Talk Proposal: Understanding JavaScript proxies with a real-world use-case

[sivcan]

• Draft Title: Understanding JavaScript proxies with a real-world use-case
• Length: 15-20 mins full presentation
• Links: - TBD
• Which dates, particularly Tue/Wed/Thu during the 2nd/3rd week of a month, are you likely available? (e.g. "Most Thursdays with 4 weeks notice", "June or later", etc.): Thursday/Fridays with 2 weeks notice works well for me.

JavaScript Proxy is more like an advanced concept, and having it as a part of a JS developer's toolkit is definitely beneficial. I'll be breaking down and explaining how JS Proxy works. Then we'll be going through a real-world use-case of how we abstracted out our analytics system, lazy loaded it, and built multiple parts of the system all while the interface stayed clean and error-free for the rest of the hundreds of contributors of our code-base. We'll understand how JS proxies work, and I also have a fun take-away project as a follow-up of the talk for folks to try their hands on later.

Love the topic. Can I put you down tentatively for late June? I can aim for a Thursday, no confirmed venue yet.

[sivcan]

@ShMcK Sure, that works.

Hi Sivcan,

I had you set for June, would be alright to move to July? We have a sponsor for June, and they're looking to also provide speakers

@ShMcK Sure, July works.

Hey @sivcan would you be interested in speaking this March? We have a few tentative dates next month on the 20, 21, 27 or 28 of March. Let me know if you're interested and available!

[sivcan]

@bibschan Sorry I didn't get the notification from GitHub for this comment. I think I can plan something, if a slot is still open for March 20th. Let me know.

[bibschan]

@sivcan thanks for your reply! We are hosting demos instead of talks this month, so we can slot you in for April if that works for you! No firm dates yet but we'll likely get more info in the next couple of weeks, let me know if you're interested :)

[sivcan]

@bibschan Sure, April works!

[bibschan]

Hey @sivcan, we have a target date of April 23rd for the next meetup, would that date work for you? Let me know!

[sivcan]

@bibschan Yes, that works. Can you give a rough idea about the expected duration of the talk?

[bibschan]

@bibschan Yes, that works. Can you give a rough idea about the expected duration of the talk?

Hey @sivcan, ideally 10min and max 15min, would that work for you? LMK!
