Hint, Hint!: Best Practices for Web Developers with webhint - Rachel Simone Weil, Microsoft

Web developers: Is your web app cross-browser compatible? Accessible? PWA-ready? Performant? How can you tell? And how do you address these concerns before your web app reaches users? In this talk, Rachel Simone Weil will walk through getting up and running with webhint, a user-configurable, open-source tool that can help you navigate—and fix!—common pitfalls during development, debugging, and deployment.

Reinventing Dojo as a Progressive, Modern TypeScript Framework - Dylan Schiemann, Open Web Conferences, LLC

Started in 2004, Dojo Toolkit was a large collection of JS modules to handle app development. It implemented many features we take for granted in the language today, years before they were standardized.

Frameworks struggle with longevity, but apps authored in 2007 with Dojo still work today. Over time the technical debt of old approaches led to a decline in interest as the industry transforms with the death of IE and the rise of ES2015+ & modern browsers.

Dojo struggled with a path forward. We loved some features of modern frameworks, but felt that most required a Ph.D. in the modern JS ecosystem to be successful. Our journey includes many rewrites, resulting in a progressive, lean, modern, reactive TypeScript framework with an incredible amount of default functionality and flexibility.

We'll explore some of the challenges, decisions, and results of this long journey to reinvent Dojo.

Lightning Talk: The $103k API: How NodeJS Saved the U.S. Government $100k - Ryan Hillard, U.S. Small Business Administration

The U.S. Government frequently overpays for basic web technology, simply because there's no one in the room to say 'no'. A vendor wanted to charge the Small Business Administration $103,000 to build an HTML form and stand up a simple API to receive data. Come learn how Ryan used vanilla NodeJS, basic HTML, and AWS Lambda to build a maintenance free process that saved his agency $100,000. Through this lightning talk, Ryan will consider the maintenance costs of JavaScript frameworks, right sizing the solution for your problem, and how large organizations might avoid over engineering.

A Practical Guide to Contributing: Node.js and Other OpenJS Projects - Joe Sepi, IBM

Based on conversations and interviews with a variety of collaborators and maintainers from a number of open-source projects, we'll explore the ways in which you can become a valuable contributor to a project and its community. If you're new to open-source, we'll touch on how to get started, best practices, where to look for help and how to identify good communities. If you are already involved, we'll discuss how to make your environment more welcoming and how you can help new folks be successful. We'll focus on a number of OpenJS projects including Node.js and its many teams and working groups (Releases, Package Maintenance, Security, Modules, etc.), but the takeaways can apply to any open-source project. We'll even spend a moment on open-governance and how foundations work. It'll be fun!

Keynote: Production Loading Performance ...10 Years Later - Nicole Sullivan, Chrome Product Manager & Shubhie Panicker, Software Engineer, Google

Even with terrific technological advances over the last decade, we are still grappling with basic challenges of loading performance. Reaching real world production web sites is crucial for the health of the web, for user experience and performance. Open source powered ecosystem tools play a big role in supporting these sites. The tools include UI frameworks (React, Vue, Angular etc), static site generators, CMS, website builders and further down the stack we have webpack, babel, npm, typescript etc.

This talk covers our recent experiences in working on loading performance in production apps (yet again!) -- challenges faced and the lessons learned.

We come away, even more firmly believing that such problems should be tackled by SDKs of the web and we need to help them succeed. An SDK is an end-to-end system that controls every aspect from getting started, everyday development to deployment, and directly impacts both UX & DX.

Lightning Talk: Unlocking New Web Capabilities Keeping The Web Instant, Powerful And Safe - Maye Edwin, Independent Software Consultant

The Web is getting magical. It's really impressive what the App-like Web can do today. We're seeing a more powerful Web that's powering Apps that are cross-platform, cross-browser and all powered by one codebase.

Making Web Apps do anything Native Apps can do; means that we need to make it even much more safe by maintaining user security, privacy, trust and other core tenets of the Web.

Join Maye in this talk as he dives deeper into how we can build an instant, powerful and safe Web while unlocking new Web Capabilities ( Web APIs ).
