React is awesome! We probably all here agree on that. You have heard of all types of driven development but react emerged a new type, styleguide driven development became a reality with components. This type of development focuses on Developer/Designer collaboration and on assertive components. With the use of React, Styled Components and Snapshot testing we were able to almost remove style regressions. In this talk you get a glimpse of you can start styleguide driven development and how you can sell this dream to your project managers.
Apollo has given us freedom and happiness when it comes to managing our data coming from the server but we still had to write code and sometimes a lot of it to manage our local state? Well, what if we managed it with queries too? Sounds too awesome right? Let's learn how to do this with apollo-link-state
CSS is hard !I made a living out of it being hard but when React was introduced we had a whole new level of fighting over CSS. There are so many ways to approach it and so many tradeoffs one can do when choosing the better approach that a talk that will go over these options is more than necessary. Let's walk this road thogheter and I promise it will all be fine and you will leave with an ideia of type of styling is better for each project. Hint: There is no perfect way ....
We all love Vue here and we all know that GraphQL is amazing and I want to get everyone in this room excited about this combination! Let’s see how to use Apollo and GraphQL to make our projects more maintanble and way more fun to make. Vue is already pretty amazing, right ? How about we make it even more amazing with GraphQL ?
You have probably heard about GraphQL and probably heard people say it's amazing but never understood why you should learn yet another thing. In this talk we will go over just why everyone seems to love this new kid on the block, how to get started with it and debunk some myths about GraphQL. The objective is that you leave this talk as excited as me about GraphQL.
Frameworks are awesome, right? JSX and templates are the best thing since sliced bread! Problem is we stopped taking semantic into consideration and started the #divFest and not everything is a div or neither should it be. This has huge implications for both accessibility, SEO, and just code readability in general, it’s also something we can fix with just some tricks. In this talk I will focus in React and Vue but these ideas can be used in any framework you choose to use.
CSS in JS is a pretty controversial topic in the frontend community. Some people love it and swear by it and some just despise it.
One idea that prevails is that it was initially created because of React and that is not true, the first implementations were before react came out. The first spec was even before CSS came out.
I love CSS in JS and in this talk we will go through why it was created, the needs it fulfilled and also the how's of it's working in plain Javascript
We tend to see our jobs and our work as developers as the pursuit to help the world and build useful things for other people because that's what we are thought. When we learn something we make to-do lists, we make useful things. In this talk I am gonna try and show you the value of making dumb things, making useless things.
