We’ll have a handful of short talks on a variety of interesting topics, including… ### React Hooks — The Weird Ones React hooks offer a better way to add state and side effects to your components. The built-in hooks can be composed and combined to create rich, shareable interactions and behaviours. You may already know how and when to use `useState()` and `useEffect()`, but what about `useImperativeHandle()`? How about `useLayoutEffect()` or `useDebugValue()`? **Adam L Barrett** will dive into the lesser known React hooks and discuss what they do and when to use them. ![](https://www.bitovi.com/hubfs/Adam%20Barrett%20headshot.jpg) ### Intro to Monadic Composition in Functional Programming Have you wondered how functional programming languages deal with side effects and asynchronous computations? In his talk, **Ilya Fadeev** will show you how to apply functional programming principles to write better code. He’ll discuss what “monadic composition” is and how you can use it to write your modules in a more functional way. ![](https://www.bitovi.com/hubfs/headshot-04-square.jpg) ### UX Discovery: Finding the “Wow!” Moment User Experience folks know the value of what they do, but getting the client on board is a “seeing is believing” exercise. In his talk, **Ryan Wilson** will show how including the stakeholder in the Discovery Phase builds trust and proves the value of the UX practitioners on the project. ![](https://www.bitovi.com/hubfs/ryan-headshot-2019sq.jpg) ### Register today! After the talks, we’ll have a group chat to discuss the presentations, talk with the presenters, and put the *meet* in meetup.
