Many Flavours of Enterprise CSS Grid by Chen Hui Jing | JSConf Korea 2022 JSConf 2022-11-12 | It is interesting that even though CSS grid is already 5 years old, usage of CSS grid is not as widespread as it could be. There are many factors at play that could determine whether a project uses CSS grid or not, particularly if the team as a whole is less proficient in CSS. In this talk, we will go through the thought process for implementing a grid system for an application’s frontend, and my experience on weighing the different options available. https://2022.jsconf.kr/en/speakers/chen-hui-jingChen Hui Jing is a self-taught designer and developer living in Singapore, who loves CSS more than the average frontend developer.

The Secret Web Performance Metric No One Is Talking About by Anna Migas | JSConf Korea 2022 JSConf 2022-11-10 | Web performance and its impact on the user experience has been a huge topic over past few years. After working for over a year on a project directed towards emerging markets (namely Nigeria and Kenya), I came to realise that the popular web performance metrics are all centred around a specific type of person: someone who is used to the fast and reliable connection. In my talk I want to share my experience on how to look at the overall web performance with the new metric in mind - user’s patience.During my talk, I want to give an insight on my work with the app that is dedicated towards the users who are working with it in not-so-ideal conditions with an unreliable connection and how to guide them through this experience. I want to chat about the cases when web performance metrics as we know it will not be applicable and what can we do to ensure the user will be able to successfully navigate the app using the well designed information and some performance tricks. I will also share details about the background of users in Africa and how their perception might differ from the users we typically develop for—since these are the fastest growing markets, maybe soon this knowledge come useful to you toohttps://2022.jsconf.kr/en/speakers/anna-migasAnna works as a Lead UI Developer at Field Intelligence helping to bring healthcare the fastest emerging markets in the world.

Accessibility with Svelte - Beyond Compiler Warnings by Anuradha Kumari | JSConf Korea 2022 JSConf 2022-11-06 | Svelte is an accessibility-first framework. However, the compiler warnings can only catch a few of the issues. In this talk, we will explore some important use cases with Svelte code, accessibility issues that can block the assistive technology users from proceeding, and how to fix those. For example - handling dynamic changes, respecting user device settings, and using JavaScript to make complex components accessible to all users. We will also dive into the accessibility tree to see how the assistive technologies understand web content and how we can use that understanding to create a robust document structure.Key takeaways: A deeper understanding of accessibility concepts that will help the audience contribute to a more inclusive and accessible digital world.

The Next Exciting JavaScript Feature: Records & Tuples by Nicolò Ribaudo | JSConf Korea 2022 JSConf 2022-11-06 | Immutability and deep equality. Two keywords that were initially relegated to strict functional programming environments, but have been popularized across the JavaScript community thanks to libraries like Immutable.js, Immer and React."Records & Tuples" is a new ECMAScript proposal that brings two new immutable primitives to the language: what do they look like, what capabilities do they bring, and when will you finally be able to use them?https://2022.jsconf.kr/en/speakers/nicol-ribaudo Nicolò is an Open Source Developer, a maintainer of Babel — the JavaScript compiler — and a contributor to different JavaScript tools.

How to Fail Successfully by Eleanor Rumsey | JSConf Korea 2022 JSConf 2022-11-05 | Software engineering interns are overwhelmed with information about how Software engineering interns are overwhelmed with information about how to be the perfect intern; how to have the most eye-catching resume, what buzzwords to use in your LinkedIn profile, how many hours to practice LeetCode problems every day, etc. The non-technical obstacles that many people face in the process of applying, interviewing, and working as an intern in a tech company are often overlooked. Some of these obstacles that new interns face include feeling like you know nothing, being cautious to ask questions and appear stupid, and feeling terrified to be discovered as a failure. On top of this, interns who are minorities in the field (including by gender, race, or age) face even more of these anxieties. I want to also address colleagues and managers of interns and offer some ideas of how to offer the best support and remember how it feels to be a new intern. These aren’t topics that are commonly talked about or even acknowledged in software engineering and I believe it’s beneficial to people in all roles to start this discussion.https://2022.jsconf.kr/en/speakers/eleanor-rumsey I’m Ellie! I’m a full stack software engineer at Fellow.app, and a recent graduate of the University of Ottawa. I love learning new things, and I’m especially passionate about encouraging women and other minorities in the tech industry.
Understanding and Optimizing Interaction to Next Paint (INP) by Jeremy Wagner | JSConf Korea 2022 JSConf 2022-11-05 | Did you know that 90% of time spent on most web pages is after page load? In this span of time, users are interacting with your website through a series of interactions such as clicks, taps, and keyboard inputs—and the slower your website is to respond to those interactions, the more likely your users will have a negative user experience with your website.At Google, we've invested significant time in creating new metrics to assess page responsiveness. One of these metrics is First Input Delay (FID), which is a load responsiveness metric that captures the input delay of the first interaction. However, we discovered that we needed a new responsiveness metric that samples more than just the first interaction—and more than simply that interaction's input delay.In order to comprehensively assess overall page responsiveness, we've created the new Interaction to Next Paint (INP) metric. INP samples all page interactions, and goes beyond measuring just the input delay. In this talk, you'll find out all about INP, how it works, why it matters, how you can measure it, and how you can improve it. https://2022.jsconf.kr/en/speakers/jeremy-wagnerJeremy Wagner is more of a writer than a web developer, but he does both anyway. He has written Responsible JavaScript for A Book Apart, as well as other publications. Jeremy will someday relocate to the remote wilderness where sand has not yet been taught to think.

