Async Patterns and Generative Tests April meetup

Hello Everyone,

April will be the month where we talk about async operations in js, from promises to the new async/await, and also about property based tests, a methodology that is not commonly used, but very powerful.

Don't miss out!

Talks:

Luís Rodrigues
More Tests, Less Work
Writing tests can be tricky. How do you ensure appropriate coverage yet keep things straightforward and maintainable? Generative (or property-based) testing frameworks exist to reinforce your tests with hundreds of randomised checks, but they require changing your test design mentality. This talk introduces JSVerify and its underpinnings, and suggests strategies to help you make the most of it immediately.

José Carneiro
From Promises to Async/Await
Promises changed the way we deal with asynchronous operations in JavaScript, and with the growing support for ES8 comes the rise of Async/Await. We’ll dive into common patterns and use cases for these technologies, and weigh them up against callbacks and generators.

See you soon!
