Airbnb Tech Talks | SoMa
Join the engineering nerds at Airbnb for bi-weekly tech talks and light bites at their office at 888 Brannan in SoMa.
They host interesting speakers on the cutting edge of new front- and back-end technologies, security experts, talks by their own team about work they’re doing to be open source, increase performance, and more. Check out their past talks to get a taste of what to expect.
Avital Oliver has researched finite group theory, built tactical systems for the Israeli Air Force, founded a school of mathematics for all, and worked at Asana before joining Meteor, where he now works as a core developer. In the talk, Oliver will show some small apps and dig into Meteor UI internals to explain how they work.
Free, but an RSVP is required.
Meteor’s new rendering model: Don’t replace a template, just its parts. Meteor UI is an ongoing project to build all the necessary pieces for a full-fledged client-side reactive component system for Meteor. Some features include two-way data binding, view models and animation support. Avital Oliver will dig in to the first batch of this work — a rehaul of Meteor’s template rendering engine. In the new model, templates are compiled into reactive Meteor code that updates only the relevant parts of the DOM. This is faster, easier to use and interoperates with direct DOM manipulation and jQuery plugins.
Complimentary dinner, prepared by Airbnb’s Executive Chef, is served at 6 pm.
