Gen-AI on Localhost: Prompt, Fine-Tune and RAG&Roll

Let's see the exciting world of Gen-AI on your local machine. We will travel through the entire journey of setting up and optimizing generative AI models locally. We’ll start with prompt engineering, where you’ll learn how to craft prompts that elicit precise and relevant responses from your AI. Next, we’ll cover fine-tuning techniques to enhance the performance of your models, ensuring they deliver the best results for your specific needs. Finally, we’ll dive into Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), showing you how to combine document retrieval with AI generation for context-aware answers. Get ready to RAG&Roll!

Beyond Passwords: Exploring Passwordless Authentication for Improved Security

With the increasing number of web apps, we can see more and more data breaches. Passwords are the biggest attack vector and are responsible for more than 80% of breaches, and they also lead to attacks such as:
* Credential stuffing
* Corporate account takeover (CATO)
* Password Spraying
* Brute force attack.
Let’s take a look at password alternatives - Passwordless Authentications.
We'll talk about various options and will see live examples of implementations.
And, of course, we will go over the benefits of using PasswordLess.

Typescript Meta-Programming from 0 to 100 - workshop

When applications are getting bigger, some tools and features that help to manage this increasing complexity become more required. Let's check some of these features: composition/dependency Injection, runtime type assertions, reflection/mirroring and more, and see how we can use it in real live use cases.

Typescript Compiler API from 0 to 100

TypeScript has become very popular in the past few years. Many of us (developers) have a good understanding of the language, except not many of us know how the compiler works internally.
Understanding the internal mechanism of the TypeScript compiler and API will be extremely valuable if you need to improve the build pipeline or develop custom tools.
Or even generate your code instead of coding it.

Why Full Cycle is the Key to Success in Today's Fast-Paced Web Development Industry

In most articles Full Stack is described as “... an engineer who can handle all the work of databases, servers, systems engineering, and clients. …may be a mobile stack, a Web stack, or a native application stack.”
But is it enough in our time? When “time to market” is critical. When bug fixing on production can’t take longer than a couple of hours. And it doesn't matter if we are talking about a large company or a small startup, new reality more often requires developers to be a “Full Cycle”, - design, development, test, deploy, operate, and support.
Let's talk about the past, present and why ‘Full Cycle’ is a future of Web Development.

Micro-Frontend Architecture and Module Federation: Making the Right Choices for Your Project

The micro-frontend architecture is attracting more and more developers, and module federation is a great addition to this architectural pattern. And as with any new technology, new questions are raised.
Let's take real-life examples and live coding to answer the following but not limited to: how we should divide apps and whether there are specific criteria to separate them. Is my project suitable for the Micro-Frontend at all? When should I use Micro-Frontend and when Module Federation? And some other questions.

This talk is designed to provide practical, real-life examples and live coding demonstrations that will help attendees navigate the world of micro-frontends and module federation more confidently. The presentation will answer essential questions, such as when to use micro-frontend, when to use module federation, and how to determine if a project is suitable for these approaches.

Easy MicroFrontend Adoption: Using Schematics, Builders, and TypeScript Compiler API

MicroFrontends are getting more popular because they offer advantages over the usual large, single frontend applications, like better flexibility and the ability to work on parts of the app separately. But, this approach can make the whole system more complex to develop and manage. This complexity means we need a strong base that can be shared by different teams. In this session, we will discuss how tools like schematics, builders, and the TypeScript Compiler API can simplify building this base. We will learn how these tools can help bring MicroFrontend architecture into your current projects easily and efficiently, making your development process smoother.

This talk will explore how the use of schematics, builders, and the TypeScript Compiler API can simplify the adoption of MicroFrontends in a complex development environment, making it faster and easier to create a foundation for multiple teams to use.

MicroFrontends: The Future of Agile and Scalable Frontend Development

Dive into the world of MicroFrontends, a game-changer in agile and scalable frontend development. This talk explores how this approach breaks down complex applications into manageable segments, fostering enhanced team collaboration and making testing simpler. It emphasizes the adaptability of MicroFrontends in integrating diverse tools, thereby boosting efficiency and innovation in development processes. Discover how MicroFrontends not only improve development processes but also pave the way for more adaptive, scalable software solutions.

MicroFrontends, development teams can become more efficient and agile, enhancing scalability, improving testing, and diversifying technology choices. Given the high relevance and impact of these topics, this talk aims to contribute significantly to the knowledge base and practices within the developer community.

AI-Powered E2E UI Testing: Faster Creation, Easier Maintenance

This session will guide you through the advanced field of AI-Powered E2E UI Testing, focusing on how it speeds up test creation and simplifies test maintenance. We'll begin by examining the challenges in generating E2E tests with AI, noting how this differs from the simpler task of creating unit tests.
The discussion will then shift to a solution that addresses these challenges effectively. Prepare to see a live demonstration where we'll craft an E2E test using popular tools like Cypress or Playwright. To wrap up, we'll look into how AI comes close to fully automating the maintenance of our test suites, ensuring they stay up-to-date with minimal manual intervention.
