Title of your talk Async programming constructs in ES2017 - what's the hype?

Talk description ES2017 is published this year and before the release there's been a lot of discussion on a new feature of ES2017 before its release - async functions. What's the hype of async functions in ES2017? I will explain the language constructs of async functions in order to answer the question and information related to the async function.

Title of your talk

Building a modular application with VueJS

Talk description

Data.gov.sg has recently released our SchoolPicker app, a geospatial data exploration tool to help parents and students find their ideal school. The app is built using VueJS, one of the fastest growing Javscript framework (62K stars on GitHub as of Aug 2017). We've learnt a lot about VueJS and its many supporting libraries (vuex, vue-router, vue-loader, vue-devtool...) in our journey of developing SchoolPicker and we want to share these learnings with the community. As part of our effort to promote use of open data, we are open sourcing SchoolPicker's code. This talk will also touch on how we designed SchoolPicker and you can use our code to build similar apps for different use cases.
