      <description>Three ground-breaking shifts are occurring in the world of JavaScript: Package management, starter kits, and reusable components. These innovations are coalescing to fuel a revolution in the way we write JS. In this session, you&amp;rsquo;ll learn why you can no longer afford to build JavaScript in the old paradigm, and we&amp;rsquo;ll explore how you can make the shift to join the reusable revolution.</description>

      <description>Handling state through traditional DOM Manipulation is a costly process that has been a major source of complexity in user interface (UI) development. Virtual DOM offers a solution to this challenge, allowing a reference to the DOM so UI changes are made more conservatively. This concept is widely used in modern web frameworks and has changed the way web developers interact with the DOM. We will explore the basic underlying components of a virtual DOM, examine the intricacies of what makes it more performant, and cover strategies to optimize how we work with the DOM.</description>

      <description>Tiny computers such as the RaspberryPi, Arduino and C.H.I.P. have finally reached a level of performance and affordability that makes hardware experimentation accessible to everyone. At the same time, JavaScript has emerged as the lingua franca of web programming and can be found in many places beyond just the browser.
What if I told you there was a mature protocol that’s been around since 1983 and was uniquely poised to take advantage of this development?</description>

      <description>Code is a communication mechanism. It provides a way for you, the programmer, to tell a machine what to do. It also provides a way for you to tell an engaging and inspiring story to programmers who will read your code in the future. The story of your code is a tale of your intentions, ideally told in a way that others will understand, enjoy reading, and feel empowered to expand upon.</description>

      <description>With modern JavaScript, we have seen a rise in ‘functional style’ javascript popularity. This style introduces a whole slew of terms and patterns that have different connotations depending on who you are talking to. Phrases like purity, higher order functions, and currying are thrown around all over the place. What does ‘no side effects’ mean, and what about when you need to get something done? And what in the world is a ‘monad’?</description>

      <description>There is an ongoing mantra within the developer community: that there are far more jobs available then programmers to fill them. Which should be an indication as to the wonderful potential for both business and those learning to code. Yet what often follows such statements are not words of joy but rather a list of frustrations related to the difficulty in finding and retaining enough skilled developers to fill these positions.</description>

      <description>With the rise of the mobile web, speed has become crucial to success. Users won’t wait around for slow-loading pages and search engines are now punishing sluggish sites. There’s a wealth of ideas out there for cranking up performance, but how do you know where to start? What if you work for days to ship an optimization that doesn’t really pay off? In this talk, you’ll learn how to experiment and fail fast.</description>

      <description>The whole reason of JS Fatigue is not the huge amount of modules we’ve got available, the real issue is the mindset we have when writing code. With an average of 764 new packages a day and lots of new technologies appearing it seems impossible to keep up with the insane velocity things happen in the JavaScript ecosystem, but actually you don’t necessarily need to.
In this talk, I won’t talk about the language itself and I won’t talk about frameworks.</description>

      <description>People have a tendency to assume everyone navigates the world in the same way they do: on two legs, responding to visual cues, hearing speech, reading emotion. For developers this often means web accessibility comes as an afterthought, if at all. But we can do better! Keyboard accessibility affects a broad range of users with vision and mobility impairments, and they still deserve to be able to get spied on by Uber, overshare on social media, and create cat memes.</description>
