Meetup topics / brainstorming

[alexnm]

We recently had a few ideas popping up during our meetups, so until we find the best way of keeping track of those ideas inside the community, let's dump here a few ideas of topics that we can approach during our meetups. Also, we'd love it if you would like to propose and idea and drive one of the future events. I will try to maintain a list of topics in this first post.

• testing in react [x]
• css in javascript / css modules
• server side rendering with react / angular / aot compilation
• performance concerns with webpack (code splitting, dev/prod setup, page rendering cycle)
• project structuring
• choosing the right framework discussion
• Angular 2 beginners guide
• dev tools (console, editor, versioning, etc.)
• functional programming, elm, clojurescript, rambda, rxjs
• react ecosystem: inferno, preact, mobx

We can try adding some simple webpack setup examples:

• bundling css/less/sass + ReactJS
• bundle splitting
• bundle optimisations
• difference between development & production

Another idea is to have live demo regarding the meetup topics we're discussing.

I'd like to touch base on things such as:

• Page rendering cycle (DOM + CSSOM construction, render tree, layout process, JS impact)
• HTTP 2

My time as of late has been spent on:

• scrutinizing Webpack (alternatives and variants such as Browserify, JSPM, etc)
• CSS modules
• SystemJS imports
• requirement bundling (bundle and cache node_modules packages like React and serving them in their entirety instead of individually, reducing 2000+ calls to around 20)
• project structuring (something I find to be overlooked a lot and I'm curious how everyone else does it)

I'd like to see some love for this subject:

• Typescript/Flow - comparison to JS, advantages, suitable projects
• Choosing the right framework open discussion
• Angular2 beginner's guide workshop
• Tools (developer console, editor, git, svn, teamcity) we use as developers (and why) - probably split into multiple workshops

I would like more on functional programming:

• elm
• ClojureScript
• ramda
• rx

React/Redux like libs:

• inferno
• MobX

Other than the browser:

• nodejs
• koa
• c/c++ bindings for nodejs
• electron

I would love a hackathon :)

I would love a meetup on Web Assembly. Also +1 for c/c++/rust bindings.
