Front End Sheffield: February 2023

We're back for 2023 in a new venue and - for just this month - on a Wednesday.

Our new venue is: Charles Street Building (Room 12.4.12) - Sheffield Hallam University
120 Charles St, Sheffield, S1 2NE, England

You'll need to sign-in at the security desk, but look for FES signs up into the lift and the 4th floor.

This is just around the corner from our old venue at Sheffield Tech Parks. We’re moving to a venue that can accommodate more guests and so that less of you end up on the waitlist. We thank STP for their support throughout our time with them.

This month: Dan Donald and Richard Bray.

Our event is free and inclusive; we welcome people of all backgrounds and experience levels to join. We will be checking in people at the door so be sure to sign up online.

Before you attend, please read our code of conduct: http://bit.ly/fes-coc

This month we'll be welcoming:

Dan Donald (@hereinthehive) - Intro to the anatomy of design systems

In this session, Dan is going to take us from the stuff we can see on the screen, through an audit, down to design tokens, looking at all the things that make great design systems along the way

Richard Bray - How to easily transition from web developer to game developer

It's never been easier to make a computer game. In this talk, I'm going to tell you how possible it is to use tools you already know as a web developer, Ecmascript, NPM and VSCode, to build a truly cross-platform game. One that works on the web, desktop, mobile and on game consoles.
