This talk highlights the different types of state occurring in modern React applications and give recommendations on how to approach them.

In the past few years, the approach to application state in React has been constantly shifting. Local component state has been complemented with global state management solutions like ‘react-redux’ or ‘mobx-react’. The introduction of GraphQL libraries like Apollo brought new approaches to API caching (at least for GraphQL). With the release of React 16.3, the reworked Context API has been finally declared stable, adding a viable option for small and simple global states.

As a part of the forthcoming React 16.7, hooks will allow for easier use of local state as well as context in function components. Existing libraries are already discussing new hook-compatible APIs that will change the way we are using them. Furthermore, the upcoming ‘suspense’ mechanism is bound to spawn the birth of at least a few new libraries with focus on “perceived local” data fetching and caching.

Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” solution when evaluating these approaches. This talk will highlight the different types of state occurring in modern React applications and give recommendations on how to approach them with the tools currently available, with an outlook on the near future.

Learn how to integrate Vue.js into a legacy codebase.

One might think that working for brownfield projects might not be as much fun as starting something from scratch. But is this really true? 

In this session we’ll learn how to integrate Vue.js into a legacy codebase. In the end, it is possible to migrate to it completely step by step, regardless if it is a whole website, a component library or a frontend microservice.

From Legacy to Vue.js

A deep dive into the event loop, how it works, what its different phases are, and how it enables non-blocking IO.

Node.js is a very popular server-side framework that is slowly becoming the main platform for developing server-side applications. A lot of phrases are mentioned when developers talk about Node.js, such as ‘Single process with event loop’, ‘Non blocking IO’ , ‘generational garbage collector’, and more. But what do those phrases mean? Is Node.js really single threaded? How do the event loop and other internal mechanisms of the platform really work?

In this talk, I will give an overview on some of the platform internals. We will do a deep dive into the event loop, how it works, what its different phases are, and how it enables non-blocking IO. And, of course, we will answer the repeating question – is the event loop single threaded? We will also talk about the JIT compiler and the v8 engine. The session will end with a look at the garbage collector mechanism, the different algorithms that exists in each garbage collector phase, and how we can monitor our software to start detecting memory leaks.

A Journey into Node.js Internals

Nuxt.js is an opinionated framework based on Vue.js that excels when it comes to running the same codebase both server-side and client-side. 

Nuxt.js is an opinionated framework based on Vue.js that excels when it comes to running the same codebase both server-side and client-side. 

In this talk, we will focus on how it encourages convention over configuration and what kind of projects it suits best. Also, we will power up our code from a rather static (but very fast-loading) website to a full-blown SPA directly in the browser.

Are you ready for a wild journey through modern day web-augmented reality?

Are you ready for a wild journey through modern day web-augmented reality? On this trip, we’ll tour through what X-Reality (the X stands for extended) has to offer developers. Our main stops include a planet called Three.js, where we’ll meet the 3D models that inhabit the real world. 

We’ll also take a quick look at its satellite, Mozilla’s A-Frame. And no trip would be complete without visiting Apple’s AR Quick Look. So take a seat, fasten your seat belt, and let’s go!

WebAR: the Augmented Reality for your Browser

Take a look at how and why you might want to use web components, followed by a deep dive into custom elements and shadow DOM.

Web components were first proposed all the way back in 2011. Since then, they’ve been kicked around without really getting much traction until recently. With the rise of components in frameworks, a new standard that is (almost) supported by all modern browsers, and support from (almost) all major frameworks, web components are suddenly looking a lot more appealing.

Let’s have a look at how and why you might want to use web components. In this session, we’ll look at how they compare with framework components and when you might want to use one or the other. We’ll take a deep dive into custom elements and shadow DOM, see how they work on their own, and how you can combine their powers to create new, better superpowers.

Web Components: It’s about Time

In this talk we’ll break down how to build an OAuth flow, then dissect an OAuth implementation done in a node.js CLI.

Ready for others to benefit from your integrations and code? You’ll probably need OAuth 2.0, but building your first OAuth flow is about as fun as stepping on Legos. In this talk we’ll break down how to build an OAuth flow, then dissect an OAuth implementation done in a node.js CLI; a challenging use case that will make OAuth 2.0 feel more approachable than ever before.

Understand the moral challenges that lie ahead for technologists, and how to create more thoughtful, ethical products for future generations.

Technology was never neutral; its social, political, and moral impacts have become painfully clear. But the stakes will only get higher as connected cameras will watch over the city, algorithms oversee society’s most critical decisions, and transport, jobs, and even war will become automated. The tech industry hasn’t yet earned the trust that these technologies demand.

Drawing on years of research for his new book “Future Ethics”, designer Cennydd Bowles will illuminate the moral challenges that lie ahead for technologists, and discuss how practitioners and companies can create more thoughtful, ethical products for future generations.

How much do you know about HTML’s semantics? A co-editor of the HTML spec will take you on a magical treasure hunt around HTML.

You know your Lookbehind Assertions, your fat arrows and asynchronous iteration. But if your code is assembling HTML to get delivered to a user’s browser, how much do you know about HTML’s semantics? Choosing the correct HTML element rather than vomiting a "div" or belching out a "span" can greatly enhance the end users’ experience, with no fragile extra code to write and maintain.

One of the co-editors of the HTML5.3 spec will take you on a magical treasure hunt around HTML, showing you marvelous gifts and hidden wonders that will also help future-proof your code, and turn you into a time-travelling Frontend Superhero, adored by millions*.

(* actual number not guaranteed. But your users will be happy.)

React and D3 are UI tools designed for goals that sometimes collide as they both take control of the DOM in different ways. How can we make them work together?

Taking over the world is not an easy challenge. It requires a good strategy and a powerful army. What better soldiers than a mass of obedient robots?

Taking over the world is not an easy challenge. It requires a good strategy and a powerful army. What better soldiers than a mass of obedient robots? You just need a way to issue them instruction via their BLE interface. But should you choose to build a web app or a native mobile app?

With Angular, you can do both; just add Web Bluetooth API to build a web app and NativeScript to build a native mobile app. Join this session to learn how it all works, to see how to get started, and to swear fealty to your new robot overlords.
