React.js Beginner to AdvancedTaggart Bowen-Gaddy

You've done some basic tutorials on React, and are ready to take it to the next level. In this workshop, we'll review the React fundamentals, with exercises to reinforce best practices. Then we'll kick it up a notch: What are the practices that React gurus use? What techniques help to build a solid and maintainable React code base? This hands-on workshop will explore these topics and level-up your React skills!

Functional Programming for the Web & JS Jeremy Fairbank & Jason Lengstorf

PART I (morning) - Functional Web with Elm Elm is a functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript and allows building robust and type-safe web apps with no runtime exceptions. Get hands-on experience with the Elm syntax and tooling as well as functional programming concepts by learning how to build type-safe apps with Elm. You will leave this workshop fully equipped to start utilizing Elm on new projects or integrating it into existing JavaScript projects.
PART 2 (afternoon) - Functional JavaScript for people who hate math Used properly, functional programming means cleaner code, easier maintenance, and simpler testing. But most of us will never use it. Why? Because functional programming is usually explained with jargon, complex math, and some nonsense about monads or whatever. And math is hard, so most of us run away screaming. But here's the thing: functional programming doesn't actually require math. This workshop will teach you how to get the benefits of functional programming today — no math required.

Progressive Web Apps from scratchJad Joubran

The web is becoming more and more powerful everyday, especially with the launch of Progressive Web Apps. PWAs are experiences that combine the best of the web and the best of mobile apps. You can now build web apps that run from your home screen, receive push notifications & work offline. In this full day workshop, we will explore Progressive Web Apps from scratch. We will learn about all the aspects that make up a PWA and relevant best practices. Last but not least, we will explore some modern Web APIs that will make building PWAs a more robust experience. After attending this workshop, you will be able to create Progressive Web Apps using best practices with deep knowledge of the underlying foundation.

Ionic 2 workshop: Angular for native mobile appsMike Hartington

In this workshop you will be introduced to the Ionic v2 framework, a powerful hybrid mobile solution. Built atop of Angular 2 and Apache Cordova, this framework gives developers an incredibly powerful set of mobile components to create app store-ready apps.

Design and iterative testing: how to create a winning design, every time!Marisa Morby

Usually when we design web pages, apps, or new features, we (hopefully) take into account what our customers have said, create the thing, launch it, and then tell everybody how cool it is.
And sometimes, these launches do markedly better, or worse, then what we had originally.
Why does that happen? Do all those things people said they wanted not matter? Do our designs suck?
The real problem is that we’re not taking advantage of the fact that we could actually test our designs before going live. In this workshop, I’ll show you how to:
* Create a testing plan for your prototype * Ask the right questions to successfully test your prototype * Aggregate user feedback that you can use * Decide when your prototype is ready to go out and have the best chance of succeeding.
