1) Cats, Burrito, and Laziness
Ever wondered how pure functional programming could work in the industry? How do Haskell programmers write code to launch missiles? And what's up with those monad tutorials? In this talk, I'll talk about how paidy uses Scala, cats-effect, and pure functional programming to process more than 100,000 payments a day.
2) Modernize Data Layer using Cloud Native Database
Join us to discuss the evolution of databases and explore the benefits of Cloud Native Distributed SQL for modernizing the data layer using YugabyteDB, a 100% open-source distributed cloud-native transactional database that is designed to provide NewSQL capabilities by offering SQL & NoSQL API's with the horizontal scalability, geo-distribution, and resilience of cloud-native architectures.
See you there 👋

Hackerschool: Introduction to React
Date&Time: 15 Oct 2022 10am-12.30pm
Venue: Seminar Room @ LT19 (COM2) + Zoom
📝 SIGN UP HERE
This week, we will go through React. React is a JavaScript library that makes creating interactive UIs painless. This workshop will explore the basic fundamentals of React to get you started with building rich and interactive web pages. We will start with the basics of React, such as JSX, creating and composing React Components, passing React props, and using React state. In the process, we will create a simple todo list that supports CRUD operations, and set up continuous delivery (CD) by deploying it to Vercel.
All you need to attend this event is a laptop with wireless internet access and either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
Some basic knowledge of JavaScript is assumed. You may find this past session of Hackerschool on JavaScript useful.
See you there!

Do you want to make a dynamic website but find JavaScript and the various frameworks too intimidating to learn? Flask has come to your rescue!
Flask is a micro framework for writing web applications in Python. This eases the development process as Flask is easy to get started with, only requiring basic HTML/CSS knowledge. This workshop will introduce the development process with a few simple examples to showcase the possibilities.
An IDE (e.g. PyCharm) is highly recommended though not required, do at least set up Python on your local machine beforehand to attend the workshop.
