Tales from a front-end dev going on call
Steve Hornsey will share his experience of going on call, what he learned and how it made him a better developer.
The Ultimate Mashup: Combining e2e Tests With BDD Specifications
Testing the workflow of any application can be challenging to automate. Unit tests are great to perform isolated testing on a given frontend component. However, it proves difficult to test a full screen workflow across components, nevermind the interactions taking place across the technology stack.
End to end testing frameworks provide an opportunity to address such challenges. However, even though such obstacles are overcome, the testing format adopted by e2e testing frameworks isn’t really stakeholder friendly. It can take time for new developers to understand the workflow and tests, especially if they are new to e2e testing.
In this talk Carly will share her experiences on how combining Behavioural Driven Development specifications with e2e testing frameworks can help produce more accessible user testing. She’ll also share an example of best practices using Cucumber and Protractor, and discuss the options you have when looking to test your application end to end.

This event is being run in partnership with the London Java Community.
We're back with our 10th Lunchtime Lightning Talks session with talks including 'Hypermedia-Driven RESTful Web Service with Clojure, Liberator, HAL, and OpenTelemetry', 'How technology empowers remote working ' and more.
This is going to be run in a similarly informal style to an unconference, in that the right talks will be done by the people that are there. We will aim to have a maximum of 4-5 lightning talks. You can tune in and tune out as you wish. The talks can be on anything you’re interested in.
We will keep it very light (pardon the pun) and hopefully it will be a bit of fun before the weekend to enjoy over your lunch hour.
As we’ve often talked about, lightning talks are a great opportunity to try, test or hone your speaking and presentation skills. They are usually under 7 minutes, with 2 minutes of Q+A. If you'd like to give a talk at the event please get in touch or sign up on Eventbrite and select the "I'd like to give a lightning talk" ticket.

Keep Calm and Fasten Your Seatbelt
Modern web development has many challenges and of those, security is both very important and often under-emphasised. Many of today’s data security professionals are beginning to recognise that unprotected web applications have become attractive targets for cybercriminals looking for easy entry points into their networks. It’s time to get serious about Web App Security
Effectively Testing React Applications
Over the last couple of years testing our apps became standard practice in the industry. Textbooks and research papers state clear benefits and how it can impact business success in the long term sustainability of a product, what they don't tell you is that ineffective testing can have a bigger negative impact on the code maintainability and product stability than no tests at all.
In this talk, we will be looking at some of the practices, tools, and approaches seen in the wild for testing react apps, we will be looking at what worked well and what didn't and how we can do better with code snippets and a small live coding session.

An introduction to FINOS and how we help you contribute to Fintech Open Source
James McLeod will give an introduction to FINOS - Fintech Open Source Foundation. Learn more about what they are focusing on, how they can help you contribute to Fintech Open Source and where you might want to get involved.
Why we choose React for a Large Scale Financial Trading Platform
In this talk, Keith Bloom will illustrate why React is increasingly being leveraged to build zero-failure trading platforms, for the biggest investment banks and financial institutions in the world. We'll start from altitude, looking across multiple teams spanning hundreds of developers - we'll talk about how React's simple APIs and no-hassle frameworks specifically accelerates development for the biggest trading platforms. We'll then zoom in gradually all the way through to the experience of an individual developer, all while illustrating the points throughout with hard-core technical examples.
About the Speaker
James McLeod is Director of Community at FINOS and wholeheartedly believes the transformation of Financial Services can only be fulfilled if Open Source is embraced under the three pillars of Contribution, Consumption and Community. James also founded “React London - Bring Your Own Project”, a London based meetup with over 1500 ReactJS members.
You can email James at james@finos.org to find out how you can contribute to the amazing work of the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS).

Introduction to Nuxt and Headless CMS - Alessandro Giordo
An introduction to how Nuxt works, as well as how to setup Nuxt with a headless CMS (WordPress or others) and how this can improve your workflow.
Frontend State Management with React Apollo - Tatenda Chawanzwa
State management has come along since the JQuery days (when arguably there was no need to handle frontend application state). With the burgeoning of single page applications has come the need for better state management, enter frameworks such as flux, redux, vuex and NGRX to name a few which all serve the big three, React, Vue and Angular.
In this talk, Tatenda Chawanzwa will look at new upcoming state management for Graphql. Specifically, he will talk on react-apollo, how to integrate with React, fire Queries/Mutations and update the local cache created by React apollo. He will also delve into how we can implement a global state store for even local variables with the @client directive. This way we can completely do away the need for redux and use react-apollo in built cache. He will also look at how we can write simple tests for this.
This will be a hands on talk. You're encouraged to bring your laptop with Node and npm installed. A github link will be provided to clone the repo to follow along with.
About the Speakers
Alessandro Giordo is a Frontend Developer working for Vodafone UK. He works mostly with Vue.js and React, and public speaks about Nuxt and other cool tech. In his spare time, he likes eating Pizza
Tatenda Chawanzwa has been a commercial software developer for 3 years. He has worked for startups in the beauty and well-being space, as well as blockchain. He is now contracting, consulting for companies such as Sky and is currently working with Eurostar where he uses all the technologies he intends to showcase in his talk.

What goes on in the Front Endgineers?
We are hoping to run a variety of regular events ranging from social events to technical presentations. On top of the events we aim to run prize draws and develop an active mailing list/forum. We will support the Graduate Development Community in London and promote London based Open Source Software projects where possible.
Who can join?
Membership is restricted to Software Engineers with an interest in Front End technologies working in or around London (or those hoping to train into these technologies, or relocate to London).
Is there a fee to join, is there a fee for the events?
It’s completely free to join and our events will be completely free.
How do I join?
Just click on the link on this page to sign up to the mailing list, you'll hear of all of our latest news and events and can take part in the monthly prize draws.
Do you have to go to every presentation?
Absolutely not - it’s completely up to you which events you attend and which you don’t. Every event attracts a different crowd.
