Presentation - JavaScript - The Universal Platform?

October 08, 2016 | 1 Minute Read

Last month I was invited to give a talk at the annual developer day of Swiss Railways (SBB).

The SBB Developer Day is a full day conference that SBB organizes for their Development staff. The day is organized in several parallel tracks.

This is the presentation from my session at the SBB Developer Day: JavaScript - The Universal Platform?

JavaScript - The Universal Platform? from Jonas Bandi

The presentation showed an experiment I did: What can I achieve by using JavaScript exclusively.

I implemented three versions of the same application:

  • The web version of the application was using React
  • The native mobile application is using React Native
  • The desktop application is using Electron

The experiment shows how it is possible to achieve knowhow-reuse and code-reuse by using the JavaScript ecosystem.

The code examples are available on GitHub.
