Talks on Web & Mobile Development + More in Alpharetta!

We’re teaming up with Refactr.Tech, The Atlanta JavaScript Meetup, VueJS Atlanta, and ReactATL for our May meetup—featuring technical talks and a fireside chat led by Alex Yarotsky!

Come out for pizza, networking, and insights from our local tech community!

"Tamagui: Bridging Web and Mobile Development"
Speaker: Eugene Zharkov, React Native Solutions Consultant
In this session, we'll explore Tamagui, a powerful platform that enables you to write, style, and optimize code that runs seamlessly across web and mobile platforms. With its own abstract component library and robust support for design token systems, Tamagui empowers developers to create universal, time-saving code. However, like any innovative technology, it comes with its own philosophy, limitations, and learning curve. Join me to uncover how Tamagui works, its potential challenges, and strategies to harness its full potential for your projects.

"Asynchronous JavaScript"
Speaker: Raymond Greeley, Software Engineer
Understanding asynchronous JavaScript is important for building dynamic, responsive applications, but its concepts can sometimes feel abstract or tricky to apply. This 20-minute talk embraces the power of contrived examples to illustrate key asynchronous principles clearly.
We’ll explore:
Blocking vs. Non-blocking Code: Grasp the difference on what constitutes blocking vs non-blocking code in JavaScript.
Callbacks Revisited: Refresh your knowledge on, and demystify, callbacks.
Promises and Race Conditions: Dive into promises and handling race conditions using promise method chaining.
Generators in Action: See how generators can be used to yield promises and handle asynchronous code.
Async/Await Simplified: Understand how to make asynchronous code more readable and maintainable with async/await and how the “await” keyword relates to a generator “yield” keyword.
By focusing on contrived yet effective examples, this session strips away unnecessary complexity, allowing you to zero in on the “why” and “how” behind asynchronous JavaScript. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of these concepts, and find themselves ready to explore the world of asynchronous programming with confidence.
