This talk will explore strategies for fixing performance issues in your apps when they arise. We will look at how we can make our React apps “Blazing” fast, and when it’s time to bail out of React in the name of perf.

This talk will examine how React changed the front end landscape as we know it. We'll start by recounting the pre-React landscape, including prior art. Next, we'll venture into the introduction of React, and its reception and growth.

But most importantly, we will take a look at the core idea of React, and why it transcends language or rendering target and posit on what that means going forward, including what React might look like years from now.

How React changed everything

This talk will focus on the creative exploitation of React component architecture to render not only to DOM elements, but other targets as well, at the same time. 

We will explore techniques you can use to achieve this, common pitfalls, useful applications of these patterns and not so useful, but wildly entertaining applications of these patterns.
