XPUB: 17:30 - 19:00: Javascript Club #01!

In this inaugural Javascript Club Michael will present: "Wow, you can (now) do that with javascript" ... a series of techniques discovered through practice that have been added to modern javascript, often based experiences from (past) frameworks.

Javascript can be a hard language to learn, especially on your own, due to its age and the many often different ways and frameworks available to do things. (And there's also the interesting but also quite complex relationship of the language to Node and the ecosystem of tools for also doing server-side programming.) Rather than take a "this tool will solve all your problems" approach, we will look at how different styles of programming exist in modern Javascript as a result of this history, and hopefully give some pointers on how to approach writing code today.

Javascript Club is meant to be an informal meeting where practice is shared. Typically someone(or ones) will prepare to share some of their practice, and participants are welcome to ask questions, or perhaps discuss alternatives. The idea is to start with a presentation of "code in practice" and to then leave space for hands on experimentation as desired by the group. Feel free to bring snacks/meals/drinks.
