Longer Presentation(20 - 30min):

How to Build a Mobile IoT App in JavaScript

We wondered how hard it would be to create one of those door locks you control with your phone. Then we decided to find out - 100% in JavaScript. The result is Sesame App - Unlock Your Door with Your Fingerprint.

In this talk you’ll learn about:

• Building a mobile app in React Native (and using iPhone’s TouchID)
• Building a lock system with Arduino and Raspberry Pi
• And making the two talk with Firebase’s Realtime Database.

Ricky Padilla, Scott Wilkins, and Mike Coulter are recent Galvanize graduates. They love making React & React Native apps and tinkering.

Socialize:

We'll have beer and pizza! We'll also allow people to announce any job opportunities they may have at that time so you can socialize with potential applicants.
