React India Remote Edition 2021| JS Conference India
November was a flurry of events and a very exciting time for GeekyAnts with the hoard of happenings circling around all things React and JavaScript. After a break of almost two years caused by the pandemic, tech enthusiasts were happy to gear up for the prestigious React India along with the first Indian edition of the JS conference.
While we were not able to reconvene in Goa and enjoy the happenings first-hand, the organisers- Manjula Dube and Sahil Mhapsekar, in a conversation with Sanket Sahu, the CEO of GeekyAnts, came up with the next best idea to host this community-led event which was decided to be held in Bangalore for the first time. The international React India conference was held between 11th to 13th of November while the JS Conference India was held on the 15th of November and GeekyAnts was honoured to have been the studio partners for both the events.

This episode of the React India conference was filled with three exciting days of workshops and talks revolving around all things React. From building cryptocurrency trading apps to 360 degree GraphQL, improving web performance and migrating from REST to GraphQL, the first of the conference involved multiple workshops which were both informative and befitting both beginners and for those who are experienced. Both basic and advanced levels of training were offered by industry experts who addressed the latest happenings in React and GraphQL in these workshops.
The following two days consisted of a series of talks which addressed everything from the launch of React 18 and achieving better user experience to community-led movements with React and much much more which you can read more about here.