How Your Bundle Size Affects The Climate by Roy Derks JSConf 2022-06-30 | A large bundle size is the biggest fear to any JavaScript developer, but who knew a large bundle size affects more than your user experience? A large bundle also means that the CO2 footprint of your website is also bigger, as larger bundles need more bandwidth and resources. In 2020 the average website was 4 times bigger than 10 years before, what are the climate effects of this? In this talk I'll show how your website is impacting the climate, and how you can (and should) change this.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/roy-derksAbout Roy:Roy Derks an experienced engineering leader, developer, author and public speaker from the Netherlands.

Communicating Intention with Functional TypeScript by Thiago Temple JSConf 2022-06-28 | We spend a lot of our time reading code for many different reasons, code that may have been written by yourself or someone else. So why not do our future selves and colleagues a favour and write code that at a glance will communicate what it's doing? And while doing that let’s leverage what TypeScript has to offer as well as some good functional programming practices. In the end, we want to spend less time trying to understand some “clever” code or uncover some hidden surprises and more time shipping value to our clients.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/thiago-templeAbout Thiago:I'm a Brazilian developer based in Ottawa, Canada. I have been building software for about twenty years, and my professional interests are mostly related to web development and different programming languages. I sometimes speak my mind on my blog templecoding.com and I have produced a couple of online training courses for PluralSight. Currently, I'm working at Shopify as a staff developer.
Documentation: The Missing Pieces by Adrienne Tacke JSConf 2022-06-28 | Document all the things, they say! But are we documenting for ALL the PEOPLE? It seems that most documentation is written for the intermediate and above devs, the devs who have been around, and the devs who are already comfortable with programming.But what about the true beginners, the career-transitioners, or those crossing domains? Most documentation is certainly not written for them!In this talk, we'll exploreCommon oversights and assumptions most documentation has built-in by defaultTechniques that make our documentation more approachable for all kinds of peopleHow to strengthen our technical writing skills to ensure, to the best of our ability, that every anticipated reader of our documentation never feels lost or frustrated.By the end of this talk, you'll leave and never write documentation in the same way again...and that's a good thing!https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/adrienne-tackeAbout Adrienne:Currently a Senior Developer Advocate for MongoDB, Adrienne Tacke is also a Filipina software engineer, speaker, published author of the book Coding for Kids: Python, and a LinkedIn Learning instructor who specializes in Cloud Development courses.

DX is UX by Mathieu Anderson JSConf 2022-06-27 | As users of applications, we are very critical when it comes to our experience. Quick to dismiss and abandon products at the slightest irritation: a delayed response, an unexpected behavior, an unresponsive button, a distasteful design.But as developers, we often resign ourselves to the ordinary pains and discomfort of our daily codebase. Long build time, flaky tests, mysterious black boxes of legacy code, endless debates about inconsequential choices, unhelpful review process… Those are all bad experiences. Those are all preventable, fixable. Developers are the users of their codebase.Why should we not strive to make this user experience as delightful as possible, for everyone involved?https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/mathieu-andersonAbout Mathieu:I am a career switcher. Four years ago, I was a film archivist and digital project manager, but I wanted to *make* things, not *manage* things. Since then I worked at two start-ups in Brussels and Berlin, and strived to improve not only the product but the process of making it.
The emotional chaos of deploying code by Alexandra Sunderland JSConf 2022-06-22 | Deploying code is one of the most routine and process-led events that an engineering team takes part in, and yet, most teams are not aware of the extensive range of intense emotions that deploys can cause across an entire company if not handled properly. From people in sales feeling upset when they weren’t made aware of changes that affect their demos, to those in customer success who feel nervous about incoming support requests when they haven’t been properly trained on new features, the reach of deploys goes far beyond the immediate developers working on them.As a manager or team lead, it’s important to ensure psychological safety and wellbeing for everyone, and to do that we need to take a step back and look at the larger picture of not only how our team is feeling, but how our team is making others feel too. In a remote-first world where it’s easy to hide feelings of anger, frustration, and fear behind screens, it’s critical to dive deeper into how our actions and decisions are affecting others, and course-correct to create a better environment for all.In this talk, we’ll explore how a variety of people in different roles are affected by deploys, what emotional responses you might not be noticing, and how managers can facilitate future releases to mitigate any negative effects from hidden feelings.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/alexandra_sunderlandAbout Alexandra:Alexandra Sunderland is an Engineering Manager at Fellow.app, a platform where teams gather to build collaborative meeting agendas, record decisions, and keep each other accountable.

