July with Building React UIs visually and the Require ('Article') Club

This July, we're having a speaker from San Francisco (perks of having online meet ups) to join us and good news to our community, check our agenda:

TALK
Yang Zhang
Building React UIs visually

Design tools are fast and amazing tools for thought, but for a host of reasons are limited to creating drawings rather than production assets. Engineers must instead re-create surfaces from scratch, by hand, using code. This inevitably leads to discrepancies and back-and-forth with the design team, and ultimately two sources of truth that are never truly in sync.

Plasmic is a tool to build UIs visually, intended to help bridge this divide. It loosely resembles a design tool and aims to give the same sense of speedy iteration, but is for building maintainable, production-ready presentational components. The idea is to give developers a better and faster development experience, eliminate an entire class of visual bugs/QA/tooling, and ultimately maintain a single source of truth with design. This talk will also cover some of the challenges with building such a tool (which itself is a React application).

For the second part, we are going to try something new.

We want us, the Require Lx community, to share more knowledge with one another. We have been thinking about this for a while. We're starting a second monthly meetup where the attendees can share and discuss the great articles they have been reading.

This is not a structured meetup with speakers and listeners. The idea is for people to share and discuss like they would with their own coworkers and friends. This will help everyone grow a bit further as a developer. These articles don't need to be only technical, they can be about soft skills, or other topics that are important.

REQUIRE ('ARTICLE') CLUB
We'll share the articles ahead of time, so that people can read them and help make the discussion even better.

PS: do you want to share an article too? Send us the link to the article you want to share, and we'll find add you to the discussion.

Make sure to confirm you're coming, we are missing each other. Have a beer with us on the 23th July at 6pm.

This webinar will be possible with the help of our dear partners Dashlane and Memsql.
