JavaScript Iterators & Front-end Tracing

Sponsors: Toast

Hey everyone,

After a ~3 year layoff DublinJS is back with in-person meet-ups. Thanks for everyone’s messages and patience over that time ♥️

For our first event back we’ve got two great talks for you at the offices of Toast on Stephen's Green. Coincidentally, Toast were the hosts of one of our last meet-ups just before the pandemic.

The two talks on the night are:

Instrumenting Intercom’s front-end with traces - Peter Meehan, Kesha Mykhailov
The story and lessons learnt as we instrumented Intercom’s front-end app with trace telemetry.

Did you know JavaScript has iterators? - Luciano Mammino
How many ways do you know to do iteration with JavaScript and Node.js? While, for loop, for…in, for..of, .map(), .forEach(), streams, iterators, etc! Yes, there are a lot of ways! But did you know that JavaScript has iteration protocols to standardise synchronous and even asynchronous iteration? In this workshop we will learn about these protocols and discover how to build iterators and iterable objects, both synchronous and asynchronous. We will learn about some common use cases for these protocols, explore generators and async generators (great tools for iteration) and finally discuss some hot tips, common pitfalls, and some (more or less successful) wild ideas!

A massive shoutout to Toast who are not only hosting us but are providing refreshments and food. Here’s a bit about them:
