Simplify Micro Frontend Architecture Using React to Web Component
Do you want to see the simplest way to transform your already existing React application into a Micro Frontend architecture? Enter: React to Web Component, an open source library that makes this easy. In this talk, we’ll take a layout and a few pre-built React components, turn them into stand-alone Web Components, and drop them into a fully functioning Micro Frontend app including static and dynamic routes, data fetching, full SSG for SEO, and deploy it to GitHub Pages.
The power of Full Code with the effort of Low Code
Tired of worrying about setup and boilerplate? Start building the important features of your app right away with Hatchify: a new open source tool that uses a single schema file to rapidly build a CRUD app while maintaining the option to easily configure, expand, or replace any piece of the system as you need.
Learn how the data-first design of Hatchify helps teams easily move from a CRUD MVP all the way to a fully custom, bespoke application. In this session, I will demonstrate how to use Hatchify to quickly scaffold a spreadsheet into a fully featured app. Newer devs will walk away being able to create a Hatchify application, while advanced engineers will see how Hatchify can be the underpinning of even the most complex webapps.
Understanding the value of the tool will have minimal requirements. Beginner developers will be able to follow along with the demo.
Establishing a Culture of Feedback
Growth is only possible with Feedback. For most of us, positive feedback is easy. But “negative” feedback… How do we ensure all feedback is freely given? How do we equip our teams for the feedback they may receive? What are the common pitfalls to avoid when giving and receiving feedback, such as the “feeback sandwhich”? What changes can we make to encourage a Culture of Feedback? It’s a long process, but it's a rewarding one. Let’s talk about how to get started.
Feedback is a lot harder to give and receive than it should be. This talk is a deep dive into the importance of feedback and how to make it intrinsic to your team's culture. I'll cover what good feedback looks like, how to provide it, and when you shouldn't provide it. Then I'll cover receiving feedback, particularly when you don't like the message, and end with guidance and suggestions for implementing feedback as a intrinsic part of your team's culture.
Building your first React Native App
React Native, a framework for creating high-performance apps for iOS and Android using a single codebase, promises to be the easiest way to deploy a truly native mobile app. But does it deliver on that promise?
This intensive workshop offers developers a fast-paced introduction to building mobile applications using React Native. Participants will quickly set up their development environment, learn React Native fundamentals, and dive into core concepts such as components, navigation, data fetching, and state management. By the end of the session, participants will have a working app and a solid understanding of the essentials needed to start developing with React Native. This workshop is ideal for developers with basic React knowledge who are eager to efficiently learn the basics of mobile app development with React Native.
