[![2023-01-26 - London.JS at Birdie](https://www.finos.org/hs-fs/hubfs/External%20Events/2023-01-26%20-%20London.JS%20at%20Birdie.png?width=374&height=210&name=2023-01-26%20-%20London.JS%20at%20Birdie.png)](https://www.meetup.com/london-js/events/290420760/)

#### From the organizers:

 

Doors open at 6:00pm, **London.JS** starts at 6:30pm, with the event ending around 8:30pm. 

**Shane Osbourne** - Web Components: The Worst Thing to Happen to Front-End Development Since Table Layouts.

Are you tired of clean, modular code? Are you sick of reusable, easily maintainable components? Well, have I got a solution for you! Introducing Web Components: the most frustrating & convoluted way to build your front-end projects.

We'll delve into the many ways that Web Components fail to live up to the hype. We'll explore the cumbersome implementation process, endless browser compatibility issues, & the sheer confusion that comes with trying to use these so-called "components."

If you're using React, Vue, or Svelte, you probably want to hear what I have to say. Defend yourselves from that 'new hire' that always says 'but why not Web Components'.

*Shane is a software engineer with over 10 years of experience. He's the author of the popular Open Source project [https://browsersync.io/](https://browsersync.io/) & is currently working at DuckDuckGo.*

**Nishi Ajmera** - Building lightweight apps the svelte way

During my session, I will discuss leveraging Sveltekit to build lightweight apps, including the architecture & performance benefits of Svelte over other JavaScript frameworks & its real world use cases, deployment methodologies & best practices.

*Nishi is Senior Associate of Technology at Publicis Sapient who leads full stack software development whilst being AWS, Azure & GCP certified.*

**Stephen Heyes** - Break it down now: Birdie's journey with micro frontends

For the past year or so, Birdie has been experimenting with micro frontend architecture. In this talk, I will break down what a micro frontend application is, why we moved to it, & what we’ve learnt along the way.

*Stephen believes that technology's purpose is to improve people's lives. Technology is a tool that when utilised properly can bring great & powerful change. Stephen finds the possibility of this transformation exciting & it inspires him to explore the many ways this can be achieved.*

**Raman Rai** - Leading with empathy to create inclusive design.

Explore how we can channel our emotions towards exclusion to drive inclusive thinking and create a satisfying future for all.

*Raman is a multi-award winning Product Manager at PwC UK who has worked on globally released product Perform Plus to help create world-class huddles.*

Come to **London.JS** & learn more about the changing face of JavaScript across all industry landscapes.
