Guest Speaker: 4 Fundamental Programmatic Concepts w/ Lukas Ruebbelke (Remote)

Software development can appear to be an intellectual exercise but in reality, it is a discipline that is honed by hours of deliberate practice. Once a developer has invested the time to work through object-oriented programming, design patterns, a handful of popular frameworks, etc., they realize that they keep falling back onto a few fundamental patterns that they use over and over.

In this online workshop, Lukas Ruebbelke will lead you through a series of exercises in JavaScript* that will seem simple at first until you see how you can apply them to create real-world applications. You will learn how to express four fundamental programmatic concepts in JavaScript and how to compose them to build real-world examples.

*We will also be using TypeScript
