React Israel Meetup #16: Rx DIY & CSS in JS
Hosted by React Israel
Details
Let's tackle 2 (unrelated) things we keep hearing about: Rx - and CSS in JS.
Reactive Extensions (Rx) is often touted as a powerful tool for building complex concurrent flows. Building Rx from scratch will also show it is one of the simplest. Benjamin Gruenbaum will speak about Rx and in a live coding session will show us how to implement "The dumbest little event emitter".
While JS and HTML have progressed incredibly in recent years, CSS is the last bastion of old-school web development which we all love to hate.
CSS-in-JS is the latest attempt at solving this hard problem. If it succeeds, CSS-in-JS will fast-forward CSS into the modern era. Moreover, it will revolutionize how we compose, maintain, share and optimize styling across the modern web, native apps and even work with designers and product people.
Nickolay Ribal will present an overview of the history, evolution, challenges, current solutions and benefits in this exciting landscape!
