Call for Speakers – February 2018 about berlinjs.org HOT 14 CLOSED

I'd love to talk to the BerlinJS community about docs! Here is my info, let me know if you have any questions 😺

Basically, it's an extension of the lightning talk I gave at React Day Berlin because people were like 'Ok cool Carolyn use case driven docs sound nice... but how do I actually implement this?' So I wanted to add more content and rework it so that it focuses more on how it fits in a workflow, etc.

Humanizing Your Documentation
It’s no secret that people don’t usually read technical documentation for pleasure. Users often come to your docs when they are frustrated, disappointed and at their lowest. In this talk, we’ll discuss how the language we use affects our users, the first steps towards writing use case-driven docs, and how to implement this in your developer workflow.
Runtime: 20-25 minutes

Wonders of Typescript type system
Lately, we observe the rise of typed additions to Javascript language like Typescript or Flow. They all seamlessly blend with Javascript while providing additional type safety. This interop with existing ecosystem forced language designers to explore ideas like gradual and structural typing. In my talk, I want to present extraordinary features of Typescript type system while building something practical — React, Redux web app.
Runtime: 25-30 min

Make a Lambda Calculus: Functional Programming in JavaScript... without JavaScript
Functional programming concepts have the reputation of being hard to learn. If we start from first principles, however, they don't have to be. In this talk, I'll demonstrate how we can implement the entire universe of FP from scratch, using only JavaScript arrow functions.
I have done this as a 2 hour workshop, but I happy to condense it into a 20-30 minute "taster" for this meetup.

The Little Things – An introduction to JS code golfing

Code golfing – a wonderful world of tiny unreadable programs that do a lot more than you’d think by their size. Let’s have a look at the JS1k competition, Tetris in 512 bytes, and how to join if you are interested. Most importantly though let’s have some fun with JavaScript without all the requirements, dependencies, and concerns we have when creating “production-ready” code.

@veu @carolstran Since we've talked about your talks before, I'm very glad to see you here :) I'd love to have you on February :) We'll add you to the website ASAP

@veu how long do you think your talk would be?

@krzkaczor @sjsyrek would March work for you as well? February is pretty full and we also have #242 waiting for a couple of months already and we want to keep it at 3 talks per night, as it tends to run too long if we have even more talks :)

@rmehner Hey, it's fine for me!

from berlinjs.org.

@rmehner It will be 20-25 minutes.

from berlinjs.org.

@rmehner I'd like to submit a talk for the march one too. Should I do it here or wait for the March Call for Speakers?

from berlinjs.org.

@krzkaczor Can you still do February? Sorry for the confusion :) If so, I'd love to put you on the website.

from berlinjs.org.

@rmehner yes, sure! It's actually very lucky because I just realized that I will be out of town for March.

from berlinjs.org.

@krzkaczor just put you on the website, welcome! Please aim for the 20 minute mark, as three talks in one evening is a lot to take in for the attendees :)

from berlinjs.org.

@rmehner I think that ought to be feasible. Do I need to post another issue comment for March?

from berlinjs.org.

@sjsyrek I'll do that by hand :)