The Power of JS Generators by Anjana Vakil JSConf 2022-06-21 | Generators have been around in JavaScript since ES2015, yet remain largely ignored by many JS devs, who don’t see why or how they’d use them in their day-to-day work. But generators - which we can think of as special functions whose execution can be “paused” and resumed later on - are actually extremely powerful tools for producing and consuming series of data. That makes them perfect for implementing lazy sequences, custom iterables, animation, even the convenient asynchronous programming we now enjoy with “await”! In this talk we’ll dive into how JS generators work, what makes them so powerful, and why you should care.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/anjana-vakilAbout Anjana:Anjana suffers from a chronic case of curiosity, which led her from philosophy to English teaching to computational linguistics to software development. These days she mostly codes & teaches from her home base in San Francisco, but she’ll always be a traveler at heart. Nerd out with her about functional programming & JavaScript, ask her about the Recurse Center & Outreachy, and definitely invite her to your karaoke party!
A/B testing and canary releases - why, what and how? by Rafal Rumanek JSConf 2022-06-21 | The engineer's perspective on experimenting and finding a cure for scurvy 🚀Having proper options for testing, collecting qualitative and quantitive data, and understanding it is crucial to success in product development. A/B tests and canary releases are separate topics that serve different purposes, but as they have some overlapping parts in terms of organizing your development process and code architecture, it might be worth taking a look at both of them. In this session I'll:- elaborate on the need for those solutions, go through a few successful (and disastrous) case studies from my experience,- talk about tools that can help you efficiently manage, optimize and measure the process,- give hints on how to tackle the problem of insufficient data from the statistical standpoint and other pitfalls you should know about,- say a few words about ideas for tests and where to look for knowledge in this area, - tell you a story of finding a cure for scurvy - and failing on the way.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/rafal-rumanekAbout Rafal:A business-driven engineer with a deep passion for frontend (especially web performance) and product development. Apart from regular work, Rafal actively contributes to the community by organizing local meetups (Angular Dragons) and mentorship (girls.js/ngGirls workshops).

Two years of pandemic for our mental health: and now what? by Antonio Cobo JSConf 2022-06-20 | Covid-19 has changed the world. As someone working in IT I was one of the privileged who could work from home. It was not a choice, we had to work from home as a matter of survival.

To kill a working drone: flying a drone with twitter, bananas & Web APIs by Nhlanhla Lucky Nkosi JSConf 2022-06-20 | The web is fast becoming the main means through which people interact with all sorts of technologies. With every new invention, users ask "but can it work with a browser?" With modern Web APIs, the answer is almost always yes; even to the question "can you fly a drone with a banana?"In this talk, I show the audience the power of said APIs and discuss a few cool experimental APIs. I do this by taking them on a journey through my experience of trying to hack a drone and fly it with a banana and close it off by letting the entire crowd fly the drone through Twitter in real-time.If you're interested in all things web, custom controllers, Bluetooth technology, and accelerometer-based controls, or if you just like fruit and seeing silly applications of web technology, this talk is for you.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/nhlanhla-lucky-nkosiAbout LuckyI work as a Software Engineer in the R&D team of a company called BBD in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Doctor Will See You Now: Machine Learning for Telehealth by Mark Brouch JSConf 2022-06-17 | In this presentation, I will tell the story of how we built a telehealth app in the browser for doctors to see patients virtually during the pandemic, and how we implemented a virtual backgrounds feature so that doctors can always have a professional-looking video background, even when seeing patients from home. I will explain how machine learning in the browser works with TensorFlow.js, and how to use segmentation models to identify a person in an image with BodyPix. I will also cover how to take ML segmentation data and use it to paint a virtual background behind a person on a video call using HTML Canvas compositing techniques - all in JavaScript. Finally, I will demo this feature with a sample video chat web application running on Twilio.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/mark-brouchAbout MarkMark is a Software Engineer for Doximity, working remotely out of Honolulu, HI where he is helping to bring telehealth to the largest professional medical network.

