React Kyiv February Meetup

We are happy to announce our next React Kyiv anniversary meetup that will take place on 16th of February at 18:30. Also, this time we have a guest from sunny Israel, so the whole meetup will be in English 🇬🇧 . We can't believe that almost year ago something that we started just for fun could turn into a whole new community and that this community has grown so fast. Thank you all for participating and elaborating, you are awesome! TALKS: Intro to React Native for Front-End Developers Ran Greenberg, Software Engineer @ Wix Do you know JS? Do you know React? Want to learn React Native? If you answered yes to these questions then this talk is for you! we’ll go over the basic idea behind react native. What makes it such a powerful and popular framework and explain the benefits of using it. Then, we’ll go over some concrete code examples and go through all of the pitfalls / new skills that you, as a front end developer need to know when starting with react native. How to be Reactive? Gregory Shehet, Software Engineer @ Grammarly Many real-world processes can be described using reactive paradigm. What benefits can it bring to the front-end developers? Understanding FRP can help us with bringing web development up to the whole new level. Our applications handle thousands of user events every day using reactive streams. With observables, we can implement complicated logic easier and make code much cleaner using Focal for React and JSS Observables for CSS Animations. Let's explore the power of FRP together. Say "jambo" to "poa"! Ostap Chervak, Software Engineer @ Stikersoft Poa — is an underground opinionated React framework. Its mission is to abstract common enterprise development requirements under the hood of framework and apply strict rules to code structuring. Poa is built on top of battle tested libraries such as: react-router, i18next, satcheljs, mobx, js-logger. On our jorney we will talk about historical purpose of poa, key features and take a look at real world application structures.
