The future of user interaction: Mixed reality, AI and IoT
Abstract
The ability to capture and share data and learn from it has changed what we are able to do with technology drastically. Although our lives are changed with the new wealth of data, the way we interact with data has changed very little. Just like people a century ago, we are trying to make sense of everything through their 2D abstractions, whether it is writing, illustrations or excel sheets. Today we have the technology to interact with any data in the right context and right space. We can make sense of really complex problems by modeling them in 3d. Our way of consuming information is changing to fit the information itself and becoming more intuitive and actionable. Join us to get a glimpse into the future of user interaction.

Protecting your npm dependencies
Abstract
As technology advances and the applications we build become more complex, the tools that we use to secure the data shared within these products need to follow suit. We need to ensure that we deliver a high standard of protection to users, allowing them them to seamlessly use the product without thinking about security or any potential threat. Even just a thought of any risk could lose us our customers’ trust and therefore millions in investment and in turn threaten our entire business as a whole (including our jobs). A security breach is a very real problem, both personally as an individual and professionally in a business sense. But we as developers can help fix this problem. In very recent years there has been a number of incidents involving npm dependencies pushing vulnerabilities to consumers or exposing data. This led to the npm team purchasing a security tool to prevent future incidents. These incidents can easily be stopped and further prevented from happening again. NPM is the first main carrier of personal information and it therefore should be where we start to repair these issues. In this talk we will look back on the previous incidents and do a postmortem investigation on what happened, and how it could have been prevented. We will then take a further look into tools and products that can help protect our applications going forward and some basic best security practices that we all should follow, no matter our application.

JS codeshift, automated refactoring

The evolution of Ember.js at Intercom
Abstract
Intercom took an early bet on Ember.js 5 years ago and we've seen great success with its help. I'll talk about: How Ember's technology has changed over the past 5 years (eg. GlimmerVM, Ember Octane). How we've grown from 3 to 200+ engineers contributing to our Ember app. How our Ember app codebase continues to get better over time. Why we would choose Ember again if we could go back to the beginning of Intercom's web app (and why we chose React for our Messenger). Why I'm confident that Intercom's web app will be the same ember app in 5 years time.
Bio

How to write a bundler
Abstract
One day I found myself wanting Hot Module Replacement for Rollup, and decided that the best way to achieve that goal, was to write a development bundler from the ground up that supported the feature. In this talk, I'll share what I've learned and cover the fundamental concepts of what goes behind a simple bundler - Parsing, Transforming, HMR, and discuss various issues that can come up such as ESM live-binding and CommonJS interop.

Two years developing with Vue. Distilled
Abstract
I have helped helped my company moving away from knockout.js and adopting Vue.js as their preferred frontend framework. We create dozens of web applications every year, for which I have provided guidance and tooling (including our own CLI tool and templates) while personally leading some of these. The talk will summarize the most important lessons we have learned (often the hard way), the patterns we have adopted and the decisions we made around tooling/libraries. There should be something for everyone, whether you are completely new to Vue.js or whether you already have some experience with it!

Accessibility-flavored React Components: Make Your Design System Delicious!
Accessibility-flavored React Components: Make Your Design System Delicious!
Abstract
Design systems are a popular way for teams to flavor their design and development workflow. However, an often-missing ingredient in many design systems is a focus on accessibility best practices — especially when component libraries are involved. In this talk, we’ll take a look at how you can mix some commonly-used React components with the ingredients of accessibility. Pair this with best practices guidance in your documentation, and you’ll have the recipe for a delectably inclusive design system.

A State Of WebAssembly: The Browser is now a real VM
Abstract
WebAssembly is a new virtual machine embedded in the browser. It doesn't transpile to JavaScript like its forerunners; it produces a new binary format, like the old assembler, executed in a dedicated VM into your browser. Genius, it exposes a bridge between JS APIs and WebAssembly executables. Last browsers engines developments allow very fast exchanges between JS and WASM code. So, let's start with a projet that need a huge computing time. We will develop the core code in Rust, compile it to WASM using LLVM, and we will display the results in a front view powered via JavaScript. No need to know how does it work, we will see it together. This talk takes place in a new series named #StartFromNowhere: let's start from front-end developers skills, and deep dive into a new technology. In 45', let's learn the basics.

From REST to GraphQL: Wrapping Existing APIs in a Single Endpoint
From REST to GraphQL: Wrapping Existing APIs in a Single Endpoint
Abstract
Your frontend developers are pushing to get started with GraphQL, but you don’t have the backend capacity to migrate your existing REST APIs to GraphQL? Or you want to have a GraphQL API next to your existing endpoints that are based on REST? In this talk I’ll show how to create a Node.js/Express server that wraps existing REST APIs into one single GraphQL endpoint.

Quick and easy way to add AI to your CV
Abstract
This is a talk about Tensorflow.js and mental health. It shows a couple of real-world scenarios where a small amount of basic machine learning can deliver huge value. It tries to cut through the hype and the mystery and present AI as just another tool in the developer toolbox. A tool which can be learned relatively easily. And leveraged effectively almost from the start. In the second half, the talk segues into a reflection on the struggles of learning new technologies and the anxiety and fears of becoming irrelevant in the future job market. Is the constant need to up-skill and re-invent ourselves the price we pay for the premium salaries we get? And is our quest to add more acronyms to our CVs make us lose sight the bigger picture?
