Announcing October JavaScript Marathon - Free, online training!

Join us October 28th, 2020 for our next JavaScript Marathon!

JavaScript Marathon is a full day of free, online courses on React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and more. Come learn about some of the leading web development technologies, and concepts!

Stay for one training, or stick around for the whole day! No two sessions will be the same!


React Hooks 201

Featuring Kyle Hill @ 11:00am - 12:00pm EDT

It might have taken a little while, but: have you mastered the use of useState, and maybe even (mostly) understand what useEffect is doing at this point? Cool. Let’s level up our React Hooks skills further by diving into some of the other tools in our box. We’ll leverage useContext and useReducer to create an easy to implement interaction and data flow that scales along with your application and your team.


TypeScript for Beginners

Featuring Dacey Nolan @ 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT

During this introduction to TypeScript, we will cover what TypeScript is, what benefits it provides, and how you can use it in your projects. Code with me or just follow along as we dive into each of the types and learn how to use them.


Automating GraphQL Client Code Generation

Featuring Kevin Wolf @ 3:30pm - 4:30pm EDT

In this talk, we will learn how to streamline Front End Development by generating type-safe GraphQL Operations for Apollo Client.


Building GraphQL Resolvers

Featuring Josh Oppenheim @ 5:00pm - 6:00pm EDT

Have you ever wanted to know how graphql resolvers work or why we use them? In this training we will talk about the philosophy behind resolvers and how they fit in the greater GraphQL flow. We will take a look at how the graphql-js library implements them and we will write some of our own. We will discuss some possible requests from consumers and write resolvers to accommodate the needs presented.
