With WASI, the WebAssembly system interface, WebAssembly can be used outside the browser in a portable and safe way.

Earlier this year, we announced WASI, the WebAssembly system interface. With this system interface, WebAssembly can be used outside the browser in a portable and safe way.

As Solomon Hykes, co-founder of Docker, said, "If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn't have needed to create Docker. That's how important it is. Webassembly on the server is the future of computing."

But WASI will be useful for so many other use cases, too. In this talk, we'll explain how WASI works and explore how different use cases can benefit from it.

There’s a big push to improve React’s perceived performance. And WebAssembly is fast. Could WebAssembly be part of the solution? In this talk, code cartoonist Lin Clark will look at what WebAssembly could mean for React’s performance, and how the new Fiber architecture makes that even more of a possibility.

A cartoon guide to performance in React

I'm going to walk you through the wilds of data handling in react. I call it “the wilds” because when you first look at the landscape, it seems to be overflowing with an untamed profusion of different options. The boundaries between these options aren't clear, and it's hard to see why you'd want to pick any one in particular.

When you look closer, you'll see that it's actually easier to navigate than you might think. You just need a good guide.

A Cartoon Guide to the Wilds of Data Handling

Server-side JavaScript developers have been developing with small modules for years. Small modules have been more pain than their worth for many front-end developers, though. The tools for doing it well haven't been there.

But the tools are starting to change as the front-end is moving towards a componentized future. Frameworks like React are encouraging developers to create components that are compact and easy to reason about, as well as easy to share.

In this talk, we'll look at some of those tools, such as webpack and npm, to see how they help you work with small modules today and what's coming in the future.