7±2 Reasons Psychology Will Help You Write Better Code by Moran Weber JSConf 2022-06-17 | During the Cold War, the CIA knew how to expose Russian spies disguised as American citizens with 100% certainty. They used only a piece of paper and a few questions. How did they do that? Hacking your mind is easier than you think. Let’s explore how these mental hacks affect the code we all read and write. We’ll take a stroll through the world of cognitive psychology, and shed some light on some of our industry’s best and worst practices. We’ll have a few interactive examples of our mind’s limitations, examine how these limitations manifest themselves in real code samples and engineering practices, and take away scientifically backed techniques on how to write better code.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/moran-weberAbout MoranMoran Weber is the CEO & Founder of Women on Stage; a platform to showcase, book, and train women professional speakers for any tech event, conference, meetup, or webinar (https://www.womenonstage.net/).

No way, JOSE! by Sam Bellen JSConf 2022-06-16 | Is your first thought when thinking about cryptography, “nope, that’s not for me!”? There’s no need to. When explained with simple examples, you can see the basics are not that complicated. The Javascript Object Signing and Encryption, or JOSE for short is a framework that helps us deal with encryption. It describes ways to securely transfer data either signed (JWS) or encrypted (JWE). Let’s take a leap of faith and explore the wonderful world of cryptography together, shall we?In this talk, I will try to explain the basics of encryption and hashing through simple examples. We’ll look into how the JOSE standard can help us with encrypted content on the web using JSON Web Encryption (JWE) and JSON Web Keys (JWK). The audience does not need any specific knowledge about cryptography as this talk will go through the basics. Some JavaScript knowledge can be useful but not necessary as code examples will be simple and explained.Why? The times when websites were just simple pieces of information is long gone. These days the web handles more sensitive data than ever before. To securely handle this data, we sometimes need to hash, encrypt or sign it. Sure there are a million tools, libraries and pieces of software that handle this for you, but knowing the basics can certainly come in handy!https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/sam-bellenAbout SamI'm a Google Developer Expert who works as a Developer Advocate Engineer at Auth0.

Testing Web Accessibility by Adrián Bolonio JSConf 2022-06-16 | We want our web app to be effective, efficient, and satisfying for the user, but a lot of times we don’t think about the user experience for people with disabilities, including people with age-related impairment. How can automated a11y tests and manual test help us make our interface better?When we develop a new web application, we often put a lot of work on the design, on making it beautiful and usable. In other words, we want our web app to be effective, efficient, and satisfying for the user. But a lot of times we don’t think about the user experience for people with disabilities, including people with age-related impairments.Web accessibility (a11y ) means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with websites and tools, and that they can contribute equally without barriers.” (Source: W3C - Web Accessibility Initiative). Our role as frontend and web developers is to create clear interfaces to make people understand and care about data, independently of their disabilities or impairments, but what we, developers, often forget is to ensure that the code we write follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and the only way to achieve that is testing, either manual or automated.Automated web a11y tests can free up our QA team from manual testing every part of our application, but, they can’t automatically make our site accessible. We should use automated a11y tests as one step of a larger testing process.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/adrian-bolonioAbout AdrianHi, my name is Adrián Bolonio.

Typed JavaScript? For real? The “type annotations” proposal and what it’s all about by Gil Tayar JSConf 2022-06-13 | A major earthquake has hit TC39, the JavaScript standards committee. A proposal for adding type annotations to JavaScript has just landed in the committee, and has been approved for Stage 1.What is this proposal all about? How did it come to be? What is the motivation behind it? What are its pros and cons? Why are some people excited about it, some wary, some angry, and some afraid? As one of the writers of this proposal, I will delve into the details of the proposal, and try to answer all the questions above.https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/gil-tayarAbout Gil30 years of experience have not dulled the fascination Gil Tayar has with software development. His passion is distributed systems and figuring out how to scale development to big teams. Extreme modularity and testing are the main tools in his toolbelt, using them to combat the code spaghetti monster at companies like Wix, Applitools, and at his current job as software architect at Roundforest.In his private life, he is a dad to two lovely kids (and a cat), an avid reader of Science Fiction, (he counts Samuel Delany, Robert Silverberg, and Robert Heinlein as favorites) and a passionate film buff. (Stanley Kubrick, Lars Von Trier, David Cronenberg, anybody?)Unfortunately for him, he hasn’t answered the big question of his life—what’s better, static or dynamic languages? But he’s working on it.
