After a great pre-season networking event, we're full of ideas and ready to rock local meetup scene with the freshest React content.

This time we'll have an international speaker joining - Andrey Sitnik, author of PostCSS, Autoprefixer and Logux. We look forward to host more international open source activists in future, to highlight the global nature of React Amsterdam community, proven itself to be capable holding the biggest React Conference Worldwide (https://react.amsterdam).

October event will be hosted at a cozy, professional venue Crea, as well as live streamed and recorded as all of our talks are. This would not be achievable without our partners and supporters: this event was possible thanks to FrontendDeveloperCareer (http://FrontendDeveloper.career) and Evolution Gaming (https://www.evolutiongaming.com/who-we-are). If your company also interesting in getting exposure in local tech community, please email us - hi@frontendamsterdam.com.

## Using Logux in Production

Logux is a new project which replaces AJAX by synchronizing Redux actions in real-time between client and server. It is based on the ideas of CRDT and brings plug&play support for live updates and offline editing. Andrey Sitnik, the creator of PostCSS and Autoprefixer, will explain how his team, Evil Martians, uses Logux with Amplifr, its difficulties, and the resulting productivity boost.

## Simplify React Redux with render methods

The React Redux API confuses beginners even more than React Redux. Can we make it more accessible by replacing higher-order components with render methods?

## React and the Three Layers of Testing

I will discuss our Three Layers of Testing (tm) we use when developing new features for one of our high traffic web applications at the ANWB. (1) Unit testing React & Redux Components, (2) Behavioural testing our interactive React Components and (3) Integration testing our entire application.
