Melbourne Video Technology Meetup is Here!

We are pleased to announce that StreamShark is co-organising the Melbourne Video Technology Meetup with peers in industry.

Modelled on the SF Video Technology and Sydney Video Technology meetups, the Melbourne Video Technology meetup is for anyone interested in the underlying technology behind video and video publishing: streaming, transcoding, codecs, advertising, playback, open standards, mobile, connected tv and more. The meetup will focus on the engineering side and not the creative side, but creatives are welcome.

Over the years, these meetups have been instrumental in furthering the development of video technology and been an important platform for knowledge exchange, planting ideas and forming innovative collaborations to advance the video industry forward. We look forward to fostering engaging discussions between the Video community in Melbourne and building a supportive environment for learning.

The first inaugural Melbourne Video Technology Meetup (link) will be held on Wednesday, October 30, 2019 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The line up of talks for the evening are given below.

React loves VideoJS: A new JSX syntax for VideoJS

React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. JSX is a syntax extension to JavaScript that describes what a React UI should look like. In this talk, learn how to replace vanilla javascript syntax with JSX syntax for VideoJS components; allowing for a true React based approach to customising your video player, making your player code more readable, and your player more adaptable and dynamic.

Jack Kaloger, Full Stack Developer at StreamShark will show you the way.
