Front End York - Javascript Special - October Meetup

It's a javascript special covering connecting to the cloud with AWS Amplify and Bluetooth for the web, a couple of very interesting talks lay ahead, combine that with a friendly welcoming atmosphere and we look forward to seeing you there.

Bootstrapping Your App With AWS Amplify with Tom Hanson

In the past, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was most commonly used by DevOps engineers who focused on leveraging services for application development. However, with recent developments for web and mobile services, this has changed and you can now streamline your application development workflow. In this talk, we'll explore how AWS Amplify can be used by nearly any level of developer to connect Cloud services to your app - all in just a few lines of code.

Painting Pixels With Web Bluetooth with Luke Bonaccorsi

Bluetooth is everywhere nowadays, you can find it in door locks, heart rate monitors and even in forks. However, this usually means that we also have an app for each device taking up space on our phones, no matter how infrequently we use it. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just use the web?

With Web Bluetooth, we can control these devices through the browser! In this talk we’ll take a look at the basics of Web Bluetooth, the Bluetooth Low Energy GATT layer and how to use these through JavaScript using the practical example of how I built an interactive LED pixel display. By the end, I hope you’ll be inspired to try controlling your Bluetooth devices through the browser!

Front End York is endorsed by York Developers, and we aim to create a welcoming, relaxed environment from which we can all learn, discuss and share our experiences and network with other like minded individuals.
