September Frontend Developers Meetup

We hope everyone had a great summer and it's time to be back at full speed with our meetups. This time we are hosted by JetBrains, woohoo!

Plan:
• 18:30 Doors open, we start with drinks and food

• 19:00 Doug Sillars 'It's Time To Stop Stalling: Sending Beautiful and fast video on the Web.'

Video is one of the fastest growing mediums on the web and in mobile applications. Video files have been shown to increase engagement, and can be a great way to deliver your message quickly. (And who doesn’t love animated GIFs?) However, video that takes a long time to start up leads to frustration and abandonment. The same goes for video that stalls during playback. In this talk, you’ll learn best practices to optimize the delivery of your video to you customers, ensuring fast delivery and minimizing stalls for a great customer experience.

• 19:40 Anton Kotenko, JetBrains: The Future of Web UI Development

What is beyond JavaScript in the modern Web Development? Could types save us all? Are React and Redux becoming a problem? Where could WebAssembly lead us? How to catch up with purely functional languages coming to Client-Side? I’d like to share my thoughts and experience on the listed topics and discuss them, so this time it’s not the kind of talk with live coding, but rather a trigger for conversation.

• 20:20 Peter Juras - handling time in React (lightning talk)

• Open end around 21:00
