Speaker: Manjula Dube Bio:  I am 24 years old currently working at BookMyShow as Senior Developer and have been obsessed with coding since I graduated out of college.I am public speaker discussing tech all time. I love to work with JavaScript and front end technologies like Angular, Backbone, jQuery, React and exploring new frameworks and stacks all the time. I have built my own network of friends in the Mumbai developer community wherever I have attended conferences and hackathons. I also delivered a well received talk at a JS Conf and one full 2-day ES6 workshop and have received great feedback from both these events. I am an organizer of Mumbai Women Coders Community. I am leading Google Developer Group WTM Mumbai Chapter. Here are the links you can go through manjuladube.com & http://myresume.now.sh/ Target Audience: Intermediate JS experience ========================================================================== Time: 12.00 pm  - 1.00 pm  Session:  Next-gen React state management with mobx-state-tree Speaker: Prashant Tiwari Bio:  Redux is amazing, MobX is awesome. The former championed highly predictable UI state as an immutable data structure, the latter showed how observables get the work done with zero boilerplate. mobx-state-tree (by the author of MobX) is a snapshotable state container that brings together the best of both worlds. It eliminates the complexity involved in maintaining explicit actions and reducers while providing highly efficient reactive state derivations with replayable actions and time travel. In this talk, I'll show an example of MST in action in a small React project. Target Audience: Intermediate React experience ========================================================================== LUNCH BREAK ========================================================================== Time: 1.45 pm  - 2.30 pm  Title: Building a meme generator using Nodejs, Headless Chrome and React Takeaways/Learnings React, flexbox, CSS image filters in the frontend Building API’s and serving static assets from the server Headless chrome and how to use it for different things Docker and its basics for deploying the backend and frontend Speakers: Karan Thakkar Bio: I work as the Tech Lead for the Web team at Crowdfire which is a startup in India building the world's first AI Marketing Assistant. I love learning new technologies by building interesting apps using them. Some examples would be: Tweetify & Show My PR's I love writing about things I learn and sharing them with the community. I’ve been featured in HuffingtonPost in the past for https://bit.ly/hackingtwitter and have written quite a few technical posts since then. You can find me on Twitter or Github or read more about me here. Target Audience: Beginner React Experience ========================================================================== Time: 2.30 pm  - 3.30 pm  Session: Introduction to Preact - a smaller and faster alternative to react Some of you might have heard about preact and may have even played around with it. Let’s dig a little deeper and explore the factors that make preact awesome. We will look at the advantages of preact over react, how easy it is to get up and running a project using preact-cli. Speaker : Anup Kumar Bio: Anup is a JavaScript fanboy. He is a front-end developer at IBS Unified and core contributor to Preact CLI. While he is not reviewing the PRs and drafting releases, he builds PWA’s with Preact. ========================================================================== Time: 3.30 pm - 4.30 pm Session: Scheduling background tasks in JavaScript to boost performance and DOM interactivity at large scale. Speaker: Vivek Jagtap JavaScript is single threaded, and your functions often needs to be run as soon as possible, but at the same time, you don’t want it to get in the user’s way. For example, you send analytics data when the user is scrolling the page, or you append elements to the DOM while they happen to be tapping on the button, your web page / app can become unresponsive, resulting in a poor user experience. With requestIdleCallback, requestAnimationFrame and a scheduler, we wil see how to schedule or put less priority/non-essential tasks in queue, and execute them without getting in the user’s way.We will also see, how to priotize tasks so that user does not feel the lag. Bio:  I work with Housing.com as part of Front End team. ========================================================================== End of  MTP Talks ========================================================================== Time: 1.00 pm  - 1.45 pm  Session : OpenStack 7th Birthday Celebrations in Mumbai Community link: https://www.meetup.com/Indian-OpenStack-User-Group/events/241332157/ ========================================================================== Time: 4.30 pm - 5.30 pm 5th NetSquared Meetup: Storymakers 2017 NetSquared gathers together nonprofits and activists, tech leaders and funders, and everyone who's interested in using technology for social change.
