Session

88 MPH to the Past and Future of JavaScript

Calling all web developers! Are you ready to embark on a thrilling journey through time and code? Buckle up, because we're about to hit 88 miles per hour going back to the future of Web Development. Where We're Going, We Don't Need jQuery.

In this electrifying talk, Jorrik will take you on a wild ride through the space-time continuum of JavaScript and web development. Starting in the "1985" of web development, we'll explore the early days of JavaScript, when alert boxes were cutting-edge and table layouts were all the rage. Then, we'll zoom to the present day, marveling at the modern frameworks and tools that make our developer lives easier (or more complicated, depending on who you ask).

But hold onto your hover boards, because the real adventure begins when we crank up the flux capacitor and blast off to the future of web development! Jorrik will share insights on emerging technologies, predict future trends, and show you how to prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Throughout the talk, you'll draw parallels between the "Back to the Future" movie trilogy and the evolution of web technologies, making complex concepts both entertaining and memorable.

By the end of this temporal expedition, you'll have gained a deeper understanding of web development's past, present, and future. You'll be equipped with knowledge to make informed decisions about which technologies to invest your time in, and you'll have a new perspective on the cyclical nature of tech trends. Plus, you might just pick up some killer '80s fashion tips!

So, whether you're a seasoned developer or a newcomer to the field, don't miss this chance to see web development in a whole new light. Great Scott! This is gonna be heavy!

This talk takes attendees on a journey through web development's past, present, and future, framed by "Back to the Future" references. Jorrik will explore JavaScript's evolution and future predictions. Expect a costumed presenter, copyright-free themed visuals, and interactive elements. Suitable for all developer levels, the session offers both technical insights and entertaining parallels between web tech and the iconic film trilogy.
