Vilnius.js Meetup May #2, 2023

Here's a second Vilnius.js meetup in May, thanks to Noam Honig (creator of remult) for proposing to give a talk while he is in Vilnius for a conference and for Shift4 Payments hosting everything. The talk will have live coding and who knows, it may be not only fun and educating, but we may also learn a new framework, as we should, obviously!

✅ Agenda

- 18:30 - 19:00 Gathering, mingling, drinks and snacks
- 19:00 - 20:00 "Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape" by Noam Honig
- 20:00 - 21:30 Hangout: Local Pub, Jasinskio str. 1, Vilnius

📣 Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape

Even with all of the incredible frameworks available today vs. a decade ago (or even two––for devs who have been around as long as I have), it still feels like much of our work as full-stack developers is still repetitive, and held together by duct tape code we shouldn’t be writing.

This is because we write a lot of duplicate and boilerplate code for everyday things such as simple database CRUD, data validation, authorization, and data-type conversions, but the majority of these tasks haven’t advanced at the pace of modern web architecture.

In this live coding session we'll turn a front-end React app into a full-stack app with code that is easy to write, follow, and, most importantly - maintain with end-to-end type-safety (say no to GraphQL!), consistent and encapsulated validations, live querying, access control, secured APIs, you get the idea. You’ll come away from this session able to build apps for modern web architecture while still maintaining our code DRY and increase productivity while you’re at it through a fully open source and common React/Typescript stack.
