React has received exponential growth among its user base in the last couple years but the speed at which front-end development libraries change can be daunting.

At this meetup, join Ryan and Joel Lanciaux explain why React is a solid choice and how to get started without being overwhelmed. In addition to using React for the web, we will also look at React native and how once you learn React, you are ready to write native mobile applications (not a web view -- actually native).

Bring your laptop or be ready to pair-program with another TWP member as there will be some basic examples to go through.

Toledo Web Professionals present: Real-time Messaging to Webapps from a Production Database.

WebSockets are a fast and efficient way to push data from servers to browsers on both desktop computers and mobile devices. Well-known examples include stock tickers, chat rooms (e.g. Slack), social media updates, and online games. Learn how WebSockets are used at the Jeep Wrangler plant for messaging and notifications for critical production activities.

This talk will demonstrate Java servlets with CometD, front-end jQuery code, and webapps currently being used to support production of 250,000+ Jeep Wranglers per year. By attending this talk, you will gain a better understanding of the constraints of an automotive assembly line and real-time messaging.

Bio - David Johnson is a software developer at the Toledo South Assembly Plant, which produces the Jeep Wrangler. David splits his time between writing webapps, and automation. He uses Java, C#, C++, and Javascript. Ask him about barcodes!
