Presentations
JavaScript Programming Idioms - Creating Elegant Code
JavaScript code really does not have to suck. We can write some of the most elegant, concise, and expressive code in JavaScript. Use functional style, create
code that's easier to understand and maintain.
Patterns for Programming in JavaScript
The arguably most pervasive and ubiquitous language is the most misunderstood as well. If you've struggled with and eager to write better JavaScript, come to this presentation to learn about good styles and patterns that can make your next JavaScript code shine. We will start by looking at some ways to make code reusable and reduce errors.
A Practical Intro to Angular 2 using Good Old JavaScript
Like to learn how to build applications in Angular 2, but want to learn how to do so using the good old JavaScript language?
Automated Testing of Angular 2 Applications Written using JavaScript
Angular 2 is build with testability in mind. The framework does not suggest that testing is good, it walks the extra mile to actually make applications testable.
Twelve Ways to Make Code Suck Less
We all have seen our share of bad code and some really good code as well. What are some of the common anti patterns that seem to be recurring over and over in code that sucks? By learning about these code smells and avoiding them, we can greatly help make our code better.
Core Software Design Principles
Creating code is easy, creating good code takes a lot of time, effort, discipline, and commitment. The code we create are truly the manifestations of our designs. Creating a lightweight design can help make the code more extensible and reusable.
Designing Reactive Systems: Creating Highly Responsive and Resilient Applications
Organizations have moved from making their employees available to having their applications available directly to the users. This changes the magnitude of scale
of interactions the applications have to support. Furthermore, with devices and bots accessing the systems, we’re looking at a complete different rate of response than we once had to aim for.
Get Reactive with RxJS
Functional Reactive Programming is gaining tractions. Reactive programming starts where functional programming leaves us—to make use of lazy evaluations and function composition to create highly responsive and reliable applications. What does RxJS offer from the point of view of reactive programming, where is it used, and how can you apply it for your projects?
