There will always be a new JavaScript framework to learn. Technology will continue to evolve and change, and developers will continue to rewrite applications. Wouldnt it be amazing if we could just copy paste 90% of our code from framework to framework?Well, you can. Reactive programming enables just this AND the ability to future proof your code.Not only ca…

What if your components' state was deterministic?Learn about implementation of State Machines to manage React Components' state - from the basics of the Automata theory to autogenerated tests.

Many teams have been discussing on whether to go the immutable or mutable state route. Flux or MVC or MVVM? Redux, MobX or Apollo? Instead of answering the question, in this talk we will look at JavaScript code on a more fundamental level How do data structures work in JavaScript. What assumptions can be we make if we treat them to be immutable? Or mutable? …

D3 and React, who should control the DOM? After all, React’s whole purpose is managing updates to the DOM so we don’t have to. D3, on the other hand, is a library for building data visualizations, and it too needs access to the DOM. And stepping back, when should we even use D3 and React together? In this talk, I will give guidelines on when React should hav…

Now that GraphQL takes care of managingdata in our apps, is an external state-management library even needed? Let's explore all the possibilities and compare the combinations of React, Apollo, Redux, MobX, and Next.js

As the popularity of GraphQL grows, many hard questions are being asked by companies adopting it as an API standard. What databases or search engines can I use it with? How do you aggregate data from multiple sources globally? Can GraphQL fetched data be available offline, and if clients mutate it how are conflicts resolved? Is there a secure way to control …

React v16.0 comes with some major changes and an update to the core algorithm. With React v16.0 Facebook has completely revised the internals of React while keeping the public API essentially the same.Learn about what’s new in React 16 which would include a brief explanation of the new algorithm along with focus on few of the new features like Error Boundari…

This talk will focus on the creative exploitation of React component architecture to render not only to DOM elements, but other targets as well, at the same time. We will explore techniques you can use to achieve this, common pitfalls, useful applications of these patterns and not so useful, but wildly entertaining applications of these patterns.

I will show you how to use React components approach while creating music with Ableton Live. This talk will inspire you to connect two independents worlds, Music and React.

As apps begin to scale, many developers find themselves asking the question - but where does all the hard stuff go? The complicated data manipulation, the validation, the process flow of our apps. In other words, the business logic. If React is designed for the view layer, and we’re using Redux or something similar for the state, then where does the business…

React is a component-based UI library that doesn’t provide any built-in components. Over the years companies and developers have invested a lot of time and money in development of UI components based on VanillaJS or various frameworks. Building components is time consuming, has integration and maintenance risks, and worst of all, distracts developers from th…

The story is about how we DDOS ourselves at Product Hunt for about an year because of the way we've built our SSR React server.

Stuck in a jungle of inaccessible code? This swiss army knife of tips and tools gives you what you need to slice through the challenges and make your apps inclusive for all users.

Well, my first conference talk didn't go exactly like planned

A harrowing tale of tragedy and misfortune how a year-long attempt to crowbar a React SPA front-end into a monolithic mobile platform serving many millions of users almost plunged over the precipice into failure. Prepare yourself for all the thrills, chills and linting errors anyone could ever hope for. Warning tale may rhyme.

Reprocessing is a new library for Reason, a rather new programming language building on the OCaml + JavaScript ecosystems. It’s a lean wrapper around OpenGL and WebGL and allows truly cross-platform games to be written rather easily.Reason is great for a whole lot of things, but let me take you through a story of trying to write a 2D physics engine in just u…
