Wrapping up tonight's event with a quick Q&A for Sam & Anisha. Don't forget to follow JSX on LinkedIn to connect to each other and our wonderful speakers! linkedin.com/company/javascr… #JavaScript #SoftwareDevelopment #reactjs #VueJS #nodejs #FrontEnd #frontenddev #webdevelopment

"What might be surprising is our use of @storyblok as our Headless CMS. It was recommended to us, so we hit #Storyblok with *everything* we had to find fault. At every turn, it really stood up to the test." - Sam Hopkins, @AND_Digital #headlessCMS #frontend #frontenddev

"I'm sure there is no surprise that we’ve gone with #Nextjs as a front end. The static site generation is great for #SEO, and allows us to do server-side rendering for the more complex journey." - Sam Hopkins, @AND_Digital #JavaScript #frontenddev #javascriptdeveloper

Next up, Sam Hopkins, Technical Lead & DnB Dancer @titantraveluk from @AND_Digital. "Yes, that is my real title. What's really cool about @ANDdigital is that we're a 'people-first' digital company - they don't treat you 'as just another developer." - Sam Hopkins

"We used @strapijs, it's this really cool lightweight, open source, CMS. What was really cool about Strapi is the GraphQL plugin that allowed us to query our data" - Anisha Malde, IBM #opensource #graphql #react #JavaScript #strapijs #data #endpoint

First up, #Tech100Women winner, Anisha Malde from @IBMDeveloper / @IBM is discussing how to go from 0 - Production...in just 4 sprints! #strapi #FrontEnd #frontenddev #graphQL #womenintech #strapiCMS @strapijs #headlesscms #javascript

If you struggled to follow our tweets without context fear not - all video recordings of tonight's talks and accompanying presentations will be shared tomorrow. A HUGE thank you to @Pablo_Magaz and @williamheslam for their brilliant (& entertaining) talks this evening! #JSX

Finally! We are going to find out who the "mysterious 19th-century Russian man" @williamheslam teased earlier in the week. He's kicking off his story with a journey through time from David Hilbert to Haskell Curry to Raymond Smullyan... #JavaScript #React #Developer #code

PT 2. OR... Dependency injection! Pros: -Pure, avoids mutating global dependencies -Explicit, makes it clear what a component does or does not use Cons: - Unwieldy when composing components... #React #JavaScript #testing

Based on his Career-o-meter, @williamheslam explains: PT1. "Each of the four child components has internal state, which makes them hard to test." Can we avoid this? "We could consolidate all the state into a 'smart' parent component, making the children all pure components"...

Next of @williamheslam kicking off with a "Dev Career Simulator 2020" - just be sure not to click "extended Twitter Rant", spoiler alert it doesn't go well. #codinglife #codingfun #developer #development #JavaScript #Simulation

"Oak, the middleware framework for Deno’s HTTP server, is highly influenced by Go and one of the greatest things about #Oak, is its simplicity." - @pablo_magaz, Software Engineer Manager @doodletweet #JSX #Middleware #JavaScript #Go #softwareengineering #nodejs

And we're off! @pablo_magaz kicks off JSX7 by introducing us to @deno_land. Built by the original creator of @nodejs Ryan Dahl, and built on Google's #V8 #Javascript engine, #Deno is hailed as a "productive scripting environment for the modern programmer". Take a look:

"We learned the hard way that idempotency is king. With such big e2e test cases, where an error is occurring, you really need to know your framework. With this in a mind, a good logging strategy goes a long way!" - @dieguito15 #TDD #SoftwareDevelopment #debugging

‘We came up with a design document approved by everyone in the team. We set up a feedback loop meeting to show anyone involved in the release of a new feature, the e2e testing so they can see it all running - and we'd repeat until completion." #TDD #QA #iterations #development

Next up @dieguito15 on end to end TDD. "I was hungry when I was making this presentation - so I’ve gone with an extended Pizza metaphor. A new type of Pizza = New Feature Request. This requires a new ticket - which would require an e2e spec" #development #testing #TDD
