developerjackWelcome good readers!
This edition is brought to you from #Hack4Refugees! Teams hacking on their ideas over the past 24 hours with a focus on solving problems for new Australians! Some of the big themes are skills recognition and service discovery. This is honestly one of the most humbling and smile-invoking events of the calendar (i.e. you totally have to be here next year)!
You might have also seen my “Minimum Viable Rainbow” talk at #githubconstellation on Wednesday where I shared that pride.codes is on track to serve half a million rainbows by the close of the Marriage Equality Survey. Quite frankly: woohoo! =D
So to this week’s links! I’ve been so busy speaking and mentoring I’ve barely done any reading so just three to share today.
Real-world Web Performance Budgets
Performance budgets are a great way to help guide you and a team to make conscious decisions about the way to structure and design your web applications with a focus on performance and user experience. This is especially relevant on Australian internet where it can take a few seconds to even reach first render.
Read the post.How To Make Friends & Influence People at Conferences
Michelle’s awesome post is relevant to any tech events (but its great for conferences). I also look at it from an event organisers perspective fishing for ideas on how to make more inclusive and social events for everyone that attends! If you have a colleague or friend who is yet to join you at a tech event, perhaps share this link.
Read the post.Choosing a frontend framework in 2017
Despite the exclusion of VueJS this is a wonderful and somewhat brief summary for anyone playing catch up to the JavaScript framework scene… like I am!
Read the post.We’re on the rapid approach to the end of the year and that means rumours of a MeetupMixup in Sydney! Stay tuned for announcements to come over on the @meetupmixup twitters!
Until next week!
