Talk title:

Async Therefore Await

Abstract:

If you've developed in JavaScript before, chances are you've come across (or wrote) a piece of spaghetti code commonly referred to as 'callback hell', which results from chaining multiple asynchronous functions together.

Async/Await is one of the most important features introduced in ES2017, which promises to solve that problem and provide a way to write clean, readable asynchronous code sans the callback hell.

Learn what async/await is, why you should consider using it, how it differs from Promises and how you can use it today!

Make a Lambda Calculus: Functional Programming in JavaScript... without JavaScript
Functional programming concepts have the reputation of being hard to learn. If we start from first principles, however, they don't have to be. In this talk, I'll demonstrate how we can implement the entire universe of FP from scratch, using only JavaScript arrow functions.
I have done this as a 2 hour workshop, but I happy to condense it into a 20-30 minute "taster" for this meetup.

Talk title

Web Workers - outsource your JavaScript

Presentation

Google drive presentation * please request the access I will grant it quickly.

Highlights

If you are curious why Workers are both revolution and solution to the not needed problem this talk is for you. We are going to cover Why, When and How to approach web workers. In the age of client rich JavaScript apps, blocking stack execution queue can and will make your e-commerce solution loose potential conversions, instead of earning you the money.

Note

I prepared this presentation for the internal company FE event. Presenting slides lasted 10 - 15 minutes and code examples lasted another 10 minutes. Which brings us to approximate 20 - 25 minutes in total.

Talk title

I didn't know that!

Abstract

In 2017 I discovered ~50 things in WebDev that were unknown to me. These are now documented on my blog. The fun thing is that these are sometimes very advanced but sometimes also very basic.

I want to share a lot of nitty-gritty details of JavaScript but also want to take away the fear of the audience to say "I don't know that" and show the power of starting a routine that helps to gain and remember knowledge.

Note

I'll focus on the JS part and not talk about other things. :)

Talk title:

migrating to webpack 4

Abstract:

Recently upgraded an application at work from webpack 3 to 4.
Want to share some metrics and things I have learned while doing this.
I think its around 10 to 15 min talk with some code samples to show.

[sjsyrek]

I never received confirmation that I would be speaking next week, so I can't be ready in time... looking at the current schedule, my talk isn't listed anyway. I could move it to April, unless it's not something you're interested in at this time.

[felixjung]

Hey Steven. We sent you a message on Twitter last Friday, to which we haven't received a response, yet. Unfortunately we failed to check this issue for further comments from you. We're sorry. Like you said the thing got a bit too short notice, which is why we opted for another speaker, thinking you were not responding. April sounds fine to us, if you are still up for it. Again, sorry for missing your comment here.

[felixjung]

@everyone I'm closing the issue now, as we have three talks for this month's meetup. There'll be a new one for April, but it already looks like we have three talks for that edition, too (Stefan, Steven, and a mysterious third speaker). @praveen612, we'll keep your talk on the "waiting list" though. It's also possible that for whatever reason one of the speakers for April won't make it.
