This workshop will focus on React and Angular. Which one is your favourite: ReactJS or Angular? In this HackJam you are challenged to choose one of these weapons and...code!

Both ReactJS & Angular developers will get the same requirements for a reactive application. Which group will build their application faster?

Are you a Angular developer who wants to learn how to use ReactJS, or the other way around? Trust us, you can learn from each other, and that is exactly what you will do on this evening. We will give you a buggy application that you will have to fix before adding new features to it using either Angular or React. How fast will you go? Will you share your findings with other developers?

You are welcome to test this during our HackJam. We have built the same application with ReactJS and Angular. We invite you to spend the evening learning how to build such an app yourself with the help of our mentors.

This is not a battle between Angular and React developers but a way to work together on the same issues, learn from each other and improve our workflow. Join our event even if you are not using any of these tools. You will still learn a lot regardless of your background.

By the end of the evening, you should be able to answer these questions:

• How to use React and write your own components?
• How to use Angular and your own components
• Manage the state of your application in React/ Angular
• Use the right lifecycle hooks for the right job
• What are the main differences between Angular and React?

The start of the evening is at 18h30, end will be around 21h30-22h00.

A big thanks to our friends from Backbase, who offer us a nice space to code, as well as great food & drinks to keep everyone going!
