Our first talk night of the year!
7pm: NativeScript - Sebastian Witalec
NativeScript is an OpenSource framework that lets you use JavaScript to build native mobile applications utilising platform specific, native API calls. It supports iOS, Android, and soon Windows Universal. In this talk, you will learn how to build a native mobile app with just a bit of JavaScript and XML.
7:45pm: Lightning Talks
Thinking about testability - Roy Smith
When writing JS apps we tend to structure our code for elegance, DRY, future-expansion, reusability, and readability. In my experience, bottom of the list of concerns tends to be testability. I'll show two techniques that I use that have proven invaluable in speeding up iterative development as well as facilitating automated tests.
