Come through the street-side (NOT river-side) entrance and check in with security before taking the elevator to the 8th floor and checking in for the event in the lounge.

Grab food, drinks, and mingle with other guests, Jet engineers, and recruiters before the event starts.

In this demo, Yuyang Wang will build a simple app from scratch with class components and convert it into a function component with the power of React hooks.

Key takeaways:

• Why I loved class components and why I started to hate it
• What are React hooks and how do they produce less and cleaner code

BIO: Yuyang Wang is a software engineer for Jet.com 

As the web develops over time, it grows closer to becoming a full-blown application platform. In this talk, Blake Zimmerman will discuss how to create a web application that spans across multiple browser windows that share state, similar to a multi-window desktop application.

BIO: Blake Zimmerman is a software engineer building cutting-edge tools for a stealth team under Store No. 8, the incubation arm of Walmart. 

We'll take a break and give you time to approach the first two speakers with any questions you may have or meet with our recruiters.

Xavier Lozinguez will present how to use xState to model stateful, reactive systems and declaratively describe the behavior of your application from individual components to overall application logic.

BIO: Xavier Lozinguez is a front-end staff engineer working on the Customer Experience team at Jet.com

That's a wrap! Feel free to stick around for a bit to approach the speakers with any questions you may have and to meet fellow guests and Jet engineers.

Doors will close at 8:30 p.m.
