♿ Accessibility in React Apps
by Sandra Arato

Any effort is good effort when it comes to making the web more accessible, and we all want to see see accessibility tools spreading more widely in the React community.

In this talk, Sandra will share some of her go-to tools and best practices about a11y in React. She'll be sharing her tips on how you can build extra helpers in React apps which can make accessibility a no brainer for any team.

⚡ LIGHTNING ROUND: The Dangers of Syntactic Sugar
by Lyndon Moore

Syntactic sugar is great... until it's not. Lyndon will show us how the quest for expressive code can sometimes confuse and slow down development instead of speeding it up.

🤖 Using Web Assembly in React
by Glenn Penridge

With universal browser support for WebAssembly finally having arrived, see how you can utilise this cool (and fast) feature with React.JS. (Oh, and there's gonna be some stuff about Rust too.)

💃 T H E V I B E

Come and listen to some quality speakers, network with other frontend devs, and chat about all the cool things going on in the React ecosystem.

As always, the meetup is great for both newbies & veterans alike. There's free beers & pizza provided. Talks start at 6:30. Feel free to arrive any time after 6:00.

The vibes are good.

There will be good vibes.
