BrisJS - August 2020 - Live Stream - Gatsby & Strapi, WebAssembly, Building a query language in TS
Hi folks! Here's another covid-safe BrisJS broadcast, straight to your eyeballs via youtube! Thanks for our volunteer speakers, you'll be learning and entertained live, with our usual interactive options for Q&A. ❓ Questions/voting and feedback will be gathered using Slido for Q&A: https://app.sli.do/event/stfuoo0a We still really need more volunteers, so please don't be shy, do get in touch for next month or beyond! ? WebAssembly, your browsers sandbox - Aaron Powell (@slace) - 30m We've been doing web development for 30+ years and in all that time have you ever stopped to think, “This SPA needs more C++”? Well thanks to the power of WebAssembly you can finally bring C, C++, Rust, Go and other high level languages to the browser. So does this mean that we can replace our JavaScript with these other languages? Probably not, so what is the role that WebAssembly can play in building web applications? And most importantly, what does it look like as a web developer to try and incorporate these platforms that have traditionally been on the server? For this talk, we'll look at some of the fundamentals of WebAssembly, how to incorporate it into our development process and ultimately what it looks like to build an application that uses a mixed development stack. ? When to reinvent the wheel? Building your own query language in TypeScript - Ashley Davis (@ashleydavis75) - 15m Were you ever unsatisfied enough with an existing framework that you took the completely crazy step of rewriting it? Well, that just happened to Ashley Davis. He's just finished rebuilding GraphQL in TypeScript. We'll talk about "reinventing the wheel". Why is it considered bad? When is it a good time to reinvent things? We'll look at how the new query language was developed and see a demo of it in action! ? Gatsby & Strapi - Camilo Buitrago (@cebuitragor) - 30m We've heard a little about Gatsby last month and we get to dive into how we could use it with Strapi, a headless CMS. Camilo will revise us through how Graphql will become the glue between these parts of the stack. ? Our zoom pro account is sponsored by PCCW Global. --------------- ❓ Why not volunteer to speak next time? We're taking talks anytime! https://brisjs.org/#present for details... or... ? You can check our Github issues page for upcoming topics: https://github.com/BrisJS/meetups/issues ? Submit a new topic with a template: http://tiny.cc/new-brisjs-talk ? Code of Conduct BrisJS is dedicated to a harassment-free experience for everyone. Our anti-harassment policy can be found at: https://brisjs.org/#conduct We expect everyone to abide by this straight-forward policy to attend in person or interact online. Please get in touch for presenting your insightful discoveries in the rapidly developing frontend or backend javascript world.
