How to measure software development time && Progressive Web Apps

Hey all,

we've two awesome talks lined up for you in our September meetup.

How to measure software development time - John Craddock, Adaptemy
John will talk through the standard measures of how long it takes to complete a software project. He will highlight the common mistakes and misunderstandings which can result in poor planning. John will also give examples of techniques for improving the predictability of software development estimates.
John Craddock is lead developer at https://www.adaptemy.com and has a decade of experience in javascript development.

Progressive Web Apps: Your web app on steroids - Maxence Poutord https://twitter.com/_maxpou
Does it make sense today to develop the same mobile application as many times as there are devices?
We were not supposed to stop repeat ourselves?
Progressive Web Apps are the combination of web, plus the experience of native apps. You start from a tab in your browser and you finish with an icon on your home page... with no installation! As a native app, PWA brings other benefits such as sending push notifications, data-synchronization in background... also loading your application instantly, regardless of the network state (thanks to the service worker). During this session, we will see what are services worker and the 10 Commandments of a Progressive Web App. The debate between web and native is not ready to stop!

We are also currently looking for a sponsor so if you or your company would like to help out in anyway just get in touch.

As ever, we have a limited capacity venue so we have to set a cap on the number of RSVPs and will have a waitlist in operation.

Doors to the Intercom office will open at 6.30pm.

Thanks,
Chris & Pat
