Reactive Javascript aproach from trenches to community

“In computing, reactive programming is a declarative programming paradigm concerned with data streams and the propagation of change.
This means that it becomes possible to express static (e.g. arrays) or dynamic (e.g. event emitters) data streams with ease via the employed programming language(s), and that an inferred dependency within the associated execution model exists, which facilitates the automatic propagation of the change involved with data flow.”

Many of you know me as the .net guy or the Angular Guy, but what i always say is we should consider and understand the problem and his
ramifications before you go to the technical stack or ecosystem.

And that had bring me in to two projects where mobile and cross platform was a topic and that the interface was must reactive.
The best toolset for that would be React Native and that was the solution, every one who knows me no how i make the choice and why i
choose so many times Angular or View over Angular, but that would be another post.

The buttom line is that i have launch 2 mobile projects powered by React Native one with a team and another as one man show and have deliver also some SPA’s in React.js.

 

God knows how much i think React is powerfull and how many times i say that not always having a good use especially in teams.

React is one off that technologies to easy and quick to enter, and many times difficult to make a right use.

That´s why after many requests i will launch soon a workshop where i will teach everything i had learn and the best pratices i have.

So keep tone and i hope soon to bring you all my trenches lessons of react.

And will be great to see the comparation, wins and lost of different toolsets to same problems, and how to excel with web development 🙂 of you around Portugal i hope to see you on

Trainner in a Workshop about Android Development @ opensoft Developers unit

Last week i had spent a couple of nights teaching Android 4 development at The OpenSoft Developer’s Unit. For the second time this year i had the pleasure to share some of my technological knowledge with this team. The first session was about some of the most in vogue HTML 5 features and the web offline storage, this time was about Android development.

Is always a great challenge to train a development team made of senior developers and high level architects, that have the mission to start a Android cross device app in the next month.

Was very good to give the quick start to the engines of this international development team. Hope to see your work done soon folks. The slides of this workshop are available at y slideshare and the hands on labs on my git.

ps: by the way before this session i had deliver this workshop 3 times,the first was at Innovagency the software development Companywhere i am CTO, then was at NHK a small technology education school, and them at LX factory to a independent Freelancer’s group.

Windows 8 train material

This week i had give for the second time this year a train session for quick ignition in to the windows 8 development.

Here the way i see things:

– First we should understand the user and the ui principles to real enter in to the metro world

– Then we need to know how the platform is build, to do the right choices

– Then we need to start developing testing and studying

For the ones who follow me where you have the slides i use in this  sessions feel free to use share and if you have any question feel free to ask.

Presenting at the Open software developer’s group

I was invited as a speaker to talk about Offline Webapplication at the private talks of Open software development teams.

Is funny to get back to their stage to talk about Web technologies…In the past they were one of my first class client’s when i was a freelancer core developer.

Thanks for the invite, will be a pleasure to get back, this time to speak about technology in a house where technology and sotware was always viewed as something free and important to make things go futher.
