See how we are able to bring type-soundness, autocompletion, and powerful developer tooling to our internal workflows using hooks and TypeScript.

As a startup that integrates with larger, often older enterprises, we have to integrate with a number of RESTful services (against our will). This technical talk will outline how we are able to bring type-soundness, autocompletion, and powerful developer tooling to our internal workflows using hooks and TypeScript.

Powerful REST in a GraphQL world

Working with contractually-sound REST APIs in a React application using powerful new tooling.

GraphQL is an incredible technology. It provides developers with concrete, solid guarantees at the API layer, preventing surprises when interacting with client-server applications. 

REST has been often criticized as weaker in this regard, since it is not a formal specification. 

This talk explores working with similar (if not better) contractually-sound REST APIs in a React application using powerful new tooling.

Strong RESTful Contracts in a GraphQL world

A compelling, real-world, case study of how TypeScript and GraphQL helped overcome issues with legacy code, iterate faster, and provide more value to users.

Using hooks and codegen

The Serverless paradigm is one that is slowly taking over the internet. This talk dives deep into Serverless, particularly Serverless Lambda Functions, and their benefits and drawbacks to web applications.

We will also discuss how they can benefit business, being extremely cheap to implement and maintain. As a practical, technical case study, we will examine serverless performance across a number of popular front-end UI frameworks and measure various metrics relevant to a serverless application.

This talk explores creating living documentation for design systems, ensuring consistent documentation at all times using TypeScript.

This session explores creating living documentation for design systems, ensuring consistent documentation at all times using TypeScript.

We will read Markdown files, render components described in them, and expose live type-safe code playgrounds powered by the Monaco Editor. We will, together, explore:

* Static Type Analysis and its value
* The Monaco text editor that powers VS Code
* Connecting it all together with React

A Quick Recap on WebAssembly

The talk aims to shed some light on two things: a) React DOM's stream renderer that allows React components to be rendered to streams on the server and piped to a browser's response, and b) Browsers' added support for streams that harness their streaming HTML parsers. 

The way these technologies combine allow the creation of performant, powerful web applications with impressive time-to-interactive metrics.
