Code Championship Minnedemo
This is the demo the Code Championship team and I gave at Minnedemo.
It's my favorite talk.
We introduce an audience of 500+ people to competitive computer coding. The audience was incredible and it couldn't have gone any better.
React and React Hooks
This is a talk I gave at React Minneapolis
I introduce ReactJS using React Hooks to about 200 people who laughed at my jokes!. Instead of converting class components to function components, we approach React as if class components don't exist to see if we can accomplish everything we would like.
Deploy It!
This is a talk I gave at JavaScriptMN.
Introduction to deploying applications. I deploy several frontend and backend applications in the course of an hour with Heroku, Firebase, and Netlify.
What is React Really? - An Introduction to React
This is a talk I gave at React Minneapolis.
Introduction to React with class components by creating a web application with a single input and list.
Firebase from Scratch
This is a talk I gave at DevFestMN.
An introduction to Firebase by building an application from scratch in 45 minutes (including authentication, realtime updating, and deployment).
