This will be the last meetup for 2018! So a good reason to join us for some interesting topics:

Better Developer Experience with GraphQL and TypeScript

(Speaker: Denis Augsburger, triple w team)

Denis is a software engineer creating products for companies and
people. At "triple w team" he establishes the business area of web engineering and technical consulting. Denis will tell us about the orchestration of Types in Typescript and GraphQL Schema Definitions (SDL) focusing on the usage of Apollo on client-side (with React), showing applications and advantages using Typescript with GraphQL (Queries & Mutations).

Fun Times with Advanced TypeScript

(Speaker: Nicola Marcacci Rossi, smartive AG)

Nicola Rossi works for smartive AG as a software engineer. If you know the basics of TypeScript and are on the fence about whether to use it for your projects, during this talk you will learn how you can use TypeScript's powerful type system to make your code base more readable and maintainable, and - why not - have more fun coding. Through both practical use cases from our own experience and quirky mind-bending code snippets you will peek into TypeScript's powers and understand the language's relevance in Web Engineering looking to 2019 and ahead.

HackMD-it - enhance GitHub with open collaborative editor

(Speaker: Yukai Huang)

Yukai Huang is a full-stack developer working for HackMD in Taiwan. Since he is spending some time in Europe, he will join us for the meetup. We feel very honored for his visit and holding a talk about introducing HackMD: The Google Docs on Markdown for developers, and the browser extension they built to make GitHub real-time collaborative. He will share their love of TypesScript and markdown, in addition to some technical issues they encountered when making HackMD-it.
