Join Salmon (a Wunderman Commerce company), a leading global digital agency, as they host their very first Front End meet-up in London
If you are interested in anything Front End related please join us for an evening of food, drinks and tech talk, you might even learn something new along the way.
We will have speakers from the FED community along with our very own team discussing a variety of topics. There will also be a small 'Dev Battle' (fun coding mini-game)Â for those keen to get messy!
After the presentations we will mingle and head to the local pub!

Data Visualisation in Vue.js
Vue.js is the latest big front-end framework. It's blazingly fast, easy to learn, and a valuable tool to have in your arsenal. Did you know you can work with SVGs directly in your Vue.js templates? This talk will explain the basics of Vue, explore some of the things you can do with SVGs, and show you how you can visualise some simple data without using a library like d3 or Highcharts.
A Very eComm Problem
With online sales growing at breakneck speed, companies have to keep up with the tech to be able to outpace their competition. Changing your front end stack in one fell swoop just won’t deliver the value the business needs in time and will put an immense pressure to deliver on your team. This talk will explore ways you can migrate your front end stack while avoiding common pitfalls of the latest front end libraries and delivering the features the business needs in time.
