JS101 Session 22 March - planned talks, backend for our app, React Play-pen

[katjad]

Today we started with a coding session and then talked about some ideas for talks. - They can be short lightning talks, or longer, depending on how long people want to spend researching the subject.

We've so far planned the following:
5 April - Interface Frontend/Backend for the app - @me--2014
19 April - Backend implementation - @mjg17
3 May - Scopes and Closures - @Gicela and @katjad
17 May - D3.js @wingedeel

There was also interest in having a talk on Higher Order Functions. If you have any more ideas, please add them below.

@mjg17 suggested using http://lokijs.org as a backend for our app (CodeHubOrg/organisations-database#8), which everybody agreed with, so he is going to implement it - see also talk on 19 April

We've also decided to create, next to the React-Lab, a repo for examples that everybody can push to without pull requests, called the "React Play-pen". This has now been created by @rinse0ut, check it out here: https://github.com/CodeHubOrg/react-playplen

Some resources people have come across recently - there might have been more, please add if I'm missing something.

• http://gitref.org/ (@Gicela)
• react.rocks (@me--2014)

The react.rocks site ...rocks! 🤘

I've added some scrabble letter scripts to the play pen. I've also started
a group project in the main folder. The idea is to create a facebook like
wall. I hope you can add some of your code as well, so we can discuss next
time. See you in the play pen!

Just remembered, I mentioned this article about Functional programming https://medium.com/@chetcorcos/functional-programming-for-javascript-people-1915d8775504 Very long - have only read the start and skimmed a bit so far!

[mjg17]

Good write-up!

If anyone wants a peek at what I've started for backend persistence, have a look at:
https://github.com/mjg17/organisations-database/commits/server-store-api
and
https://github.com/mjg17/organisations-database/blob/server-store-api/docs/REST.md

It's still early days, but I'm trying to write tests as I go. The next stage I have planned (in my head) is to wrap the basic CRUD from backend/stores/organisations.js in LokiJS load- and saveDatabase, using promises.

[katjad]

That's great. Really looking forward to having a look at that, hopefully soon!

@rinse0ut the Scrabble example looks interesting.

The examples on react.rocks are ace but most of them too advanced for me. Found that you can put 'Beginnner' in the search and get the more manageable code: https://react.rocks/tag/Beginner

@katjad

Thanks for great write up. Look forward to looking at the functional programming article.
