React Hooks, Signaling in WebRTC, Intro to Monadic Composition, and UX Discovery

Join us for our next meetup that you can join online! We’ll have a handful of short talks on a variety of interesting topics, plus time afterwards to discuss the presentations, talk with the presenters, and put the meet in meetup.

This meetup is free to attend, but you have to register to join.

Register now: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/b94d09355d1cf69f8c34be5db4a05ad8

The talks include:

• React hooks offer a better way to add state and side effects to your components. The built-in hooks can be composed and combined to create rich, shareable interactions and behaviours. You may already know how and when to use useState() and useEffect(), but what about useImperativeHandle()? How about useLayoutEffect() or useDebugValue()? Adam L Barrett will dive into the lesser known React hooks and discuss what they do and when to use them.

• In the second installment of our overview of WebRTC, Austin Kurpuis will take a closer look at the signaling process. He’ll explore the most common approach to signaling as well as some less conventional approaches to help you understand how signaling works and what role it plays in establishing a WebRTC connection with other peers.

• Have you wondered how functional programming languages deal with side effects and asynchronous computations? In his talk, Ilya Fadeev will show you how to apply functional programming principles to write better code. He’ll discuss what “monadic composition” is and how you can use it to write your modules in a more functional way.

• User Experience folks know the value of what they do, but getting the client on board is a “seeing is believing” exercise. In his talk, Ryan Wilson will show how including the stakeholder in the Discovery Phase builds trust and proves the value of the UX practitioners on the project.
