Dave and Eric from Idea list.org will be sharing some interesting stuff (details below) with us\ , and we're hoping to have one additional talk. Please let us know if yo u're interested in speaking/presenting. We'd like to have at least a few lightning talks as well. I have a feeling this will fill up fast\, so p lease RSVP if you would like to attend this event. \;\n \;\nIf you are new to our group\, Welcome! If you would like to get more involved or hear what we're talking about\, we'd like to invite you to [join our google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/portland-reactjs) to join the conversations or start a new one. Also\, please take a look at our [code of conduct](https://github.com/portland-react-js/meetup/blo b/master/code-of-conduct.md) which let's you know what we think "\;b eing excellent to each other"\; should look and feel like. \;\n&# 13\;\n##Talks: \;\n###Notes on the Design of Components (Dave McCabe ) \;\nDave will discuss what idealist.org has learned about designing React components\, specifically techniques for promoting simplicity\, r euse\, statelessness\, and separation of concerns\, and for dealing with asynchrony. \;\n \;\n###Isomorphic Webpack Hot Module Replacement Boilerplate (Eric O'Connell) \;\n- Do you want to serve fully-render ed HTML from your React application? \;\n- Do you want near-instant feedback in your browser as soon as you edit your React components? \;\n- How about CSS? \;\n \;\nThis talk will give the starting po int for a very nice dev environment using the webpack Hot Module Replace ment feature. It will include a (trivial) Express app that renders the e ntire React component hierarchy which will then be hydrated on the clien t. Variations shown will include serving API requests out of the same ap p\, and shared client/server routing. \;\n \;\n###TBD / Lightning talks \;\nGet in touch with us if you'd like to share your experience s!\n\nTags: reactjs\, react\, node\, javascript\, functional programming \, beer\, pizza\, GF\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504 67673 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Portland-ReactJS/ SUMMARY:Portland ReactJS meetup LOCATION:Idealist.org: 209 SW Oak St Suite 101\, Portland OR 97204 us SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150324T212240Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150401T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150401T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150324T212240Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150324T212240Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250468107 DESCRIPTION:Unable to attend the Nonprofit Technology Conference?
