Talks:
James Moorhouse - Using TypeScript to Refactor our Application for Maintainability and Scalability
A look at what TypeScript is, why you might want to use it and how we used it to refactor the ‘My Bets’ codebase at Sky Bet to provide a stable platform for future development.
The talk starts off by going over TypeScript and demonstrating some of its capabilities, whilst the latter part discusses how we overcame the problems we encountered from doing a large scale refactor on a codebase with daily commits.
It's now coming up to 12 months since we started using TypeScript so come along to learn more about whether TypeScript has stood the test of time!
Lewis Cowper - CSS and component based systems
With more and more frameworks and libraries moving towards defining components rather than pages, it is getting more difficult to make sure the cascade doesn't trip us up. In this talk, we'll look at how we can take advantage of new tools and approaches to make dealing with CSS and components much easier. We'll look at three approaches for styling components, and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. While React will be used as the example component that needs styling, the techniques and approaches should be applicable across the front end ecosystem.
