Software development can easily become a death by a thousand cuts. In this talk, you will learn the strategies to avoid them and ensure the best possible productivity when working with JavaScript or TypeScript. Want to make your editor correct mistakes for you? Or maybe even write it? How about code formatting? Are you tired of constantly putting 'console.log' into your application code and committing it accidentally? Did you ever share your secrets in a git repository? How to navigate between files quickly? If you had issue with any of those, this talk might be for you. I am using JetBrains IDE's as my daily driver, but most of the content can be applied in different environments as well – come and see how much nicer can development be without putting too much effort.
I'll show you how to build native apps for any OS (desktop and mobile) using regular frontend code. I'll also show you how to connect your app's users directly, making the Cloud completely optional. Socket runtime's P2P protocol makes it possible for unlimited users, anywhere in the world, to communicate in real-time or asynchronously without any needing servers or cloud infrastructure.
In 2023 I finally tried https://adventofcode.com/, motivated by an internal company leaderboard and competition. I finished with 47/50 stars, being 4 in our internal ranking, but there were many ups and downs on my way. Advent tasks are usually algorithmic. I went through them using JavaScript and no external libraries (apart from Jest). I want to share some algorithms I got to know, techniques which helped me and some observations about AoC community.
The topic of API documentation increasingly sparks interest among both developers and tech writers, raising questions such as: * How to properly render API specification to make it informative? * What makes a good API documentation framework from a tech writer's perspective? * How to adjust the framework to the ever-changing needs of (API) documentation? To answer them, let's have a closer look at the customized documentation framework used at Box to explore how a bunch of YAML files becomes a fully-documented API specification. As we go through the process, I will discuss both tools and documentation approaches we use to create great specs and docs.
Patterns and trends that we currently have are not new. Many of them have been there since almost 100 years. We are gonna take journey to the past and talk through some refreshed concepts that are living their second or third youth. This will be historical journey with JS examples.
How AI changed over the years, how it might evolve in the future and how it would affect our jobs.
Like it or not, those days lots of things around us run on Javascript. I will talk about how to put this to good use by utilizing the forbidden craft of "disassembling". We'll also talk about not knowing things, trusting facts and becoming a better engineer.
JavaScript has always been a functional language in object oriented clothing. The same can now be said about TypeScript, maybe even to a greater extent. This talk will describe the evolution of functional programming in JavaScript and TypeScript, and the future that is likely to happen.
What are the building blocks and principles of a good test? What does "good" mean anyway? Join me as I dissect a test of a React component to highlight decisions behind every single line.
