ReasonDojo - Learn ReasonML by making things

Have you been wondering about OCaml / ReasonML or about which language you'd like to try out next? Come to our ReasonDojo!

The best way to learn a new programming language is to build something real using it, but it can be intimidating to try something new, so we're going to do it together!

We'll be making a frontend app using reason-react (https://reasonml.github.io/reason-react/) and graphql (https://www.graphql.org) through reason-urql (https://github.com/FormidableLabs/reason-urql).

We'll split up in small pair-programming groups in which one person will code, and the others will guide at a high level what that person should code. We'll all make the same cool thing in 2h30-3h and will compare at the end, and share what we liked/disliked and what we got hung up on.
There will be plenty of people who know OCaml / ReasonML, so no group will get stuck on frustrating problems.

Remember to bring your laptops - we want everyone to leave with working code and a working editor!
