Who is Jason Keays? How to talk about technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

“Who is Jason Keays and why do I never see him?” This question was asked in a meeting where we referenced a lot of keys in JSON files on the project. When you have to work with people with no technical background, it can bring some challenges along the way. Things that are familiar to you could be gibberish for others. Using a real-world example, this talk gives you an insight into how you could descend to the non-technical world and cooperate without having to write a dictionary for every stakeholder.

JSON Schema Validation; A dating show between backend and frontend.

JSON schema validation is a way to describe the structure and types of your data. This allows you to validate what you receive. You can generate TypeScript code from your schemas, create validation scripts, and benefit from extensive error reporting and bug logging. By integrating JSON schema validation into your pipeline and workflow, you can enhance data accuracy and streamline troubleshooting.

Using a live interactive dating show, Jorrik outlines the potential of JSON schema validation and how it helps your team ensure consistent data in your frontend. As the audience, you will have the opportunity to influence the outcome of the dating show. Meanwhile, some helpful functions are demonstrated that will aid you to speed up data processing in your frontend codebase, as it did for Jorrik.

This talk is suitable for anyone who needs to work with data and complex structures. You will gain an understanding of how to prevent runtime errors and invalid values from occurring. Join this talk for an engaging and practical insight into reliability and data validation.

preferred duration: 20-45 minutes.

A Large Language Model took me on vacation

Imagine handing over your vacation planning to an AI. Sounds crazy, right? That's exactly what Jorrik did for his trip to Porto in Portugal. ChatGPT picked everything from restaurants to the sightseeing spots. But this trip taught Jorrik more than just how to order pastel de nata in Portuguese.

In this talk, you'll dive into different parallels between prompting engineering AI for travel tips and using it for coding and problem-solving. You'll learn why context is king in AI interactions and ways to provide it effectively. Jorrik will walk you through real examples from my AI-planned adventure, showing how each interaction unlocked new insights into advanced prompting techniques. Plus, he will introduce you to "Indirect Conversation," a new method he describes as "pushing AI's creative boundaries"."

Integrating AI in the front-end is now everywhere to be found. And creating web applications, prompt engineering is set to become a crucial skill in our developers toolkit. The techniques you'll learn aren't just for planning vacations. They're the building blocks for creating smarter, more intuitive AI-powered interfaces. Whether you're designing chatbots, implementing AI-assisted search, or build the next-gen AI-driven web app, mastering these prompting skills will give you a significant benefit in creating a seamless user experience.

By the end of this session, you'll walk away with practical skills to supercharge your AI interactions, whether you're planning your next vacation or tackling complex coding challenges. You'll gain a fresh perspective on AI's capabilities and limitations, and you'll be equipped with strategies to get more innovative, useful responses from AI tools. Get ready for a session that's a bit of fun, part travelogue, mainly tech talk, and entirely eye-opening!

This presentation is packed with useful content, aimed at helping the audience improve their skills in working with AI. Jorrik brings his experience as a Frontend Engineer and an enthusiastic AI user to the table, combining technical knowledge with a practical approach. The goal is to make the audience see the potential in their AI tools and inspire them to explore new ways of interacting with technology.

Ctrl+Alt+VR: Create VR-First Websites for the 2D Web

Imagine a world where your favorite websites float in mid-air, responding to your gaze and hand gestures. No, this isn't science fiction – it's the future of web browsing in virtual reality. But here's the plot twist: these websites aren't 3D models or immersive environments. They're the same 2D websites we use every day, reimagined for a VR-first world.

In this eye-opening talk, Jorrik challenges the notion that VR web development means creating complex 3D spaces. Instead, they explore how traditional websites need to evolve to meet the unique demands of VR browsing. From rethinking navigation without keyboards to optimizing layouts for eye-tracking, this session dives deep into the principles of VR-first web design and development.

Attendees will gain practical insights into creating VR-friendly websites, backed by Jorrik's hands-on experience with the Apple Vision Pro. They'll learn how to build a compelling business case for VR-first development, ensuring their skills remain cutting-edge in this rapidly evolving landscape. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to elevate your web projects into the VR realm – no 3D modeling required.

This talk explores adapting 2D websites for VR browsing, covering practical design principles and development techniques. Using an Apple Vision Pro I will share a demo, offering insights into next-gen web experiences. The session will be interactive, with audience participation and live VR website examples. It's relevant for developers of all levels, bridging current web practices with future VR trends.
