All the things React

Yet another meetup at Mendix! Today we will start with diner and then take a look at what makes React so awesome and unique.

A second talk is still to be scheduled, so suggestions are welcome :)

Program:

18.00: Diner

19.00: React: A framework for the mind - Michel Weststrate

React is known as an awesome, solidly engineered UI library. But it is so much more than that. It is a repurposable set of abstractions that can not only be used to commandeer the DOM, but also powers native mobile apps, WebVR, audio devices and many things more. The thing that matters are the abstractions made in it. React is not just a framework for the UI, it is a framework for the mind.

19.45: Practical Preact - Phil Mander

An introduction to Preact and it's viability in real-world applications

20.30: Beers!
