Learning a New Language: Hands-free Coding with Caster or Talon
Ever been paralyzed by fear, about what would happen with an injury that left you unable to type for an extended time? Join me in a deep dive of hands-free coding techniques, including Caster and Talon.

A Newcomer's Introduction to Dynamics 365, Dataverse, and Microsoft Power Platform
Most developers in any way adjacent to Microsoft products have seen parts of Power Platform, or heard of Dynamics 365 or Dataverse, but the reuse of terminology and renaming of different components means many developers aren't aware of the breadth of ability and use cases with these products. From someone who took a job in a Dynamics 365 consulting firm without experience in these products, this is the crash course I wish I had received, to understand which pieces are designed for which purposes, and what kind of real use cases apply to different pieces of this ecosystem. This touches on the entirety of Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Dataverse.

Developer Tools in Chrome for Modern Web Development
With so many developers launching into deep Javascript Front End Frameworks like React or Angular from a background of IDE development, many developers are not fully leveraging browser tooling to debug and understand everything in their code. This fully-demo presentation will include a deep look at all the built in tools in Chrome, current to date of the presentation, as well as some of the more important and popular browser extensions for front end development, and popular IDE connection.
Soft Skills: The most important skills your team needs
Companies seem to increasingly hide behind "culture". Company culture is really a way of saying which soft skills are valued. However, the most successful teams need certain soft skills - and those skills are even more important than the technical skills. These skills are frequently what defines your company culture, but can get lost with growth or team reorganization. Building these skills builds a stronger team, which delivers back to a stronger culture and company.
Taking React Full Circle: Porting to React Native and Electron
One of the beauties of React is that React Native is so similar, and builds such beautiful mobile apps -- one one of the beauties of modern desktop development is Electron apps. In this presentation we will demo a simple image editing web app and port it to both React Native and Electron in order to run the same app on desktop and on mobile, outside of the browser.
CSS in a component-based world
React has caught a lot of criticism for the full mixing of HTML and JS, but it is a large portion of the rising tide of the JS landscape today - and many more websites are componentizing all the parts of the front end. Why are we leaving our CSS behind in giant stylesheets? CSS deserves the improved scope and modular building that we incorporate into today's HTML and JS. The goal of this talk is to approach the pros and cons of several different styles of handling CSS in a modular way, and reveal myths about performance that hold many back. While focused on React examples, the core takeaways about modular CSS are not dependent on React, and apply to most component-based UI.
