Title of the Talk Web Components that works everywhere

Talk description Reusability is one of the problem solved by web components, you will able to reuse custom elements to any javascript library (angular, vue, react and ember). Having consistent component libraries has benefits to large companies and teams regardless of tech stack, it ensures consistent look and feel without having to recreate everything from scratch again.

Hey SingaporeJS

Facebook Dev Circles Singapore would be happy to co-host Jan / Feb meetup. Let me know if this is possible. We can sponsor food & drinks, for venue, I’ll check if Facebook’s office is available when there’s a date.

On?

Title of your talk Modernising a 20 year legacy

Talk description Soompi has had its humble beginnings since 1999. Since then, its readership has increase manyfold. In recent years, Wordpress has been the primary stack in running the service. But even with the modernising of the site's themes, the technology behind the scenes has been the bottleneck in providing better performance and hence better user experience for end users. In this session, we aim to dive into how we rewrote the entire application into a Isomorphic and a Single Page Application using ReactJS and NodeJS+ExpressJS, deployed on AppEngine Flex, how that solved the problems we faced at scale, and performance optimisations that were made alongside this change. We will also look at the future improvements that can be made for the service from the perspective of JS.

Title of your talk From Game-based Learning to Game Creation

Talk description Each year, we invite around a thousand students to begin or continue their coding journeys by encouraging them to play CodeCombat as part of the Singapore National Coding Championships. We then invite around 10% of the students who participate online to join us for a live team-based coding competition. Some of the more adventurous students go on to create their own game levels for their friends and family to play. And while it is possible to play CodeCombat in multiple programming languages, the multiplayer levels that we play in national infocomm competition finals are written in Javascript. In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of the javascript skills that beginner students gain as they play online, the skills they need in the live, team-based finals, and the skills that are needed to transition from being a finals competitor to someone capable of creating the experiences that other students can play.
