Workshop Details

Native Web Apps, (a.k.a single page apps, or clientside apps, are becoming incredibly popular.

But, as it turns out, building them in a clean, maintainable way is hard, especially as a team.

With more and more logic moving into browser land, we need to be more rigorous about structure in order to avoid creating an ugly code soup heavily flavored with technical debt. There are so many options, so many toolkits, so many abstractions!

Henrik will lead the class in building a modern, well-structured application from scratch by combining best-of breed approaches and a carefully curated set of tools including:

  • Ampersand.js: A highly modular set of libraries for building Advanced JavaScript apps.
  • React: Facebook's revolutionary view library.
  • WebPack: Module bundler and development server.
  • ES6: The next generation of the JavaScript language.
  • Node.js: The JavaScript platform built on Chrome's runtime.

Daily Schedule

We've already held over 40 workshops holding thousands attendees in-person and online. In this time we've discovered ways to schedule the day so it goes smoothly and efficiently. Regardless if you're in-person or participating with us online you'll have the full ability to replay things you missed, get your questions answered LIVE and interact with the teacher throughout the day. How we'll spend June 25th & 26th: The class uses a very Node.js-inspired approach to front-end development. You'll be using modules installed with npm and composed for the browser with webpack. Henrik will teach &yet's MVC approaches by installing and using modules from Ampersand.js, which evolved out of Backbone.js. But ultimately, the entire purpose of the individual module approach is to retain flexibility to make decisions that match your team's goals and preferences.
