THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS

Peers Conference Workshops

April 25, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm
RSVP FOR THIS EVENT

Peers is an inclusive and people-focused tech event for web and software developers. But more that that – we are a community – and our connection is deeper than our code. We aim to offer an opportunity to learn, grow, and share, with folks who do what you do. We’ve traded the velvet rope atmosphere of some conferences for a friendly hello, and often, a hug or two. We promise, you’ll feel the difference.

 

WORKSHOPS

 

Hands On Learning CSS Grid

ADRIANA DE LA CUADRA

UX Designer, Bitovi

Grid CSS is here for designers and developers to take layouts and implementations to the next level. It is being adopted by browsers very quickly and will soon be a required tool on your toolbox. In this workshop you will learn how to start using CSS grid, including fallbacks and overrides to tackle browser support. Learn by quickly building common UI patterns and using CSS grid as structure, and experiment with the possibilities that CSS grid offers for laying out content in a creative way.

 

Intro to GraphQL

LEANNE SHAPTON

Back-end Developer, Shopify

Join Shopify to learn all about GraphQL, an API query language created by Facebook to make it easier to request only the information you need from APIs, speeding up your development and your apps. This workshop features:

  • A closer look at the advantages to using GraphQL over REST
  • A fun tutorial on building a web-based game that features in-app purchases, powered by GraphQL and the Shopify Storefront API

You’ll come away with first-hand working knowledge of an up and coming player in the API space!

 

Intro to building apps with React

SAMANTHA GEITZ

Senior Developer, Tighten

By now, you’ve surely heard the hype over React, Facebook’s wildly popular JavaScript framework. Whether you want to build JavaScript-driven single-page applications or just add a small amount of front-end functionality to an existing website, React is a fantastic tool to have in your toolbelt — you can even use it for mobile and virtual reality apps!

In this hands-on workshop, we will learn the fundamentals of React by building an app from the ground up and see how easy it is to hook it up to a back-end for real-time interactivity.

 

Developing with Craft 3

RYAN IRELAN

Owner, Mijingo

Craft 3 is here! We’ll identify key improvements, and address making important decisions about how to model your content requirements in Craft.

We’ll build a simple site and introduce you to templating changes and solutions. We’ll also cover debugging in Craft 3, its new Multi-site capabilities and how to use Services via the craft.app.

New to Craft? No problem. Whether you’re upgrading from v.2 or starting fresh you’ll walk away with the strategy and code you need to approach your next project.
