additional surprises :-)
Talks:
Useful TypeScript Patterns You Might Not Know About - Apurva Deshpande
In this talk, we will explore some techniques to get the most out of the TypeScript compiler (including type predicates and discriminated unions) with examples. We will also take a look at decorators, new in TypeScript 5.0, and how they can make your developer life easier.
Serverless framework: fully managed micro-services on cloud without the stress of a server - Nicola Cogotti
In this talk we will explore how to use Serverless Framework to create complex infrastructures deployed on public clouds (AWS in particular but all major clouds are supported), to meet the highest quality standards in the most cost effective way using Typescript.
Case Study: How the ROH are leading the way in digital transformation using the cloud and Serverless technology.
