"Smooth sailing applications with Squid" by Jen Person

Your app's middle tier, AKA business logic or application layer, is an essential (if unglamorous) part of your application. It's the core processing logic that connects your data sources, APIs, and other sources to your frontend. If you're already bored after these two sentences, then this is the talk for you! It's time to make application layers as fun as a day at the beach. Lead Developer Advocate Jen Person dives into the often-overlooked depths of your application’s middle tier, where the true magic of connectivity and processing happens. Imagine a world where data sources, APIs, and client applications communicate as seamlessly as a school of fish in the ocean, and where the complexities of the middle tier are navigated with the ease of a skilled sailor. Discover how Squid Cloud makes this possible, and anchor yourself in a sea of maritime puns.

Prerequisites:
- Intermediate experience with TypeScript and React is best, but there is good stuff here for beginners and advanced devs as well!
- No knowledge of Squid Cloud is necessary, but if you like to check things out in advance, you can view our website, join our Discord server, or take this survey to tell me what kind of swag you like to get from events. There's no swag yet since this is remote, but keep an eye out for Squid on the road!

Jen Person is a developer advocate for Squid Cloud, your application's new BFF. She spent 7 years at Google advocating for Firebase, Google Cloud, and frontend machine learning developer products like TensorFlow.js and MediaPipe. Jen is currently co-starring with JavaScript in a buddy cop comedy where the two don't see eye to eye but are forced to work together, eventually forming a solid loving bond through a series of hilarious misadventures.
