PRESENTATIONS

You Shouldn’t “Learn to Code”
Tryston Perry

What does it mean to “learn to code”? People view coding as something you either can do or can’t do. Impostor syndrome, learning overhead, overwhelming resources. Got it? Coding is something none of us ever fully learn. Coding is just a tool that we use to talk to computers. And that's ok.

Buckle up for a journey into the realm of React testing – where clarity and confidence meet code! The React Testing Library and Jest Tests are essential tools and techniques that ensure our React components are robust, reliable, and ready for action. Together, we'll delve into the foundations of testing, understand the role of React Testing Library, and write effective Jest tests. So, grab your hot cocoa, cozy up by the digital fireplace, as Charlean Baxter sprinkles some testing magic over our React festivities!

Introducing Flash Signals for State Management

A signal is a value that changes over time and whose change can trigger side effects. Used in popular libraries like Solid.js and Preact, signals are pure reactive values and React incorporates the same fundamental concepts into more involved APIs like useState and useEffect.
