James Macfie
I'm James Macfie, development manager at CRS software by day, CTO at Trouble Brewing by night (which is to say, I'm the only developer so I got to choose my job title). I've been a JavaScript developer for as long as I can remember, and trying to get people to write decent CSS for about half as long. But, really, the main thing I do is try and make software that people find value in.
Recently Google released Cloud Firestore which takes the Firebase real time database and adds a load of usability and functionality (read: OMFG this is so much better). Coupled with Cloud Functions you can do a lot without having to run any servers at all, but this requires a change in mindset about how your application's dataflows work. Come and get a high level overview of how you'd build apps in this environment and see me cringe as I use the terms NoSQL, serverless, and the cloud.
