VueJS [1]: The last front-end framework you will ever need

9:00 AM MDT

VueJS is the new contender for 'best front end framework' and is running a very close second place to React in popularity amongst knowledgable developers. It is gaining mindshare and has incredible momentum, all for very good reasons!

Join us for this introductory, full day workshop in which we fully explore everything that makes VueJS the last framework you will ever learn … because you won't ever want to use anything else again!

Upon completion, you will be armed with the skills and knowledge to create sophisticated VueJS components that:

• Define and use dynamic data constructs
• Dynamically update data views, content and styling based on realtime changes to data
• Animate transitions between views as well as when elements are added and removed from the view
• Define and dynamically invoke event handlers generated by UI elements
• Use Vuetify: amazing, mature and visually appealing UI widget library based on Material Design
• Install, configure and use the Vue Router.
• Install, configure and use Vuex to provide centralized application data management a la Redux

We will also explore deployment options and productionization of your application.

I look forward to sharing this amazing new contender in the front-end SPA framework space!

VueJS [1]: A 50,00 foot Vue! Getting started with VueJS

3:15 PM MDT

Vue is a new, powerful framework for building real-world applications. Enterprise ready, with a rich and diverse ecosystem, Vue is the currently ranked as the #2 front end framework and is rapidly gaining on its older brother, ReactJS. Join us for this first in a comprehensive series of session which will take you from blind novitiate to visionary VueJS expert in no time!

This first session in our VueJS series begins our journey to Vuetopia with an exploration of the basics of the framework including:

• Installing and configuring VueJS
• Creating basic Vue components and mounting them into your application.
• Basic framework elements/features such as:
  – dynamic data binding
  – dynamic handler registration and execution
  – defining and using computed properties
  – establishing watches and reacting to events
• Creating stand-alone components you can integrate, ad-hoc into ANY front end application regardless of what framework you are currently using.
• Communicating between stand-alone Vue components in a hybrid Vue / environment.
• Advanced Vue project setup and configuration
• Creating and using single file vue components.
• Customizing the language, template and style preprocessors for each component
• Finding and using core and community-supported vue Plug-ins
• Installing and using Vuetify (Material Design inspired UI component set)

VueJS [2]: Gazing deeper: Getting a better Vue of VueJS

5:00 PM MDT

Vue is a new, powerful framework for building real-world applications. Enterprise ready, with a rich and diverse ecosystem, Vue is the currently ranked as the #2 front end framework and is rapidly gaining on its older brother, ReactJS. Join us for this second in a comprehensive series of session which will take you from blind novitiate to visionary VueJS expert in no time!

In this second presentation in our VueJS series, we dive deeper in to VueJS and explore:

• Creating custom, reusable components:
  – Custom event generation
  – Defining and using component Props
  – Leveraging Data and Props together
• Installing, configuring and using the Vue Router plugin.
• Defining and using mix-ins
• Defining and using filters

Reactive Architectures: Implementation Strategies for Enterprise Applications Workshop

9:00 AM MDT

The end has come. REST is finally dead. The world of reactive data sources has killed it, and your users will be forever grateful. Gone from your applications are 'Refresh' buttons. Gone from your sever code are the polling routines, pinging remote services for changes. Customers dashboards update seamlessly and in real time. Your users have never been happier.

If this sounds like a world that you want to live in, join us for this awesome workshop exploring the various options available to the enterprise architect when designing and implementing the reactive software layers and constructs necessary to make this dream a reality today!

Users are demanding applications which keep them informed of new events as soon as they happen. They are no longer willing to accept “Just hit the refresh button” or “It will update in a few minutes by itself” when demanding satisfaction of this new basic requirement. They are collaborating in real time, co-editing, co-authoring, 'co-laborating' with colleagues across the country and around the world, chatting over the phone or VOIP while working together via your app. They want their updates to travel from their laptop to their co-workers screens as fast as their voice reaches them through the phone. This is a tough requirement to meet, especially when trying to put a modern face on a legacy app or integrating a shiny, new, reactive app with a legacy, REST-based datasource.

And it is not just your end-users that are clamoring for reactive data sources. No, the requirements for server-to-server communication of changes to data or state have forever changed. REST no longer is King in the world of web services. REST just doesn't cut the mustard any longer. Corporate users of your data services are demanding more flexible, reactive options when consuming your endpoints.

Join us for this thought provoking and exploratory workshop and learn the what, why and how of dealing with these new architectural challenges as we explore how you can architect your new or existing stack to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for 'real-time' applications and data services fed by reactive data sources regardless of your current technology choices.

"Alexa, Make Me Rich!": Smart speaker and BOT development workshop.

1:30 PM MDT

Engaging your users has never been more important than it is today. Competition for user attention is fierce and ruthless. There are new players on the field, however, that are changing the competitive landsacpe: Smart Speakers and Internet Robots BOTs provide channels to engage and interact with your users in amazing new ways that we never before thought possible. Join us for this deep dive into the technologies, architectural and design patterns you will need to be successful in this new space. This is a hands-on workshop in which we will develop, deploy and secure test a number of fully functional applications and experiment engaging with them using Alexa, Google Home, Facebook Messenger and other user engagement channels.

Amazon Echo, Google Home and Apple HomePod … The Home Smart Speaker revolution has begun! Join us for an exciting workshop in which we will develop skills that can be used on each of these platforms!Learn how to design, author and publish BOT-style applications for use with chat clients, Amazon Echo, Google Home and other BOT-ready platforms. Learn why these technologies represent the future of how users will interact with merchants and services on the web. Don't be left behind! Get a head start on the next wave and add this amazing set of skills to your resume with this comprehensive, fun and exciting workshop!

In the 60s and 70s, we used heavy iron, client server applications running on mainframes, accessed through terminals. In the mid-80s, we switched to heavy-weight applications which you purchased and installed on your PC. Next, in the mid-90s, we collectively bought-in to web-based applications. The turn of the century brought us into the world of mobile apps running on hand-held devices in the mid 00s. A decade later, we are due for the next evolution in delivering knowledge and services to our end users. Enter the BOT!

Join me in this workshop as we explore this new and exciting world of internet robots (or BOTs, for short). We will cover the history of this new kid on the tech block, the tools available to assist you in building and deploying BOTs and we will design, build and deploy a number of BOTs and have them interact with you live via the Facebook messenger app, Amazon Alexa and Google Home devices.

Don't wait. Future-proof your skill set today and learn how to attract, engage, retain and amaze your users!
