Tired of juggling TypeScript, React, REST APIs, and countless dependencies just to build a web app? What if I told you there's a simpler way that doesn't sacrifice interactivity or type safety?
In this talk, I'll show you how to build full-stack web applications using nothing but Kotlin DSLs and HTMX. No templating engines that break when your data changes. No frontend frameworks to learn. No JSON serialization headaches. Just clean, type-safe Kotlin code that generates dynamic HTML and delivers SPA-like user experiences.
You'll see live examples of routing, real-time validation, smooth page transitions, and reusable components - all without writing a single line of JavaScript. By the end, you'll have a completely new perspective on web development that's both simpler and more powerful than the traditional approach.
Perfect for developers who want to build modern web apps without the modern complexity.
