LEARN FROM THE BEST TRAINERS IN THE CLOUD

Broken Promises (June 11-12)

In our experience, if you are using promises, you are likely using them wrong (and nearly everybody else is too). This is most often due to misunderstandings about how Promises work, choices that were made by TC39 when designing the promises API, inconsistencies in how Promises are used, or failure to account for the cost of using Promises in an application, and ultimately how the event loop works. In this workshop, we aim to help developers do the right thing with Promises. Through a series of hands on exercises and puzzles, developers will learn the ins and outs of developing with Promises in Node.js, learning everything they should do, and most importantly what they shouldn't do, in order to maximize the effectiveness of their code and avoid common performance pitfalls.

From Zero to Real-world GraphQL APIs (June 15)

GraphQL is an excellent technology to model the data of a system and expose it in a very flexible way. It enables product engineers to build faster at scale by composing data requirements on the client and efficiently querying APIs. However, this new paradigm also brings new concerns and potential issues on the server-side. In this workshop, you will learn how to effectively create GraphQL APIs leveraging GraphQL advantages and avoiding common pitfalls.

Modern React (June 16-17)

After some years of silence, React team had recently landed a number of new additions to its library enabling application developers to optimize their code both for better performance and maintainability.

Max will guide you through emerging patterns and show you by example how you can start applying the new best practices in your production apps.

TypeScript (June 22-23)

TypeScript is taking the web platform by storm, mainly because it is so syntactically similar to JavaScript, but comes with powerful scalability features that create more robust products. In this workshop, we will examine an existing JavaScript codebase, port it over to TypeScript, and refactor parts of it to see the value TypeScript can provide.

Build Full Featured Frontend App with Svelte (June 16, for full-access tickets holders only)

Svelte is a new prominent JS framework exposing “write less do more” philosophy. During this workshop you will get proficiency as a Svelte developer. We will be building a real-time chat UI - participants will be able to follow along and exchange messages. Will start developing from simple front end components, later we'll connect it to a real backend and then test it and optimise for production. Attending a workshop is the fastest way to acquire a body of knowledge about building web apps with Svelte.

Databases Made Easy with GraphQL and FaunaDB (June 16, for full-access tickets holders only)

There are several things to consider when setting up a GraphQL endpoint:

• choosing a suitable database,
• handling the n+1 problem,
• using a cache,
• security rules.

GraphQL has moved the many requests problem from the HTTP layer to the database layer. Instead of many REST calls, we only need to execute one GraphQL request. However, one GraphQL request often results in many database calls, which basically moves the performance problem to the database layer.

FaunaDB is a distributed database that comes out-of-the-box with GraphQL and a flexible security layer. Import your schema, let FaunaDB generate the collections and indexes to support your schema, and you can benefit from a scalable, distributed GraphQL endpoint in 30 seconds. Due to the composable nature and graph-like querying features of the Fauna Query Language (FQL), FaunaDB can offer a GraphQL endpoint that compiles GraphQL queries to FQL one-on-one. No more n+1 problem, no cache needed, and since each GraphQL query translates to one query, you can also take advantage of FaunaDB's strong consistency and flexible security model.

Build Your Own Live Streaming Platform (June 17, for full-access tickets holders only)

In this workshop by Phil and Dylan you will learn how to build your own live streaming platform (think of products like: Twitch, Youtube Live, Facebook Live). No video experience is required, we'll use React for the frontend (intermediate or higher React experience is recommended) and Mux.com for the live streaming APIs. You will also learn the basics of video streaming technologies like HLS and RTMP.

Full Stack Cloud Development for Front End Developers (June 17, for full-access tickets holders only)

In this workshop you’ll build Postagram, a photo sharing application built with React and AWS Amplify. By the end of the workshop, you’ll understand how to build real-world and scalable full stack cloud applications with features like routing and deep linking, authentication, image storage, GraphQL APIs, and hosting.

Modern JavaScript Architectures for Business Optimisation (June 18, for full-access tickets holders only)

Many of the products and tools that support a business heavily rely on JavaScript. We live in uncertain times. Product teams are meant to build and/or customize products, company websites, CMSes, marketing tools, APIs, etc in a global environment that demands more speed and agility, with sometimes fewer resources. In this webinar, we'll be discussing different software, architectures, and processes to optimize the JavaScript of the organizations we work for.

Topics:

• Monorepos
• Type safety
• GraphQL
• JAMstack
• and more
