At the beginning of the meetup we'll have some time for brief 30-second (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAnVNXaa5oA&nohtml5=False) announcement. If you're hiring, looking, or whatever, this is your chance to tell the group.
Server Rendering of Single-Page Applications (https://productpains.com/post/boston-reactjs/server-rendering-of-single-page-applications)
Chris Bolin (https://productpains.com/user/chris-bolin), JumpShell
We've used React to build rich single-page applications that are initially rendered on the server. This has the benefits of server-side rendering (SEO, faster initial load, serve clients w/o javascript) without sacrificing the rich client SPA.
