"What might be surprising is our use of @storyblok as our Headless CMS.

It was recommended to us, so we hit #Storyblok with *everything* we had to find fault.

At every turn, it really stood up to the test."

- Sam Hopkins, @AND_Digital

"I'm sure there is no surprise that we’ve gone with #Nextjs as a front end.

The static site generation is great for #SEO, and allows us to do server-side rendering for the more complex journey."

Next up, Sam Hopkins, Technical Lead & DnB Dancer @titantraveluk from @AND_Digital.

"Yes, that is my real title.

What's really cool about @ANDdigital is that we're a 'people-first' digital company - they don't treat you 'as just another developer."

- Sam Hopkins

"We used @strapijs, it's this really cool lightweight, open source, CMS.

What was really cool about Strapi is the GraphQL plugin that allowed us to query our data"

Finally! We are going to find out who the "mysterious 19th-century Russian man" @williamheslam teased earlier in the week.

He's kicking off his story with a journey through time from David Hilbert to Haskell Curry to Raymond Smullyan...

PT 2.

OR... Dependency injection!

Pros:
-Pure, avoids mutating global dependencies
-Explicit, makes it clear what a component does or does not use

Cons:
- Unwieldy when composing components...

#React #JavaScript #testing

[JavaScript Exchange @JavaScript_Ex]

Based on his Career-o-meter, @williamheslam explains:
PT1. "Each of the four child components has internal state, which makes them hard to test."

Can we avoid this?

"We could consolidate all the state into a 'smart' parent component, making the children all pure components"...

Next of @williamheslam kicking off with a "Dev Career Simulator 2020" - just be sure not to click "extended Twitter Rant", spoiler alert it doesn't go well.

"I think we can all agree, I think everyone can agree Oak is a very easy to use framework that is very very productive!"

Learn more about @pablo_magaz and how to create Rest API using @deno_land & Oak, here:

[JavaScript Exchange @JavaScript_Ex]

"Oak, the middleware framework for Deno’s HTTP server, is highly influenced by Go and one of the greatest things about #Oak, is its simplicity."

And we're off! @pablo_magaz kicks off JSX7 by introducing us to @deno_land.

Built by the original creator of @nodejs Ryan Dahl, and built on Google's #V8 #Javascript engine, #Deno is hailed as a "productive scripting environment for the modern programmer".

Take a look:
