London React October Meetup

London React October Meetup

Red Badger Team
Oct 20, 2014

Last week saw the fourth London React User Group and yet again the turnout was fantastic for such a young user group.

There were three talks this time and the first, “Learning to Think With Ember and React”, was by Jamie White who runs the Ember London User Group. Red Badger's own Stuart Harris had previously done a talk on React at the Ember User Group that had been well received, so it was time for them to come and talk to us. Jamie talked about how it was possible to combine Ember with React and it was interesting to see how flexible React is and how it's so easy to fit into a variety of existing workflows.

Next up was Rob Knight with his talk, “Diff-ing Algorithms and React”. Rob covered something that I think a lot of us now take for granted with React: how it updates the DOM through the use of a virtual DOM and efficient algorithms.

Lastly, Markus Kobler's talk, “React and the Importance of Isomorphic SPAs”, showed how to use React to avoid poor SEO and slow loading times. These are usually considered the pitfalls of building Single Page Applications.

If you missed the talk then you can watch it on YouTube below. To be informed about the next meet up then sign up here.

Hopefully we'll see you there next time!
