Web Development with React and Redux

Struggling with web application complexity? Looking to break-free from your legacy spaghetti nightmare? Using or considering React for your next big project? Looking for a clean and elegant way to manage the state of your application? Used react before and want to catch-up with modern idioms? If you want to learn about React and Redux - this workshop is for you!

    LEARN HOW TO

    • Write robust, elegant, testable and maintainable code
    • Compose your UIs declaratively
    • Think about the state of your application
    • Appreciate immutability, pure functions and composability
    • Use hooks to manage component state, work with React context and perform side-effects
    • Make your application talk to the server and tame the complexity of asynchronous code
    • Leverage modern JavaScript features and tools to super-charge your development

    The passion for programming and making new discoveries took me from unlocking the secrets of C=64 machine language to all things web. Today, after 20 years of professional experience, the sheer excitement and pride of making a new technologies "work" is still driving me every day.

    I've worked on various domains in different industries (e-government, fixed-odds betting, online gaming, social networks, investment banking) and with different technology stacks. Designed and helped building several scalable, high-throughput, low-latency transaction processing systems. One of the founding fathers of MindMup.

    Today, I'm helping ambitious teams achieve their goals and improve how they build software.

    Regularly giving talks at various meetups and software development conferences.
