La Fosse is proud to co-organise the JavaScript London Meetup, hosted by Richard Moss and Sam Barcia. Bringing together a community of people passionate about JavaScript, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing – and it’s also the most rewarding.

Richard originally engaged with Sam and La Fosse during his latest role. Both Sam and Ricahard shared their keen interest in building the best community for JavaScript professionals, so together they committed to host more frequent and varied events, bringing together both their connections and experiences.

This meetup will be in person, kindly sponsored by Rightmove and including pizza 🍕, beer 🍻, and maybe some additional surprises 🙂

Talks:

Useful TypeScript patterns you might not know about – Apurva Deshpande

In this talk, we’ll explore some helpful techniques to get the most out of the TypeScript compiler (including type predicates and discriminated unions) with examples. We’ll also take a look at decorators, new in TypeScript 5.0, and how they can make your developer life easier.

Serverless Framework: Fully managed micro-services on cloud without the stress of a server – Nicola Cogotti

In this talk, we’ll explore how to use Serverless Framework to create complex infrastructures deployed on public clouds (AWS in particular, but all major clouds are supported) to meet the highest quality standards in the most cost-effective way using Typescript.
