Big Picture Perspectives: ReactJS at the Core

This month we will be at Galvanize!
Our food & drinks will be sponsered by The Guild!

Come join us this month as we take a 10,000ft perspective at clientside architecture

CSR with ReactJS: a case study (Deepak Parasam)

Most commonly a ReactJS application is powered with a NodeJS backend or perhaps some other web server such as Tomcat, Nginx etc. Client side rendering (CSR) allows the frontend and backend code to be decoupled, and also heterogeneous. This decoupling gives rise to interesting use cases. In this talk, we will look into how we built a client-side rendered app that does not use a full-blown web server, but instead simply uses a HTTP endpoint that serves the content. In the context of this application, we will look into the motivation for using CSR, the design considerations, a few tools and techniques that might come handy, and finally some of its limitations.

Next.js & SSR (Austin Chauncey)

Learn the fundamentals of how you can use server-side rendering in your applications using Next.js. Understand the advantages, as well as some of the drawbacks of adopting server-side rendering.

We are looking for speakers! If you would like to present please reach out to me & we'll schedule you right up!

SPONSORS
A BIG thank you to Andy from The Guild for helping organize this event.

At The Guild (https://theguild.co/), our mission is simple: We believe our guests should look forward to travel.

Traveling in comfort is more than someone making your bed while you’re out or room service while you’re in. It’s feeling at ease. Relaxed. At home, away from home. At The Guild, we want our guests nestled into a nook of the city that’s so comfortable they don’t want to leave, complete with locally-inspired living spaces and fully-stocked kitchens. Think apartments, not hotel rooms, without sacrificing the high-thread-count linens, central location in cities, and access to local eats and hidden gems.

Whether unlocking a door from a text message, stocking a hotel fridge from your phone or being empowered to “travel like a local,” our goal is always the same...

Be at home when you travel.
