iO are excited to announce our first JS Virtual Meetup! Taking place on Thursday 21st January at 7pm, this meetup is a new community with the aim of bringing together JavaScript professionals nationwide through insightful and interesting talks.

This first session will be featuring Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, FullStack JS Developer and Lead Consultant at Virtusa, who will be presenting a talk on 'React State(less) Functional Components Migration'.

When React 16.8 update was released, a new feature called hooks was added to function components. Now with this feature, you can leave Class Components for the performance of Functional Components with Hooks support. Here we will be discussing about how we can convert Class Components into Functional Components with the same functionality but with more efficiency.

About The Speaker
People call me Praveen or PravMan. I am an ailurophile, vegetarian, and an experimental chef. Well, I would like to experiment as much as I can, on food and my life. My body is made up of HTML & CSS, which is literally me! This defines me as a Full Stack Web Developer (Front End, Back End, Middleware, Whatever...).
Oh yeah, I am a highly motivated, passionate hard-core web developer with diverse experience in developing web applications, hybrid mobile apps, and cloud computing solutions ranging from working on cute layouts, payment gateways etcetera and the list goes on till making a clone, better than Facebook. Yup, you heard it right. I did make a clone of our favourite social network from scratch.
Once upon a time, I was consistently ranked as top 0.01% developers in Stack Overflow. I stopped contributing much after achieving 100k reputation points. I am also a Pluralsight Mentor, Thinkful Mentor and a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in the field of Visual Studio & Development Tools.
