Brian Childress — Simplicity: The Key to Software Success — Room 126
In a world dominated by cutting-edge technologies and complex systems, it is easy to overlook the power of simplicity in software. Let’s explore the benefits of simple software with real-world examples to uncover how simplicity can be a game-changer for developers, businesses, and end-users alike.
10:30 AM
Jessica Kerr — Observability for the Front End — Room 126
Back end developers are lucky. They benefit from recent advances in observability: tasty distributed traces with OpenTelemetry, the modern open-source standard. What does OpenTelemetry have for the front end? Some magic, and some opportunities.
Chris Lorenzo — SolidJS: The Universal Renderer — Room 125
SolidJS is the fastest frontend framework available with a programming style similar to React. Signals, JSX, Reactivity and Server side rendering - Solid has it all – including a Universal Renderer. Get an intro to Solid and how learn how I used Solid as a render for LightningJS (a webgl renderer).
11:15 AM
Jen Ozmen and Aaron Shim — Trusted Types: DOM XSS Protection at Scale — Room 126
DOM XSS is the most critical threat to frontend web security and Trusted Types is the only solution that has worked at scale to prevent these attacks. We will discuss how this browser-based security mitigation protects billions of our users and makes the entire JS ecosystem safer.
Tim Simms — Spinning up Node.js in the Browser — Room 125
We’ve come a long way since the ’90s workflow of FTPing files up to a dev server. But with the complexity of modern dev environments, it’s increasingly hard to collaborate on code. We’ll introduce web containers as a mind-bending approach to running entire dev stack entirely within the browser.
1:15 PM
Jacob Yacovelli and Laura King — Simpler Enterprise Angular Components with Smart Directives — Room 126
Are your smart components overburdened by observable logic? Do you have to manually control change detection in your Angular components? Would you like to separate out observable logic by shareable functionality? Then smart directives might be the solution for you!
M. Scott Ford — Lessons Learned Migrating from Jekyll to Next.js with Help from Playwright — Room 125
There are a lot of sites out there that were built with Jekyll, and those folks may be looking at newer frameworks like Next.js and curious about how to make the switch. Learn the tips and techniques for making the switch, including using Playwright for visual regression testing.
2:00 PM
Michael Schoonmaker — We're Snaking it Live! — Room 126
Your 5th grade math teacher was wrong: playing Snake CAN be good for you!
Multiplayer Snake—Battlesnake—is an accessible crucible to flex our JavaScript muscles against a welcoming community of bots written in C++, Rust and even Bash.
And we’ll have fun doing it, together, LIVE.
Dillon Mulroy — Melange: The Next Frontier in Type-Safe Web Development — Room 125
Join me as I dive into Melange, a hopeful game-changer in type-safe web development and spiritual successor to BuckleScript/ReasonML. My talk will shed light on how it adeptly combines OCaml’s robust and iron-clad type system with near seamless JavaScript interoperability.
3:10 PM
Jim Becker — EASILY level up your website using the ChatGPT API and NextJS — Room 126
In this talk, we’ll show how to integrate your web app with the ChatGPT API. We’ll show examples of how to provide easy insights and analytics for your users with almost no effort.
We’ll create a chatgpt account, go over pricing, and go over examples of different API prompts you can use with various pieces of data to provide users with awesome analytics and almost no code. Leveling the app up for free!
Nathan E. Lilly — Hand-coded Artisanal Data-Visualization — Room 125
You might not need d3. Understanding how to write SVGs by hand has a number of benefits, performance, optimization, and (when you really understand what the code is doing) the ability to use JavaScript to create, update, and interact with SVGs.
3:50 PM
Shri Khalpada — Where Numbers Meet Art: Building Data Visualizations In The Modern Web — Room 126
As web developers, many of us have worked with charts before. How can we take them to the next level?
Join Shri Khalpada, co-founder of PerThirtySix and a full-stack veteran working deeply in data, as he shares practical advice on how we can go from something generic to something captivating!
Alec Barrett — Build your own devtools — Room 125
A great thing about being a software engineer is that you can build your own tools. But how do you know if it’s worth taking the time to build one? And how do you scale this across multiple engineers and teams? Learn how we’re promoting a devtools culture among frontend engineers at Datadog!
