Workshop: Slobodan Stojanović – Serverless Apps Development for Frontend Developers

Commented by Jānis Košeļevs

What made you choose this specific workshop?

Every frontend, usually, needs a backend. Serverless is a really nice and a convenient way to have a backend solution for your single-page application or progressive web application. You don’t need to be concentrating so much on the servers, administration, security, scaling etc. It works nicely for high-load simple tasks.

Why is this workshop relevant to the local frontend community, as well as to the visitors?

Serverless has gotten way more popular over the past few years, it’s receiving attention and gaining popularity, and it’s a really good thing to have a back-end solution for your single-page or progressive web application. It’s only natural that any serious front-end developer or JavaScript engineer would consider using Serverless backend for his upcoming projects.

Workshop: Jecelyn Jeen – Vue State Management with Vuex

Commented by Dmitry Buzdin

Why did you choose this specific workshop?

Vue.js is a rising star in JavaScript framework world and React direct competitor. It promises same level of functionality, but in a bit simpler packaging.

Why is it relevant to the local frontend community, as well as to the visitors?

State management in UI frameworks is the most complex and misunderstood topics. It is easy to get wrong, especially if you are learning on-the-go. Getting this knowledge as early in your Vue.js journey is important not to result in a situation where the whole front-end should be rewritten.

Workshop: Joel Lord – From Zero to App: A React Workshop

Commented by Osvalds Neiders

What made you choose this specific workshop?

I use React in my day to day work myself and thoroughly enjoy it. Also, Joel seems like a really experienced guy who could get more people to use React.

Why is this workshop relevant to the local frontend community, as well as to the visitors?

It feels like there’s a group of developers here who for one reason or other haven’t jumped on the JavaScript framework train. One reason might be that the whole ecosystem is just so crazy and the person doesn’t know where to start. By having an intro workshop and get the person up and running and being productive in a day to me seems like a great investment for future opportunities.
