About the conference: ReactFoo is a single-day React conference by HasGeek.
We’ll be annoucing the theme shortly
##Format
We are inviting proposals for:
Full-length 40 minute talks.
Crisp 15-minute talks.
Hands-on Workshop sessions, 3 and 6 hour duration.
##Selection process
Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel. Please make sure to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. This will help us understand your speaking experience and delivery style. Blurbs or blog posts covering the relevance of a particular problem statement and how it is tackled will help the Editorial Panel better judge your proposals. We might contact you to ask if you’d like to repost your content on the official conference blog.
We expect you to submit an outline of your proposed talk – either in the form of a mind map or a text document or draft slides within two weeks of submitting your proposal.
You can check back on this page for the status of your proposal. We will notify you if we either move your proposal to the next round or if we reject it. Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
A speaker is NOT confirmed a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry to the conference is free for selected speakers. As our budget is limited, we prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. HasGeek provides these limited grants where applicable: two international travel and accommodation grants, three domestic travel and accommodation grants. Grants are limited and made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer). Speaker travel grants will be given in order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and individuals for Asia and Africa first.
##Commitment to open source
HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.
##Important dates:
Deadline for submitting proposals: 23 August 2017
**Conference date: ** 14 September 2017

Building apps in react native that are extensible to any platform (IOS, Android, Windows Phone, Web, Desktop, Electron and even VR*)
Submitted May 28, 2017
Section:
Workshop
Technical level:
Intermediate
The Workshop focuses on how to build native iOS and android app using React Native such that it can easily be extended to any platform such as Windows Phone, Web, Desktop, Electron and even VR*.
In short, the workshop will focus on how to write/structure your React Native apps such that they share 80% of the source code (all the Business logic) across all platforms and only rewrite the view or layout layer (rest 20%) differently for different platforms. We will do live setup of a single platform (iOS) React Native app and we will be adding each platform step by step extending out app to multiple platforms. The talk will introduce code conventions and tools that can accelerate development with React Native.
Thus allowing teams to:
- Launch across multiple platforms faster by reducing the development time exponentially.
- Extend to any new platform (mixed reality .. who knows?) that arrives in future.
- Do minimal code duplication.
- Reduce cost by having a single team managing all the platforms.
- Faster bug fixes due to shared business logic code.
The knowledge is based on the experience of working with React Native apps for around 1.5 years and helping clients launch their apps quicker than ever before.
This talk is for: developers who have worked with React and are looking into jumping/ already working with React Native.
This talk will help:
- React developers who are planning to start with react-native applications.
- react-native developers extend their codebase to support other platforms by just following some code conventions.
Outline
Speakers : Atul R and Rahul Gaba
The workshop will consist of 4 interactive sessions lasting about 4 hrs. There will be break of 5 to 10 minutes after each session.
This is the tentative list of session topics that we have come up with.
Session 1 - What is react native ? (55 min)
Intro to React Native and how is it different from React + Cordova/Ionic (10 mins)
Build your first hello world app in react-native. (10min)
Intro to the development environment of RN (packager, debugging, and scripts setup) (15min)
Understanding how to structure the code to write platform specific code. (10min)
Debugging RN apps (10mins)
Session 2 - Implementing functionalities in RN (55min)
Testing - What is Jest and how it makes testing easier (10min)
Redux for easier state management (15min)
Async store - Storing data for offline usage (10min)
SVG Icon support - How to add vector icons support to React Native ? (10min)
Navigation - How to setup multipage navigation in react native (10min)
Session 3 - DevOps + Custom Native components (70 min)
Setting build scripts for ios and android. (20min)
Setting up automated build and deployment using CI (CircleCI or Travis). (20 min)
Setting up Testfairy for deployment. (15min)
Building a simple custom native module for react native.(15min)
Session 4 - Conventions and best practices (55 min)
Components vs page pattern for React Native (10min)
Styling conventions - Writing maintainable style code for RN Apps (5min)
Eslint setup - Keep the code clean with automatic static code check (10min)
Adding web support for existing RN project (30min)
We will be preparing a gitbook document that we will use for the talk. We will distribute this document to the participants for their reference.
We will also have a git repository with topic/section wise branches to be in sync with the participants before each session.
Requirements
Can we have two speakers take the session. The workshop material is a mix of knowledge acquired during multiple client engagements by two different speakers Atul(myself) and Rahul Gaba(my friend and colleague). We are also open to do a more hands on workshop instead of talk if needed.
The audience just need to bring their laptops with a JS IDE ( preferably Atom ;) ) and react native installed if they want to try hands on along with the speaker.
