Late Autumn 2019. Component Driven Development. React and ReasonML.

Hi Folks!

And here we go again!

Our schedule for this time:

18.00: Dinner (halal and vegetarian options should be available)

Please let us know in the comments section below if you have any special dietary requirements.

19.00: Going Component-Driven - Gert Hengeveld (@GHengeveld)

Building apps is all about components. Modern frameworks have established patterns for building UIs from well specified components. Are you applying these patterns properly, and is your workflow optimized for it?

Component-Driven Development (CDD) is a development methodology that centralizes components in the development process. It means building UIs from the bottom up, from components to screens to pages. Storybook is the leading tool that enables the CDD workflow. Complementary to that you'll soon be able to integrate this into your team with Chroma, a free collaboration tool for Storybook. Let's take a look at what that means in practice

19.45: Get Reasonable with React - Wilfred Springer (@wilfredspringer)

ReasonML is the much-rumored yet little-known programming language that shares its ancestry with React itself. Like TypeScript, it is a statically typed language for the JavaScript eco-system, but unlike TypeScript it doesn't import all of its bad parts. If you ever wondered what is powering Facebook's Messenger: it's ReasonML. And not just for its interesting language features, but also because it's able to target native binaries directly. So, where React Native is relying on JavaScript to be the driver of all of its native components, when using ReasonML you could yank out JavaScript and replace it with the platform optimized code generated by ReasonML.

20.30: Community time!
