Cogitools Software

Hello JavaScript & PHP friends. This month we’re contining our Zoom-based virtual meetups this week on Thursday @ 7PM (Nov 19).

This month Ryan McQuerry is going to show how to get all the fancy javascripty goodness you need for modern websites without leaving php by using Livewire — a component for Laravel that makes building dynamic interfaces simple and clear. He’ll share how it works and what makes it nice for things like basic cruding and more.

This is going to be an excellent talk. Hope you can make it.

Hello PHP friends. This month we’re continuing our Zoom-based virtual meetups this week on Thursday @ 7PM (Oct 15).

This month Ron Northrip (@ronnorthrip) is going to talk about Laravel 8’s new generators and scaffolding tools.

There has been a lot of confusion about the Laravel 8’s new scaffolding tools. There are lots of options in part because the community is trying to adopt new and cool tech that could simplify your work. So we’ll walk through them together and talk about what they deliver and why you might consider using this to start your next project.

Video from KYJSUG - Building APIs with NestJS - Thur Aug 20 7PM

Hello JavaScript friends. We’re excited to start things up after a bit of a break for the summer. Of course, for the time being things are going to be entirely virtual on Zoom.

This month Chris Wininger is going to share his recent experiences using NestJS, a complete framework for creating server side applications in NodeJS. It will look very familiar to people that have used advanced web frameworks in other languages like Rails or SpringBoot. He will examine NestJS, implement a simple API and discussing some of the advantages and disadvantages of using such a framework.

This is going to be a fantastic talk. Hope you can make it.

KY JavaScript Users Group Meeting Thursday Aug 20 at 7 PM Virtually on Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89545741273 Meeting ID: 895 4574 1273

Here’s the zoom meeting details:

Infinite Industries (https://infinite.industries) works to promote art and culture in Lexington, Kentucky. It’s a great place to learn about anything from a punk rock show to the latest gallery opening.

The infrastructure that powers Infinite Industries is being developed as an open source stack anyone can contribute to. We hope it can act as a back-end for anyone in Lexington with events to share and that the code base will be useful to other cities around the country.

In this talk, Dima Strakovsky, Chris Wininger and Matthew Gidcomb will discuss the technical underpinnings of the project as well as the organizational challenges of running an open source project. We’ll discuss the choices we’ve made and the pros and cons found along the way.

Some Technologies Discussed Will Include: NodeJS • Vue • Nuxt • JavaScript

Bill Kidwell is going to take us through his recent experiences creating a GraphQL API using AWS Appsync and AWS Amplify. He’ll cover data model and data access patterns. And updating the GraphQL schema using Appsync’s custom annotations. The result is a DynamoDB backed GraphQL API. He’ll even discuss more complex use cases too.

This is going to be a fantastic talk. Come on out!

Samuel Fonseca is going to share his experience creating one application with two complete different approaches. He wrote a homebrew code app and then migrated (the code and his thinking) to a framework for a fuller and more consistent user experience.

Should be an interesting story. Come out and join us.

Test Driven Development (TDD) has become the demarcation between senior and junior dev (or maybe hacker and engineer). It will change the way that you think and the quality of the code you deliver. Come see how to use this approach to building a VueJS component. We will discuss testing frameworks and tooling as well.

We’ve setup a Google Form for your to submit your topics: https://forms.gle/GM6dAWYGsY4yF5Nj7

Get Feedback. Learn New Skills. Share Your Struggles. Come Share Your Code With US.

Plan for your topics to be 15, 25, or 40 minutes. We’ve going to group the talks by skill level as well, so we’re sure to deliver information at the speed the audience is already at. We’re going to send out a call for presentations as we get closer to the event and will open voting the day before the event.

Chris Wininger is going to take us through Web Assembly, a new technology that is available in virtually all modern browsers. What can you do with it? How can you build for it? This talk will demonstrate the use of Rust to target we web assembly, showing how to get your development environment up and running. In addition I will demo some of what I’ve been cooking up with Web Assembly.

I’ll be presenting Building Mobile Apps with Javascript and Ionic

Ionic is an open source, front-end SDK for developing Hybrid Mobile Applications using web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It provides mobile optimised web technology based components as well as native APIs using Cordova and Ionic Native. Ron Northrip take us through building and testing locally and on a device and shipping to the App Stores.

Justin Hall will be showing us Flutter – a mobile app SDK for building high-performance, high-fidelity, apps for iOS and Android, from a single codebase. Learn to Flutter with an introduction, demonstration, and discussion about the SDK, Dart language, and development environment that enables developers to deliver high-performance apps that feel natural on different platforms.

Ron Northrip is going to take us through a basic approach to test driven development and how you can start to add tests to your current or next project. We’ll talk about the kinds of tests and how to use them and we’ll run through how to think about your tasks from a test-first perspective, and show how putting the test first makes it easy to refactor going forward.

Bradford Condon is going to share his experience building and working with Continuous Integration systems that are central to driving your software’s quality and your team’s agility.

Continuous integration (CI) is a software development paradigm originally designed to reduce the number of conflicting changes across multiple developers.  There are many services for a CI project that can greatly improve code quality and deployment pipelines.  In this talk, He will cover the setup and benefits of adding unit testing, code coverage analyses, and code style sniffing to an open source project.  He will also share his experience adding these services to the open-source Drupal-based community Tripal (http://tripal.info), a toolkit for genomic websites.   We will also discuss workflow details, including Composer, Travis CI, PHPUnit, and code climate.
