Javascript Everywhere

After more than two years Geek2Geek meetup is back on, full power! This time we collaborated with the guys from talent.io and Delodi to bring you, as we think, a pretty interesting topic!

Back in the days, when some of us were writing their first alert ('hello world') in Netscape Browser, nobody could imagine that this language would one day be used in so many ways as it is used today. With JavaScript we can write browser applications, use it server side, write mobile apps within the webview as well as native apps, we can even write desktop applications with it. There are AI libraries out there and even databases written in JavaScript. Where is the limit? What else is out there?

We have three amazing speakers confirmed:

Testing Javascript From a Frontend Perspective
Frédéric Cabassut, Software Developer

JS Applications are getting more and more complex it is becoming a must to not only trust in god, that everything works well after the next release.

AI and Javascript with Synaptic
Lian Li, Software Developer, Datenfreunde, Hamburg

Have you ever been in a betting pool for your local football league? Then you might know, how exhausting it is, to come up with sensible result for every single game and most of us are not using the scientific method... at all. No need to fret about it anymore! I'll show you how to write a program that learns to predict football scores with the help of the node.js library synaptic.

ReactJS
Jonathan Moore, CTO, N3xtcoder, Berlin

Jonathan, former CTO of Team Europe and Gründerszene will give us an intro either on React based on their latest videochat project for an NGO.

Thanks to talent.io and Delodi for organizing the event and bringing the speakers together. Talent.io will sponsor some healthy food and also kindly cover the speaker’s expenses and make contributions per speaker towards projects like Travis CI Foundation and JS Foundation. Delodi will provide drinks and will record the session.
