Programming the Cloud with TypeScript
JavaScript has been applied to a wide variety of domains over the last few decades - from web to server and IoT to serverless. One domain that has resisted this trend is Cloud Infrastructure, which is still largely managed by copy/pasting YAML files or pointing and clicking in web consoles. A new breed of solutions is showing how real programming languages like JavaScript and TypeScript can be used to bring the many benefits of these languages for enabling more robust software engineering to our increasingly complex and critical cloud infrastructure. In this talk, Luke Hoban will review the unique benefits of applying programming languages in general, and TypeScript in particular, to the cloud infrastructure domain - highlight a few of the projects that are leading the industry shift in this direction - and show examples of using TypeScript and Pulumi to build everything from serverless applications on AWS to Kubernetes applications on Google Cloud.

State Management for React Using Context and Hooks
Redux is one of the most popular approchaes to state management in React applications. However, it comes with a decent amount of boilerplate plus it often ends up being used everywhere, no matter the context or app size. This talk explores a barebones alternative approach to state management that...
