The Hunt for the Unicorn Performance Metric
New technologies like serverless and bots are changing the face of development.
Developers today have the blessing and the curse of a plethora of tools. On the one hand, we have pretty much all of our bases covered - often for free. On the other, it can be tough to keep pace with all the tools and what they are good for.
In this month’s meetup, we’ll explore a couple of these tools and get to know them. First, Chris Coyier will go through CodePen and how to take advantage of this social development environment for front-end designers and developers. Then Shannon Soper will explore GatsbyJS, a blazing-fast static site generator for React.
CodePen is an online code editor for front end code. Let’s dig into how you use and get into some trickery you might not know about even if you’re a seasoned CodePen user.
Learn what makes GatsbyJS sites so fast and hear from other developers why they like building with Gatsby. Then, watch how you can start building a highly performant site in just a few minutes. Finally, learn how to contribute to Gatsby as an open source project and get a sneak peak at upcoming feature releases.
Chris is a web designer and developer. He writes about all things web at CSS-Tricks, talks about all things web at conferences around the world and on his podcast ShopTalk, and co-founded CodePen, a social development environment.
Shannon works doing UX research at GatsbyJS. She is a Utah native who enjoys teaching and performing music and keeping up with her dog’s Instagram fans. She teaches college-level writing on the side.
