Track Overview
Current Trends in Frontends
The frontend community is more alive than ever! Our users want new functionalities at the speed of light, we have plenty of devices available out there to deploy our favourite language and new technologies are arising with the promise to change how we do things today. There are many trends to keep an eye on, and it’s not always easy to find knowledge from people who are able to do it successfully and possibly at scale.
In this track we are looking at frontend development from the practitioners perspective. Speakers from all over the world with decades of experience on frontend development will share their take on specific topics like webpack, mobile development, micro-frontends architecture and React. We want to share what we are passionate about and what we know that might be useful for delivering successful frontend applications.
