How can you create performant animations, backed by fast-updating data, on the web, using React? Attendees of this talk will learn how to make silky-smooth data-powered animations without having to give up the convenience of React. (Mostly…)

React is great for manipulating the DOM, but all that shadow DOM logic can bog down data-powered animations and slow down sites. How can you keep the ease of React while rendering lightning-fast, silky-smooth animations? There’s a trick to it (and, spoiler alert, some of it’s not React). In this talk, learn about:

how to get data from the backend to your frontend mega-fast
why requestAnimationFrame beats setInterval hands down
the power of HTML Canvas for web-based animation

Come see how fast React can be!
